Obviously for the first 2 games he's getting the ball but once Rice comes back do you see his value being fully diminished? Rice sucked last year. What says the fantasy board?

I'm curious about this too. Guy in one of my leagues keeps trying to get me to take him. He tried trading me pierce and Edelman for Rashad Jennings. I counted with Jennings and Keenan Allen for Julio. He has pierce and Stephen Jackson to choose between.

I wouldn't expect pierce to keep the starting job without a fight from rice, but I honestly don't know much about their situation.

Pierce wasn't any better.

the blocking was pretty bad. The Ravens topped 20 points only five times last season, including only twice in its last 11 games.

i doubt it could get much worse than that though.

if you have to, I'd start Pierce as a flex maybe while he's the starter.

just depends on who else you have on your team.

i don't know if he's a must start though.

How do you guys see Rice playing this season?

I think he'll be decent.

I think he'll be RB3 quality. Flacco's O-line can't regress much further and he's got quality targets to keep defenses from stacking the box too much like last year. The Ravens O should see a small bounce back. Hopefully
