Rice secured five of seven targets for 49 yards in the Chiefs' 35-12 win over the Jets on Sunday.
Rice led the Chiefs in targets while finishing as the runner-up in both receptions and receiving yards. The veteran receiver has been busy the last two games while turning 15 targets into a 12-102-1 line, but he has just one catch of 20-plus yards in that span. Rice is averaging a relatively modest 11.7 yards per catch heading into a Week 10 road matchup against the Falcons.
Rice (hamstring/knee) practiced without limitations Thursday.
Rice is off the injury report Thursday after kicking off Week 9 prep with a limited session Wednesday. The oft-injured wide receiver has been limited to five appearances this season, one of which he left before recording a catch, but he has 20 catches for 243 yards and two touchdowns across the other four games. With Rice getting healthier, he could feast Sunday against a Jets defense that's allowing 30.7 points per game during an active three-game losing streak.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Rice (hamstring/knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Rice got back in the fold in Week 8 to the tune of an 7-53-1 line after missing time with a hamstring injury, and he is limited to start preparation for the Jets. The Chiefs could be exercising caution with their top receiver, who also rehabbed from knee surgery during the offseason. A limited session Wednesday does not mean his Week 9 status is in jeopardy, but his participation over the coming days will be telling.
Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Finds end zone in Week 8 return
Rotowire
Rice caught seven of eight targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Broncos.
Making his return from a two-game absence due to a hamstring strain, Rice made an immediate impact when he caught an 11-yard TD from Patrick Mahomes in the first quarter for Kansas City's first points of the afternoon. The fourth-year wideout nearly had the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds of the fourth as well, but the play was wiped out by a false start penalty. In five appearances that season, one of which lasted just six snaps, Rice has put together a 20-243-2 line on 25 targets. He'll look to build on Sunday's performance in a Week 9 clash with the Jets.
