rice or MJD

[Sheldon Wolowizard]

I'm trying to decide between drafting MJD and Ray Rice. I think MJD will get more scores. It's a PPR league and I'm not sure how much Bolden will hurt Rice's reception total.

Any ideas which way to lean?

[Delhommey]

That's a coin flip, but Rice will be in the better offense most likely.

[Panthro]

whereas mjd is the offense

total toss up.

my question is AP or MJD

[Woodcookedbbq]

Rice gets a lot of receptions and goal line carries. I'd think he'd have the edge.

[Carolinator]

Take Rice. You'll be happy

[Kettle]

i've been thinking rice also

Rice gets a lot of receptions and goal line carries. I'd think he'd have the edge.

I'd have to argue that.

I'd have to argue that.

At the beginning of the 2009 season McGahee got all the goaline carries. However speaking from experience (I had him on my fantasy team unfortunately) McGahee hardly touched the ball after week six.

McClain/McGahee are still going to get a lot of goalline work. Rice is incredible between the 20s.

If McGahee is traded...Rice > MJD. Otherwise...tossup.

Take Jones-Drew.

I think its clear my feelings on him. I feel he is the best all around back in the NFL.

Boldin and Stall are going to take receptions away from him and he won't be as relied on as he was last year because of these additions. Boldin is going to rack up 800+ yards, Stall will get over 500. That is less catching and running yards for Rice and it seems that Baltimore is still high on McClain for some reason. Rice had a breakout season last year by scoring 8 total touchdowns. Jones Drew has never had less than 9 touchdowns. Rice had 3 fumbles lost last season. Jones Drew has never had more than 2 in any of his seasons. He is the goal line offense of the Jaguars and we are now running goal line wildcat with him. Expect his 15 touchdowns to remain. He is also getting some time in the return game and could be a threat to score on special teams. I would go with him as he has proven every year he is a scoring machine.

You don't know for sure how Baltimore will run its new offense.
