Fantasy roundup: Ravens RB McGahee healthy, ready

Ravens RB Willis McGahee has been one of the most frustrating fantasy options in recent memory, so forgive my trepidation when he told the Baltimore Sun that he’s completely healthy and ready to challenge Ray Rice for the No. 1 spot in Baltimore.

Ravens backfield could be fantasy headache … again

Rice’s fantasy value on the rise … for now

Fantasy footballers need to remember the name of RB Ray Rice when it comes time to draft. Rice has been running with the first-team offense and is currently ahead of Willis McGahee on the Ravens’ depth chart. McGahee had been limited in workouts because of an arthroscopic procedure on his knee, but he’s getting closer to 100 percent. “I don’t feel anything in my knee,” McGahee told the Baltimore Sun. “It was just getting it stronger and ready to break long runs and make great blocks.” McGahee also said he doesn’t expect to pass Rice anytime soon. “It wouldn’t be right,” McGahee said. “I don’t mind.

Ravens RB McGahee exits after hard hit

Ravens RB Willis McGahee was carted off the field late in Sunday’s AFC Championship Game after Pittsburgh Steelers S Ryan Clark hit him hard in the helmet.

Jaguars – Ravens inactives

Ray Rice is out again, meaning that Le’Ron McClain and Willis McGahee will share carries. Hey, it worked out last week against Dallas. Receiver Derrick Mason did not practice this week, but is active and will start. Safety Ed Reed, as expected, will start.

Long runs by Ravens crush Cowboys

Three scores for Panthers RB Williams

DeAngelo Williams just scored his third 1-yard touchdown of the afternoon in what’s become a great game in Green Bay. While his yardage total (75 scrimmage) isn’t great, his three scores will make Williams a top fantasy scorer once again.

What has gotten into Heap?

Todd Heap just scored his second touchdown of the afternoon (and the season), this one on a 14-yard pass from Troy Smith. Heap now has five catches for 58 yards and the two scores.

Harbaugh … the new Shanahan?

Ray Rice starts for Ravens

Ray Rice, not Willis McGahee, started for the Ravens in their game against Houston. Also, Daunte Culpepper got the start for the Lions. He threw an interception in his first offensive series.

Tyler Thigpen, fantasy superstar?

Tyler Thigpen just scored on a 37-yard pass from Mark Bradley. Thigpen lined up as a wide receiver and hauled in the pass from Bradley on a trick play. The Coastal Carolina product now has two scores in the first half in what is becoming a blowout over the Buccaneers. Unreal.

Hightower starts over James

In a move that was rumored this week, Tim Hightower got the start ahead of Edgerrin James. The rookie is a great fantasy sleeper against the Rams. Ray Rice started ahead of Willis McGahee, but these two backs are expected to share carries against the Browns. Le’Ron McClain will also see some work out of the backfield.

Browns-Ravens inactives

Browns: WR Donte’ Stallworth, FB Lawrence Vickers, LB Beau Bell, TE Martin Rucker, G Scott Young, S Hamza Abdullah and QB Ken Dorsey (3rd).
