The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Rice was indicted today on one count of aggravated assault. The charge carries a 3-5 year prison term.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
That prison term, of course, only comes into play if Rice is actually convicted of that charge, which stems from
a February arrest following an altercation with his Rice’s fiancée. The fact that there's
ample video-taped evidence of the crime (video that even GM Ozzie Newsome admits
doesn't look good) won't work in his favor, but he is innocent until proven guilty. And HC John Harbaugh recently said Rice is working hard to
make things right. ... Meanwhile, we'll remind you that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell told reporters this week he'd be
following the case closely. It's safe to assume fantasy football owners will be doing the same. League discipline is certainly possible. And now it appears prison is, too. ... Stay tuned.
