The Facts:
Rice is much lighter on his feet, the result of not carrying as much weight. There were a couple of times during this week's mini-camp that he showed off elusiveness in between the tackles.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley added, "It was a rare sight to see Rice fake out tacklers in the open field last year. ..." This after Rice shed nearly 20 pounds this offseason. The diminutive tailback played last season in the 215-225 range. He reported to spring workouts at roughly 205. That's a good sign -- and it confirms previous reporting, but it doesn't change the biggest 2014 concern surrounding Rice: An impending multi-game suspension that will make it difficult for fantasy football owners to make a true assessment of his value until it's resolved.
