Fantasy football: Expect second-half breakout by Ray Rice

The NFL season is now halfway over, and with the NFL trade deadline having come and gone, not much has changed as far as who’s playing for who. But what will change is which running backs get more carries going forward, and there’s one back to watch out for in the second-half of the season.

Baltimore Ravens RB Ray Rice has been a massive bust up to this point, but it’s because of a lack of effort or what some believe is wear and tear finally catching up to him. While injuries are a big part of why Rice has fallen short of expectations, getting healthy during the team’s bye week should help rejuvenate him and lead to him improving on his numbers, which read like a waiver-wire back at the moment.
