The schedule gets easier as far as opposing run defenses go. The Ravens will play the Chicago Bears in Weeks 11 and Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 13 and New England Patriots when the fantasy playoff spots are up for grabs. The Bears and Steelers both rank among the league’s worst in fantasy points allowed to running backs.

Then in Week 16 when a lot of league’s have their championship, they’ll face the New England Patriots who have given up 100 or more rushing yards to opposing RBs in six of their eight games.

Don’t make the mistake of trading Rice if you have him, and be that guy who get’s him at a bargain price if someone is willing to trade him.
