Ray Rice Online Bio's
Contract
Signed a four-year, $2.805 million contract in July 2008 that included a $1.1 million signing bonus. The remaining years are outlined below:
2009 - $385,000
2010 - $470,000
2011 - $555,000
2012 - Free Agent
Handcuff 2010
Willis McGahee - Willis now knows his place on this team, yet he is still oddly young, and remains an excellent handcuff to Ray Rice in 2010.
2009 Archives (published August, 2009)
Three's Company
Rice played in 12 regular season games before missing the last three with a calf injury. He was playing behind two of the more successful running backs last year, in veteran Willis McGahee and the surprise bulldozer Le'Ron McClain. Rice gained 424 rushing yards on 107 carries for a 4.2 YPC. He did some nice work out of the backfield (33 receptions for 273 yards) but there's one glaring hole on his resume: zero touchdowns. Some of that can be explained away by Le'Ron's bogarting of the goal-line touches in '08, but Rice still should have managed at least one score on 140 touches.
Down to the Numbers
Rice's stats do show some promise. In the four games he started, he ran for 337 yards (1348 amortized over 16 games). Baltimore won't be leading the league with 37 carries per game this season (no team has attempted that many since the Steelers in '04), but also don't figure to give McClain as many carries in '09 either and Rice should be the biggest benefactor of that - he added almost 10 lbs of muscle in the off-season and has impressed coaches in OTAs and camp just by the weight lifting he did.
He showed us that he can be an every-down RB during his last two years at Rutgers. In 2006, his sophomore year, he rushed for 1,794 yards with 20 touchdowns while leading the Scarlet Knights to its third ever bowl game, and first win, in its 137-year history. In 2007, he improved his numbers across the board toting the ball 380 times for 2,012 yards along with 25 receptions for 239 yards. In his last collegiate game (International Bowl) vs. Ball State, he ran for 280 yards and four touchdowns. At least he had a nose for the goal-line in college ball.
2009 Fantasy Outlook
Rice could be the ultimate sleeper in 2009. McGahee, the feature back, hasn't played a full season in three years (due to injuries) and with Lorenzo Neal gone, McClain moves to fullback. That, coupled with the management and coaches' distaste for McGahee (who repeatedly has come to camp out of shape and/or disinterested) could see Rice be named a starter and you a genius if you can scoop him up at a value.
Rice will get significantly more carries this year than he did last year. McGahee got 11 or fewer carries in seven of the 13 games he played in last year. Rice has the body and the ability to be an every RB, and it looks like that's what the Ravens are grooming him for.
The one area that we are tempering our bullish stance on Rice is in the red-zone. He received five carries in the red-zone.... ALL SEASON! And only one inside the nine yard line. We are ranking Rice high based on his high upside. Great offensive line, McClain moving to FB, and McGahee being a perennial head case all add up to sleeper status in '09. Ray Ray has borderline RB2 status this season.
