Ravens cut RB Ray Rice

The Ravens have cut RB Ray Rice.

Fantasy Impact: 

Wetzel was told that one factor was his version of what happened didn't match with video, which was released Sunday night, apparently showing Rice punching his then-fiance in an elevator. So, it appears that the outrage over the video has resulted in the release. The initial fantasy reaction is that this is now Bernard Pierce’s show, but the team didn’t show a whole lot of confidence in Pierce when they benched him after he lost a fumble against the Bengals. Still, that was an in-game situation and now that Rice is out of the picture, we have to expect that Pierce will be given every chance to carry the load. He looked good in camp and multiple sources have said that he’s a great fit for Gary Kubiak’s zone-blocking scheme. Justin Forsett should continue to have a big role, especially in the passing game, while rookie Lorenzo Taliaferro (who did not get a single touch in Week 1) will try to work his way into the mix.

NFL Beat: Ray Rice could get cut after video release

Texting with team officials around NFL, they predict Ravens will cut Ray Rice. "Have to." Not sure anyone would pick him up.

Fantasy Impact: 

A video surfaced overnight of Rice apparently punching his then-fiance in a hotel elevator. Rice was suspended for two games for the incident and was scheduled to come back Week 3. For owners, this is obviously something to monitor. From a fantasy point, the Ravens RB situation is a mess right now after Bernard Pierce was benched for a fumble. Justin Forsett took over as the lead back and it remains to be seen who gets the start in a short week against the Steelers Thursday night in what now looks like a good matchup. Lorenzo Taliaferro could also be in the mix for carries as well.

Ravens RB Bernard Pierce (concussion, probable) took full practice reps all week and is probable for Week 1. Pierce is ready to carry the load in a tough matchup against the Bengals with Ray Rice sidelined due to suspension. Lorenzo Taliaferro and Justin Forsett will serve as change-of-pace backs.

Ravens Beat: Look for RB Bernard Pierce to 'get a lot of touches' in Week 1

Bernard Pierce is completely recovered from a concussion suffered during the preseason and is ready to handle the Ravens' starting running back job for the next two weeks, a team official said. Pierce is perfectly suited for Gary Kubiak's one-cut system because he is big enough to run between the tackles and has the quickness to hit the holes. The one question mark is Pierce's vision, as he doesn't always hit the right lanes. The Ravens will look to establish the run early, even though the Bengals were one of the top run defenses in the league last year. Everything stems from setting up the run in Kubiak's offense, a team official noted. Look for Pierce to get a lot of touches.

Fantasy Impact: 

With Ray Rice out, Pierce should be the workhorse for the Ravens in Week 1. The matchup against the Bengals is not favorable, however.
