Kind of what the guy above said, but I don't see any scenario in which I would want those two over Calvin. Ray Rice MAY have a good year, but he does split carries with two other guys, plus McClain is going to see most of the goal line carries, most likely. And Colston is worthless to me. He's been a major disappointment for the last two years, and the Lance Moore connection last season was not a fluke. Brees will be throwing to him. In Detroit, there's one guy, and that's Johnson. I would absolutely take the Johnson side.
QB: Matt Schaub WR: Andre Johnson WR: Calvin Johnson RB: Steven Jackson RB: Ryan Grant W/R: TJ Houshmandzadeh W/R: Bernard Berrian W/R: Lendale White Bench: Felix Jones, Ray Rice, Donald Brown, Rashard Mendenhall, Ted Ginn Jr. and Kyle Orton.

8/25/09 - "Beat writer Mike Preston observed that Le'Ron McClain appeared hesitant running in the Ravens' second preseason game.
Maybe it's because McClain doesn't get the ball anymore. He saw just three touches (one carry) Monday and was nowhere to be found in the Ravens' preseason opener. Ray Rice may have the goal-line back job locked up."
8/22/09 - "Marques Colston caught six passes for 66 yards against the Texans Saturday night.
Colston caught all six of his targets and appears to be no worse for the wear after offseason microfracture surgery. While Reggie Bush has had setbacks, Colston insists he's feeling great and looks the part. He's safe to draft as a WR1."

I thought the trade was Colston/Rice for Megatron.
You have Rice and Megatron listed as on your roster.
I know, my bad, I meant to say my 2nd WR was Marques Colston. In the trade, I gave up Colston and Rice and I got Calvin Johnson. The trade hasn't gone through yet, but I figured I could take the hit on 2 players who both could be very good for one player who could be amazing.

Believe it or not, I've watched almost every televised game he has played since he was a freshman at Georgia Tech. I believed back then that he was the next great wr.
I go to one Panthers home game every season and last year I picked the Lions game just to see Calvin.
That said, Colston and Rice may have been a little steep with so many flex positions. They should both be productive starters.

I don't trust Colston to stay healthy. If I'm going to draft Colston, it's because I'm looking to trade him before week 1, personally. I got burned badly two seasons in a row by him, and I won't draft him again until he proves that he's a legitimate #1 receiver. I couldn't care less what a guy does in preseason. We all know, and the guys writing this stuff know that preseason doesn't mean jack. He has legit talent at HB outside of Rice, and CJ is an absolute upgrade over Colston, imo. There's no way I wouldn't make that trade.
