Taking Over as the Top Runner in Baltimore

Rice showed flashes of being a good runner in the NFL last year. However, Ray was held back most of the year being the third runner in a three man committee. This off-season Willis McGahee had another surgery on his knee and some doubt he will come back and play much or at all this year. If this holds true Ray Rice stands to take the main work load in the offense.

Sure big bad LeRon McClain will get his as well but Rice is the more talented runner outside the 20's. In this two back committee Rice will lose just about every touchdown opportunity inside the 20 this year to McClain. This is backed up by last years numbers were LeRon had double digit touchdowns and Ray had zero touchdowns for the season.


Ray Rice's Fantasy Football Value in 2009

If in fact, McGahee cannot play this year Rice will be a 1,000 plus yard runner this season. He also has solid hands for the receiving game as he had 33 receptions a year ago. Furthermore, throw in that Rice has Cam Camrin as an offensive coordinator and a strong offensive line. However, even with all those positives the man won't be a No 2 runner for your fantasy team until he can take some of the touchdowns away from big bad LeRon McClain.

Zero touchdowns last year tells me the only time he will find pay dirt this year is from outside the 20. When he succeeds it will mean a big week if you started him. However, that success probably won' t come every week.

Right now Ray makes for a nice player to stash away in the last rounds of your fantasy draft. He has the skills to be a good No 2 runner for your fantasy team, but right now he needs some more luck to bounce his way.
