The Facts:
The Ravens opened their first full-team offseason practice to the media on Thursday and Justin Forsett took most of the reps with the first team, although no one should read too much into that. This could easily have been a message to Rice and Lorenzo Taliaferro, both of whom were arrested this offseason.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
That makes sense. With Bernard Pierce still recovering from shoulder surgery, Forsett was the first non-legally challenged back on the roster. For what it's worth, ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley notes that Rice was noticeably slimmer and appeared to have a good burst when hitting the holes. But Forsett looked very good as well. The veteran journeyman is extremely small, but extremely fast. He displayed good hands in catching passes out of the backfield and turned upfield in a hurry. Which might be worth noting with the league
expected to suspend Rice for at least some time (some believe three games) in the wake of his off-field issues.
