Bernard Berrian vs Sidney Rice

**vikingivan** · 03-12-2008, 12:05 PM

Will Berrian be drafted ahead of Rice in your fantasy football league?
Or vice versa?
Which rounds do you think they will go in?
I believe Rice has better potential, but Berrian is a little more proven.
I think I would pick Rice ahead of Berrian.
Agree or disagree.

neither will go high in fantasy drafts..the guy throwing the ball to them is still a total unknown, so regardless of how well these guys play, their numbers might stink with jackson throwing for 75 yards in games again

They will both go in the later rounds.
That is a fact.

Depends on the league.
I am in a 12 person team where most teams carry 4 WRs, so I could see them both going.
But not until later rounds IMHO.

Good point Paul.
I play in a 16 team league were each teams must either start 3 WR's or 2 and a TE.
The question was not when they will get drafted, but who will be drafted ahead of the other.

il probably look to pick up berrian because of his big play ability..im sure he will be there for me to take as a backup in one of the last rounds of the draft..my league starts 3 WR, 1 TE

its nothing against rice, i just feel we arent gonna score a ton of passing TDs again, and i think berrian is gonna get more yardage, which will make him a little more valuable

Ah, gotcha.

OK, in that case, I would actually take Rice.
It is a bit of a gamble, but I see Rice as more of an endzone threat.
If you league awards high points for yardage though, Berrian would be better.

Tough call, I will go with Berrian, he has a better track record and though I think Rice has the potential to be a superstar, I think it will be a couple of years be for he really starts putting up numbers.

If I get the number 1 overall I will probably have to take Peterson. Anyone agree/disagree?

Agree.
Not even with purple shades on.
The league I play in is skewed towards RBs anyway.

I don't know, I would probably take Longwell over Peterson.

As much as I like our WR's this year, I don't think I would select any of them in the draft unless the only thing that was left are Bears WR's.
;D
