What to do with the Ravens RB situation

I drafted Ray Rice in two leagues ("low" investment, 6th round in one, 8th in the other). I picked up Bernard Pierce to have for the first two weeks (Or so I thought.)
Now what? Obviously, I cut bait with Rice. Do I just pick up Forsett and wait it out? Should I cut bait with Pierce, too? I looked at Pierce's career numbers and he's got 3.7 YPC over his career. Not exactly lead back numbers.
I kind of feel like I should be dumping Pierce as well and go in another direction entirely - there are decent WRs still available in both leagues, Quick, Lee, Hurns, etc. as well as Isiah Crowell or Dexter McCluster (for PPR reasons.)
If you had Rice and Pierce in two leagues, what would you be trying to do today?

Pick up Forsett for Rice and see how it shakes out. We're only a week in...Pierce isn't the only back that laid an egg week 1. My best guess is rbbc with Forsett being the better PPR back.

I think forsett will be the guy, pierce has struggled when given chances last year and this first game.
They will likely add a RB though, maybe even lamichael james

Psst...I think the guy ultimately is going to be Lorenzo Taliaffero (shhhh)

Thanks for the replies. I received a trade offer of Lamar Miller for Pierce.
I have to take that, right?
If I take that and sign Isiah Crowell to replace Rice, I wash my hands entirely of the Ravens RB situation.

I have an empty spot on my bench so gonna be picking up Forsett or Taliaferro. Forsett hasn't been very... Good minus Sunday's showing.

Instant accept Lamar Miller.

Rolling Morris and Johnson in 12 team. Picked up Fred and Pierce hoping one of them can fill a backup role. Dire year. fricking fantasy.
