Rice and, Janay Palmer, whom he married in March, got into a physical altercation on Feb. 15 at a New Jersey casino. As the Sun notes, should Rice be convicted of aggravated assault, Rice could face jail time. However, as a first-time offender, Rice could potentially avoid that outcome through a diversionary program. Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti and HC John Harbaugh have both said that Rice will remain with the team. The NFL is monitoring the legal developments in Rice's case, and a suspension and/or a fine are potential punishments. Fantasy football owners will want to watch for more on that last angle as we move forward.
