SUMMARY
Running Back Rank: #25   
Overall: #48


Rice showed some flashes of good things his rookie season, but competed with Willis McGahee and Le'Ron McClain for playing time. He'll compete with both backs again this season, but has a chance to play a much larger role. The Ravens like his ability and Rice has the talent to be a top NFL back. He had one 100-yard game last season and finished with 33 receptions. He is the best receiving back for the Ravens. Rice isn't the biggest back, but he hits the hole hard and can get past the first line of defenders in a hurry. He also runs with decent power for not being very big.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Rice is worth a flyer as a No. 3 back. It wouldn't be a surprise to see him be the most productive of all the Ravens backs. He has the most ability. The big concern about him fantasy wise is his ability to score. McClain could get the goal-line work and Rice went without a touchdown his rookie season.
The Associated Press reports Baltimore Ravens RB Ray Rice had 11 carries for 103 yards and five receptions for 49 receiving yards Week 4.
Fantasy Impact: Rice got most of the work at running back for the Ravens and produced big numbers. We still think he'll produce better overall numbers than Willis McGahee before it is all said and done.

CBSSports.com reports Baltimore Ravens RB Ray Rice will take carries away from RB Willis McGahee and FB Le'Ron McClain, including in the red zone. Rice will also be heavily used out of the backfield for screen passes.
Fantasy Impact: Rice is setup for a breakout season.
Baltimore Ravens RB Ray Rice was a double threat during the team's preseason game Saturday, Aug. 29, against the Carolina Panthers. He had 10 carries for 32 yards, but also had eight receptions for 67 yards.
Fantasy Impact: Rice is quickly moving up draft boards and with good reason. He has a ton of total yardage potential in a good Ravens rush defense.

CBSSports.com reports the Baltimore Ravens have featured RB Ray Rice in their passing offense during training camp. Rice has been the recipient of many screen passes during drills. The team is likely going to use Rice as a receiver out of the backfield this season. His small stature makes him hard to see when he catches middle screen passes.
Fantasy Impact: Rice really seems setup for a breakout season. He is going to get a lot of touches.

Mike Preston, of The Baltimore Sun, reports Baltimore Ravens RB Ray Rice said he will work on becoming an all-around running back this offseason. 'This offseason, I'm going to do more catching and blocking,' Rice said. 'I'm going to prepare harder because I now know what it takes to play in this league. I'm going to prepare to get the ball in my hands somehow, some way - every way possible.'
Fantasy Impact: Rice has a chance to play a much bigger role in the Ravens offense next season.
