I was offered Sidney Rice in a trade. I immediately rejected the idea thinking he is just a poor man's Brandon Marshall or some such thing. Then I got to thinking about it a little bit. He is only 26 years old right now. Just entering his prime. He's got a rifle armed quarterback, is on a rushing based playoff caliber team that recently acquired Percy Harvin....wait read that again...is this 2013 or 2009? Are the stars lining up for Rice once again?
It seems crazy but this might be exactly what is happening. FBG currently has Rice in the mid 40s as a WR. I would imagine this is a pretty common opinion but it would seem that if the stars line up for Rice, he might just push his way right back into fantasy prominence. I think Harvin might be the key here. He is >>>>>>>> than Golden Tate or anyone else that played that slot position. They have Lynch, Turbin, and now Michael so the rushing game appears to be about as injury resistant as any in the league. They'll keep rushing the ball and forcing teams to respect that.
With Harvin causing all kinds of problems in the mid and short game, it stands to reason that Rice will be one on one deep a lot. Wilson definitely has the arm and deep throw ability. Am I dreaming here or is this kind of a perfect storm for Rice?
