Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice is dealing with a strained hip flexor and is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. Rice had been labeled a game-time decision with the injury, but Aaron Wilson is reporting Rice could miss up to two games with the injury. He sustained the injury in Week 2 against the Cleveland Browns, going down in the second half and not returning after limping off the field.

He hasn't practiced this week, though he did overcome his limp on Wednesday and has been on the road to recovery since then. This news means Bernard Pierce will get the bulk of the touches from the running back position.
Fantasy Impact: Although the team has not officially ruled Rice out, it seems highly unlikely he would suddenly play Sunday. As such, one can expect Bernard Pierce to get a lot of touches, and if you happen to have him as a fantasy handcuff, he should be started. Either way, Rice in not an option this week.
