McFadden or Ray Rice?

Postby JimiRayThunderaxe » Wed Aug 26, 2009 8:58 pm

Standard non-ppr.

Who would you grab if you had to pick and why?

Both players value really goes with PPR's. In a standard league I would go with Rice. I think he will be in the backfield more than McFadden. Rice should see15-20 running plays per game I do not see McFadden getting more than 15.

Rice. I see McFadden being more useful in a PPR league.
A win next week and all is forgotten.

Sorry guys, of these two RBBC situations I say McFadden.

McFadden's (Bush) handcuff has a higher upside than McClain or McGahee. Plus I think McFadden will have a more immeadiate impact than Rice IMO. If you can get him around LenDale White and Derrick Ward, pick him.

His early schedule is tough, but if you can hold out his late schedule is nice and playoff schedule is sweeeeeet:
SD-KC-DEN-HOU-NYG-PHI-NYJ
SD-BYE-KC-CIN-DAL-PIT-WAS
DEN-CLE

I'm targeting McFadden for a mid season trade after a slow start through the Giants, Eagles and Jets.

Rice may blow up, but I think people are overpaying for him. He should be a pick in the realm of Brown and Felix Jones. I bet he's not available by then, though, because of the internet love-fest for him. His handcuffs (McGahee, McClain) have little to no potential. Granted, Rice may not warrant a handcuff.

His schedule is really nice, though. Really nice. But his playoff schedule suuuucks:
KC-SD-CLE-NE-CIN-MIN-BYE
DEN-CIN-CLE-IND-PIT-GB-DET
CHI-PIT

Drafted Rice in a PPR league (McFadden was already gone) and I have every intention of trying to swap the two mid-year.

I'd say Rice

Oakland is going to be behind a LOT so they will be passing more, where Baltimore will be rushing a lot more.

I'm a huge rice fan

I think Rice has more upside than McFadden but McFadden is the safer pick with still decent upside. I'd take McFadden in the 4th round and Rice in the 5th of a 12 team league.

How's my team? http://www.fantasyfootballcafe.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=441746

I actually took Rice in the 5th at pick 53. It may have been a bit of a reach but he wasn't going to be around by my next pick (68) and I had him ranked significantly higher than the other available RBs (White, Moreno, Lewis, Bradshaw, Bush).
