Ravens RB Bernard Pierce undergoing concussion protocol.

Fantasy Impact: 

Uh-oh. Depending on the severity of Pierce's concussion, he may not be cleared by Week 1, which means Lorenzo Taliaferro would get the start. Ray Rice's suspension doesn't end until Week 3. Stay tuned.

The Ravens got a preview Saturday night of what could happen in the first two weeks of the regular season. With starting running back Ray Rice suspended for the first two weeks, Bernard Pierce will be the lead dog. In the second preseason game in Dallas, Pierce showed that he can handle the load.

Pierce ran seven times for 55 yards, including a long 30-yard rumble. He looked decisive and powerful in the Ravens’ new zone run scheme and consistently picked up good yardage before breaking loose.

“[I’m preparing] exactly the same way,” Pierce said.

“The mentality that I was coached in in college and this level is next man up. If something bad were to happen, you have to be ready. If you’re not ready, the next guy’s going to be ready. It has to be done.”

Fantasy Impact: 

Pierce had a strong rookie season but than struggled last year when everyone expected a big step forward. That was at least partly due to injuries. Pierce feels strong this year, and while he'll be the Ravens RB1 for two weeks, it's two pretty touch matchups before Rice gets back in Week 3. We rank Pierce 39th, meaning he could have some deeper league value. It's obviously important to see how the Ravens use him as well.

Ray Rice injures shoulder, X-rays negative

Ravens RB Ray Rice didn't start but finally got in early in the second quarter and he immediately reeled off an 18-yard run. However, after just two carries, he went back to the sideline to have X-rays taken on his shoulder.

The X-rays were negative but Rice wasn’t expected to return to the game.

Fantasy Impact: 

Bernard Pierce got the start, one would assume because he'll start Weeks 1 and 2 while Rice is suspended. We'll have to wait to see more about Rice's shoulder but it's at least a good sign the X-rays were negative. There was no need to put Rice back in the game at that point.

There's no skill-position battle for the Ravens right now, but there could be one by the middle of September. That's when running back Ray Rice comes off his two-game suspension. The one-cut style of backup Bernard Pierce seems to be a more natural fit to Gary Kubiak stretch running scheme. If Pierce has a fast start, the Ravens may have a decision to make by Week 3.

Fantasy Impact: 

The coaches make it sound like Rice will return to a starter's role after his suspension, and we're not so sure that Pierce will be able to change their minds in two games against the Bengals and Steelers.
