    If you make this trade, it is very likely that you are selling Rice at a low point. I generally do not like to trade away a guy right after some bad news breaks. Everyone seems to be clamoring for Rice's head on a spike, but the Ravens have said they aren't cutting him. He is still fairly young and his terrible performance last year had more to do with the rest of the team than his ability, IMO. As a member of the New Orleans receiving armada, Stills' upside is inherently limited. They just drafted a WR in the 1st round who will probably be the "Possession" guy. Stills will likely be the "Deep Shot Guy", which will make him very unpredictable in terms of sit/start decisions.

    Rice's value has already plummeted. You really aren't risking that much more if you hold onto him. If he ends up going to jail, his value doesn't have that much further to fall before it hits zero. On the other hand, if all of this clears up and he is the Ravens starting RB in week 1, he will be a solid RB2 in fantasy and can land you a hell of a lot more value than Kenny Stills.

    Completely agree here. The only receivers that have ever really put up consistent fantasy numbers with Brees seem to be his #1 WR. The other guys are all over the place most of the time. Big game here, nothing there. Stills will have big play ability but will be too inconsistent to justify trading a potential RB2, even with the off field issues

    Not to mention Stills won't be nearly as useful in a PPR league since he's a big play guy. Whereas Rice catches about a million passes out of the backfield every season. give or take a reception or two

    I don't like it. I think there are many receivers that you could find a Kenny Stills level receiver on the waiver wire, so you won't really gain anything from this trade.

    I re-read that, the grammar is awful. Basically, there are many Kenny Stills level receivers so I wouldn't do it

    Ahhh. I still don't really like it, I just think Rice is worth a bit more than that. Stills would be your 4th WR, but I think Rice isn't that far behind CJ2K, Moreno and Bell - any of the 4 could be your RB2

    I'll admit I'm not entirely up to speed with the fallout from the elevator incident though...

    ya i feel like he just had his worst season and is probably on his decline and i think the same goes for colston. i was thinking stills could be the guy to step it up in new orleans with lance moore gone and sproles gone. and i dont really need 5 rbs and could use a good back up wr
