Ray Rice practicing despite hip pointer, fantasy value not in jeopardy
Ray Rice practiced Wednesday for the Ravens despite suffering a hip pointer on Sunday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Rice has once again been one of the most productive players in the league this season. He ranks fifth in the league with 1,427 yards from scrimmage this season. He is in a tie for eighth place with nine total touchdowns.
Fantasy Impact: Rice might be dealing with a bit of discomfort, and his offensive coordinator was just fired, but neither of these things should affect his fantasy value much. Jim Caldwell isn’t expected to change the offense overnight from what Cam Cameron ran, and Rice has been good about playing through injuries in the past.
Rice should remain in your starting lineup this week, despite a potentially tough matchup against the Denver Broncos. He should continue to see plenty of touches to produce for fantasy owners.
