Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As PFT's Gregg Rosenthal notes, Rice was one of the biggest names on the free agent market last year. He was seen as a big-time risk because of injuries, but he still scored a huge deal from the Seahawks. But he did little to shed the injury-prone label. In addition to his shoulder problems, Rice also struggled with a knee injury during the season and he finished the year on injured reserve with a concussion. He wound up only playing nine games during the season with 484 yards. While the Seahawks have to hope Rice will return at full strength, Fantasy owners should set their expectations accordingly.
