| Tommy Rowan Juan Elway | “I lower than most on Foster, but he decline in almost every statistical category and his workload in 2012 have me worried.” | “Bernard Pierce looks legit and will cut into Rice's production in 2013. Rice shouldn't fall much further than this.” |
| Raju Byfield Win My Fantasy League | “I would draft Foster before Martin but always worry about the equally as talented Ben Tate and now legit 2nd option in passing game in DeAndre” | “Pierce has worked his way into a timeshare” |
 Chet GreshamThe Fake Football | “His decline in yards per carry has me worried. If he stays healthy all season he's still a lock for a top 3 finish.” | “He gets used less than I'd like now, but it does keep him fresh.” |
| Derek Lofland Fantasy Football Maniax | “Foster should still be an elite option next year as he is 27 years old and had 1424 yards rushing and 15 touchdowns. It appears he is not going to have surgery for a heart condition, which is great news.” | “Rice's fumbling issues and the emergence of Bernard Pierce have me concerned enough that I am not ranking Rice in my Top 5. He still has very good fantasy value, but I could see Pierce having more than 108 carries, 532 rushing yards and a touchdown next year.” |
| Staff Rankings FFLockerRoom | “He's so steady and reliable, sure he may give way to Ben Tate a few more times this season but wasn't that supposed to happen last year?” | “Bernard Pierce looked like a beast during the playoffs and warrants more carries, but that will only keep Rice fresh.” |
| Kyle Wachtel Forensic Fantasy | “The touches he’s afforded separates him from those below” | “Safe, surefire RB1, but B. Pierce will take small bite of pie” |
| Kevin Roberts NFL Soup | “Foster wasn't quite himself in '12, but he is still one of the most consistent and reliable options out there.” | “Rice is probably a little under valued now, and could be a solid value buy next year.” |
