#41-2012 Ray Rice RB Baltimore Ravens Rice is one of the best running backs and is a top 10 pick in everyone’s mock draft.  Rice won the Super Bowl but his best play of the season was his catch and run on 4th and 29 against the San Diego Chargers. Rice gained over 1,500 yards from scrimmage and 10 touchdowns. He’s a threat every time he touches the ball and a fantasy star for years to come.

Retro #41– 2002 Jamal Lewis RB Baltimore Ravens- Lewis ran for over 1,200 yards and 6 touchdowns in 2002, but his biggest season was in 2003 when he passed the 2,000 yard plateau. Lewis was a quality fantasy running back for the Ravens though 2008.

Looking Ahead- #41

ESPN– N/A We already mentioned him no reason to belabor the point. (List created in June)

CBS– Montee Ball- RB Denver Bronocs- Ball will have the chance to be #1 but like Bell he has to be able to block in a passing offense to see the playing field.  Pre-season will be huge for Ball’s playing time in 2013!
