Hightower or McGahee for Rice? (WHIR)

[bulldogfoxx]

After a crazy week 1, it might be to early to worry about bye weeks and roster adjustments, but... should I pick up Tim Hightower or Willis McGahee and drop Ray Rice in a PPR league?

Current RB's C Johnson, K Smith & R Rice all have week 7 byes and Ward has a week 8 bye. McGahee would not help the bye situation but is he a better option than Rice or was the first game a fantasy points a fluke.

Hightower has a week 4 bye and even though he had little in the rushing department he was a PPR dream in week 1. Question is will it continue or will the ARI offense get back on track with on Fitz & Boldon producing quality numbers?

Hold on to rice. He is a def do not drop in ppr. Trade him maybe, but his value will only go up in the coming weeks I think.

Do not drop Rice by any means. I wouldnt pick up McGahee. It was kinda a fluke. Rice is obviously there no. 1 back. And the Ravens mite be saving him for later when it comes to goal line carries.
