Fantasy football has transformed the way that fans watch the NFL. Fans no longer simply follow their favorite teams but they closely monitor the players on their fantasy teams as well. Ray Rice was a top fantasy draft pick in most leagues and the heart of many fantasy football players teams.
Rice was injured at one point on Sunday and that led to a wave of nasty tweets from fantasy football players around the country. He finished the game with 13 yards for 36 carries, that brings his season total up to 72 yards on 25 carries and 1 touchdown.

Rice was scheduled to have an MRI today on his hip.
“We’re confident and optimistic right now,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said, via the Baltimore Sun. “We’ll have to see how he responds.”
