OK. Here it goes
PPR league.
I’m set except for my #2 RB
Do I start Ray Rice vs. Cin or Reggie Bush vs. Tampa ??

Right there with you buddy. Hopefully we'll get some more concerete news on McGahee soon but it's still a toughy. I've been flipping back and forth between Bush & Rice in my flex spot. Honestly both look good. Bush will get his catches and some carries but if Rice is named the starter and McGahee is completely out, Rice will get significantly more carries with some delicious catches to boot. The only thing that would keep him from going completely off is if the Ravens start getting crushed and they have to go to the air abandoning him in the process. I honestly don't know how good the TB run D is either but I do know that the Cincy run D doesn't make me quiver. On the other hand if the TB pass defense is too much for NO, maybe they'll rely more on the running game. Who knows. Good question.

Wait and see at this point I guess. If McGahee doesn’t start I’m leaning towards Rice at this point. Tampa scares me a little.

Yup, that's what I'm doing. I'm also leaning towards Rice and if McGahee is deemed out, I think it'll tip the scales. Be kinda nice to pop a dude like Rice on somebody in week 1 and have him go off. People will think you're the balls. Good luck with your decision.

Bengals overall defense ranked #6 worst. Bucs didn't fall in the bottom ten for what it's worth. Saints ranked 7th worst. Brees will pass.

Some new news on McGahee via Rotoworld.
Ravens RB Willis McGahee (knee surgery) and CB Chris McAlister (knee) returned to practice Monday.
“I wouldn’t say he’s 100 percent just [from] watching him run around out there,” coach John Harbaugh said of McGahee. Be sure to track his progress throughout the week as it's too early to tell if he or Ray Rice will get the start against the Bengals. Expect Rice to see significant action in the opener even if McGahee does go.
Makes the decision a bit more challenging eh. Looks like we might have to wait to make a definitive choice. He will get plenty of work though but it still gets Reggie some more consideration.

Thanks. I'm leaning back towards Reggie Now and most likely will stay there.

Yup me too. Honestly I don't think we could go wrong either way though. Still open to Rice but we'll see how the week plays out with McTurd.
