Pierce, and probably more accurately the Raven's OLine, really under-performed last year and Rice is signed through 2016. Many are calling for the Saints to give Robinson a shot at starting, but who knows if that happens or what that means in their pass heavy offense. I think I'd be overpaying for Pierce, but then again, this time last year this probably would have been perceived as a great deal.
I am not big on Pierce. ...I like the upside of guys your giving...I would pass...

Pass plus a pick should not be included in this group of players IMO!
My league is a non PPR 12 person league having a roster of 19 players each. Active roster includes 1Qb 2Rb's 3Wr's 1Te 1K 1Def. Two weeks before draft we cut the roster down to 9 keepers. My team as of now:
QB Russell Wilson, EJ Manuel, Josh Mckown
RB Lamar Miller, Shane Vereen, Zac Stacy, Cierre Wood
WR AJ Green, Julio Jones, Josh Gordon, Andre Johnson, Rueben Randle, Kenny Stills
TE Z Ertz, M. Bennett, Delanie Walker
DEF Kansas City, Cleveland
K Steven Hauschka
(I'm not a expert but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!)

Thanks for the comments, that was my generally thought as well, just a little too much for a guy likely mired in a RBBC for at least 2 more years.

I guess I feel a bit different on this. Im not high on Pierce but he fills a position of need. Also I prefer Sanders over Stills especially if he lands on a team like new england.
