M. Turner
or
R. Rice

Turner is an absolute stud, Miami is tough against the run and then add in that he won't have any catches. I am in a ppr league (which Turner never really helped me out with last season). From what I can tell, R. Rice should have a monster game at home vs. KC - and will have some catches to go with it. Do I bench my stud workhorse from last year in week 1 for this kid with all sorts of expectations in Rice?

That's tough. I benched Chris Johnson last night for Barber or Rice. I'm in ppr as well. Tough decision. You gotta go with the gut.

Out of curiosity, who are your other RBs including your other starter(s).

I'd roll with Turner...he had to be your 1st round pick so start him in Week 1 to see how the Balt situation shakes out.

Bagofmilk - Other Starters are:
Hass over Cutler
M. Forte
Calvin Johnson
C. Ochocinco
E. Royal over A. Gonzalez
J. Witten
Longwell
NYG

So, # 2 running back comes down to M. Turner or R. Rice

Well, we're in a keeper league, luckily I had both Turner and Forte before the draft began...but everything I read on this Rice kid against KC makes it difficult to ignore

Turner is a matchup guy...I played him all last year against bad defense's but stayed away from him this yr cause of his tougher schedule & high draft rank...Miami isn't the best of D's but they normally start the season very tough...were not sure how much McGahee will be used but the early reports all favor Rice & his matchup couldn't be better...I would absolutely start Rice over him...good luck
