(+) Though he’s been awesome, Rice still hasn't quite had his blow-up season just yet…which we could easily see coming in 2012
(+) Rice has the third-most rushing yards in the league over the last three seasons combined (1,364 last season, 1,220 in 2010 and 1,339 in 2009; #1-Chris Johnson; #2-MJD)
(+) …and he EASILY has the most receptions and receiving yards for a RB in the same time (2011 - 76 catches for 704 yards; 2010 - 63/556; 2009 - 78/702)
(+) Basically, R2D2 is a PPR Machine
(+) Has received over 100 targets in two of the last three seasons
(+) Had 15 combined TDs last season, which was one more than his previous three years combined. Think FB Vonta Leach had anything to do with that? (He’s still in Baltimore in 2012)
(+) Rice even THREW for a TD last year!
(+) Flacco may be the QB, but Baltimore seems to be developing the offense around Rice
(–) Ray has been terrible in the playoffs for the last two years (four games) and looks to have a bit of trouble performing on the big stage
(–) At 5'8", 212-pounds, durability will always be an issue
What a beast this kid turned out to be! He didn’t come out of nowhere, however, as many had him pegged as a nice sleeper heading into the season, but the numbers he put up in the end were much more staggering than anticipated. He is built in the same frame as Maurice Jones-Drew, fireplug-style, and though he’s not as strong as MJD, he does add a little bit more elusiveness to his game. His style of play allowed him to become (basically) an every-down back in 2009, as he wound up stealing away a ton of carries from his backfield mate, Willis McGahee, as the year moved along. However, McGahee kept his role as the touchdown-maker for the duration of the season (12 rushing, 2 receiving), which took a bunch of possible fantasy points away from “Rated R”.
~ Set career bests in yards (1,339), attempts (254), rushing touchdowns (7, 8 total), yards/attempt (5.3), yards/game (83.7), receptions (78), receiving yards (702), and total yards from scrimmage (2,041)
Here's how the Ravens offense will look in 2010. Joe Flacco receives the ball from center, hands off to Rice, who gets the Ravens inside the 10 where Flacco hands off to Willis McGahee who scores a touchdown. Rinse and repeat. Since it looks like the Ravens will be holding on to McGahee for at least one more season, it’s tough to see how Rice could do much better than what he put up last year. He might be able to add a couple more touchdowns, whether they be rushing or receiving, but more than likely, his stats will be right around the same as in 2009. Of course, that sort of production is pretty darn good and rates him within the Top-5 fantasy RBs in the league, so don’t be afraid to draft him as your #1 guy in upcoming drafts.
~ McGahee will still be in the mix, so Rice doesn’t have much room to grow
~ With a better receiving corps this year, the offense will undoubtedly open up for Rice
~ Rice is about as electric as they come, and with another offseason to grow with the offense, he should be even more lethal in 2010

Willis McGahee - Willis used to be a starter, but Rice is simply better than him, and McGahee seems to know it. However, if you do end up with Rice, you'd probably be wise to back him up with McGahee just in case.
This kid is a rock. They don't call him 'Pocket Hercules' because he's a puss
