You could really make a case for any of Charles, Rice, Martin, Spiller. Who are you keeping?

Take Martin, Ray and the Ravens offense will struggle a bit this year. A lot of checkdowns and FGs. Martin will carry the Tampa offense in high scoring games against the NFC South teams as opposed to Ray in the defensive AFC North.

Also, Charles & Spiller are fine picks as well. Dont buy the JC news that came out today. If anything it helps people who have later 1st round picks.

Personally I'm going Martin and it's not close. Ray Rice clone and it's a keeper bro. I believe Ray has hit and passed his fantasy prime. Martin is just now starting and he plays on a great team. The division is shite and he'll murder for years to come.

ETA: Him , Rice or Charles would be great choices but I'm taking the versatile martin over Charles (reids offense) and Rice (he's carried them for 3 years and that division is filled with 3 really good D's)

You say check downs like its a negative thing for Rice.


Rice has been a top 5 back in 09, 10, 11, 12 with a passing offense that was 18th, 20th, 19th, 15th. He is the offense. That's the point in drafting him.

Not to mention 6 of the top 10 scoring RBs in PPR last season came from offenses ranked in the bottom half on the NFL

Why?

He's been a top 5 back 4 years in a row. Health, production. Who else can say that?

He said non PPR, Rice is still a 1st round pick but there are RBs now that are overtaking those top 5 spots. Martin may be one of them. Martin will have more opportunties to score then Rice will this season, not to mention Rice has Pierce hanging in the background for touches. Martin has Brian Leonard,

Oh. I thought you said he's over the hill.

I like Martin. I like Spiller too. Just give me the proven thing.

Nah, that was Tigah that said he was over the hill. I just don't think he's a top 5 back "this season"

I'd probably go with Martin. He finished with 1946 yards from scrimmage, has no real competition, and has a coach who believes in the running game.

And he's called Muscle Hamster which he hates. The choice is clear.

I've looked into my crystal ball and here is your answer:

Spiller
Martin
Rice

Spiller will be the #1 back in fantasy. Let it be known (after my draft).
