Start Ray Rice or not?

[tomtbone 0]

Been a lurker for awhile here and thought it was time to join and contribute....but first I could use a little help for week 1 in my non-ppr league.

Three RB's to start

 

Arian Foster

Shonn Greene vs. DAL

Ray Rice vs. PIT

Tim Hightower vs. NYG

Beanie Wells vs. CAR

Ben Tate

 

My main predicament right now is with Ray Rice, but I realize things could also change if Foster doesn't play. Both Greene and Hightower have favorable matchups and preseason buzz. Lets say Foster starts, what would your preferred order be with Greene Rice Hightower and Wells. I am leaning toward benching Rice with arguments on the interwebs going both ways.

as a texan fan imo if foster does play i think it will be in a limited role to prevent further injury

 

start rice

Nice job getting Foster and Rice! That is unbelievable. I don't think Foster plays if he can't go 100%, so if he does start you should play him. Keep an eye on the injury report, he will probably be a game time decision. If he sits I would go with Ray Rice, Wells, and Greene. If Foster sits then Ward and Tate will split carries and I think Wells and Green are better options. Good luck!

flacco will be dumping down to rice all day, especially on 3rd down. he should be good for 40-50 yards receiving and another 30-40 on the ground.

Bench Rice. Go with Hightower & Beanie.

Timmy vs. NYG. They just lost another guy on D, they are in shambles.

Beannie vs. Car. Carolina is terrible, Stephens-Howling and new Chester are the only options to back him up.....he will get lots of PT!

 

Ray vs. Pitt could be ugly.
