The Facts:
Chip Scoggins of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune asked Rice about his knee, which troubled Rice for much of the 2008 season. (In fact, he suffered a sprained posterior cruciate ligament Sept. 14.) Rice: "It's getting better. I can really tell that it's getting better. I'm not 100 percent yet."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert wrote: "Not 100 percent yet? Yikes." Remember: We're talking about a guy still recovering from an injury that occurred eight months ago and didn't require surgery. ... Although his contributions have come primarily as a red-zone specialist, Seifert believes Rice could win the starting job opposite Bernard Berrrian -- if healthy. The fact he's not there yet is a concern.
