Player Outlook
A year after taking Skyy Moore with the 54th pick in the 2022 draft, the Chiefs selected Rice with the 55th pick in 2023. The best format for drafting Rice is in rookie-only drafts of Dynasty leagues, where you don't have to be as concerned with him picking up Andy Reid's offense early in the year because not many rookies have. In that format, Rice is worth a Round 2 pick. In redraft, and he's a very late dart throw at best. The expectation is that he'll enter the season as WR4 at best, and there is a chance he is behind Justin Watson to begin the year as well. Once he is fully acclimated, Rice is the closest thing the Chiefs have to a traditional X receiver and could be the long-term answer there.

  • Chiefs' Rashee Rice: WRs to Start

    Rice finally had the breakout game we were all waiting for in Week 12 at Las Vegas with eight catches for 107 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets. It was his fifth touchdown of the season, but everything else was a career-high for the rookie. I hope it's a sign of things to come, and I'm willing to start Rice as a No. 2 Fantasy receiver in all leagues against the Packers. If Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid are starting to trust Rice then Fantasy managers should as well, and Green Bay has allowed three receivers in the past two games (Keenan Allen, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Kalif Raymond) to score at least 14.6 PPR points.

  • Chiefs' Rashee Rice: First 100-yard game of career

    Rice finished with eight receptions for 107 yards and a touchdown off of 10 targets in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Raiders. Rice put it all together for his best performance as a pro against the Raiders on Sunday. The second-round rookie finished as the Chiefs' leading receiver while recording the first game with 100 or more receiving yards of his career. Rice was already separating himself from the pack as star quarterback Patrick Mahomes' No. 2 option behind Travis Kelce prior to Sunday's breakout, so make sure Rice isn't sitting on the fantasy waiver wire as Kansas City prepares to face Green Bay next Sunday.

  • Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Four catches in losing effort

    Rice secured four of five targets for 42 yards in the Chiefs' 21-17 loss to the Eagles on Monday night. Rice finished third in receptions, receiving yards and targets during another serviceable yet unremarkable performance. The rookie is up to a 36-420-4 line through 10 games, numbers that arguably qualify as above average in a passing attack that is notorious for spreading the wealth among its deep group of skill-position assets. Rice has at least four grabs in five of the last six contests heading into a Week 12 road divisional clash versus the Raiders.

  • Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Sleeper WRs

    Rice comes off his bye in Week 10 with a fantastic matchup in Week 11 against the Eagles, who are No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers. There have been 18 receivers to score at least 12.3 PPR points against Philadelphia this year, and Patrick Mahomes will hopefully start to lean more on Rice moving forward to help Kansas City's passing game. Prior to the bye, Rice had scored at least 11.2 PPR points in three of his past five games, with three touchdowns over that span, and I like him as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues against the Eagles.

  • Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Salvages day with TD

    Rice caught both his targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Dolphins. The receiving yards were his lowest of the season, but the rookie wideout still made an impact by taking a screen pass from Patrick Mahomes for an 11-yard TD in the first quarter. Rice has three of his four touchdowns on the season in the last five games as he emerges as Mahomes' most reliable option not named Travis Kelce, and his target volume could begin to rise coming out of Kansas City's Week 10 bye.

  • Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Sleeper WRs

    Rice had a down game in Week 8 at Denver with four catches for 56 yards on five targets, and his 9.6 PPR points snapped a three-game streak where he scored at least 11.2 PPR points. I'm expecting him to get back on track against the Dolphins in what should be a high-scoring affair in Germany. All the Chiefs struggled against the Broncos, so we can throw that game out. Rice should be considered a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues, and look for Patrick Mahomes to keep involving him as a significant piece of this high-powered offense.

  • Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Sit Him (Lineup Decisions)

    A case could be made for Rice to see an uptick in targets because Mahomes will likely have to throw short, which is how Rice has been used. But Rice isn't yet good enough to make multiple plays against quality coverage, something the Dolphins should have going for them with their secondary healthy. Rice remains an end-zone threat, but Mahomes' own track record against Fangio-coached defenses isn't strong enough to feel good about starting anyone in Kansas City's offense except Kelce. Assume Rice will finish with around 10 PPR points, a number Demario Douglas, Jahan Dotson and Michael Thomas should beat.

  • Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Finishes second in yards for KC

    Rice caught four of five targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 24-9 loss to Denver. Rice finished second in receiving for the Chiefs behind Travis Kelce (6-58-0) in a rare game during which star quarterback Patrick Mahomes failed to throw a touchdown pass and turned the ball over three times. The rookie wideout is proving to be a reliable target with a 77 percent catch rate through eight weeks. Rice's production has gradually increased as he earns more of his quarterback's trust with each passing week, making him an upside play heading into a potential shootout against Miami in Germany next Sunday.

  • Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Sleeper WRs

    We said last week that Rice was on the verge of a breakout, and he had a standout outing in Week 7 against the Chargers with five catches for 60 yards and a touchdown on six targets. He's now scored at least 13.3 PPR points in two of his past three games, and he played a season-high 59 percent of the snaps against the Chargers, which shows that Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid are starting to trust him more. He had four catches for 72 yards on four targets against Denver in Week 6, and Rice should be considered a quality No. 3 Fantasy receiver in the rematch this week.

  • Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Sneaky Sleeper (Lineup Decisions)

    It remains reasonable to expect a modest floor from Rice, even if Watson ends up coming back. Rice has been trending in the right direction for the past few weeks and should keep working toward becoming the Chiefs' top wide receiver. He's worth trotting out as a WR3 with 12-point PPR potential ahead of Diontae Johnson, Tank Dell and Jerry Jeudy.

  • Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Another touchdown in Week 7 win

    Rice brought in five of six targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 31-17 win over the Chargers on Sunday. The rookie continued his recent ascension, scoring his second touchdown in three game on a six-yard grab just before the midway point of the second quarter. Rice also eclipsed the 50-yard mark through the air for the second straight week while pushing his reception total over the last three games to a solid 13 catches. Rice's numbers are especially encouraging in the context of a Chiefs offense that spreads the ball around to a robust amount of players, and he'll look to keep the momentum going in a Week 8 road battle versus the Broncos.

  • Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Sleeper WRs

    I hope the addition of Mecole Hardman doesn't ruin the upside for Rice, who is starting to emerge as the best receiver for the Chiefs. He comes into Week 7 against the Chargers having scored at least 11.2 PPR points in each of his past two games, and he could be a sneaky No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues in this matchup. The Chargers are No. 2 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and nine receivers have scored at least 11.2 PPR points against Los Angeles this year. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the breakout game for Rice in Week 7 at home.

  • Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Sneaky Sleeper (Lineup Decisions)

    It's reasonable to expect a modest floor from Rice in what should be a moderately high-scoring game. He may be able to exceed 10 PPR points, though 15 might be too much to ask. In a pinch he works as a WR3 worth taking a chance on over Josh Palmer, Michael Thomas and Tutu Atwell.

  • Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Encouraging numbers in Week 6 win

    Rice brought in all four targets for 72 yards in the Chiefs' 19-8 win over the Broncos on Thursday night. Rice finished second in receiving yards on the night for the Chiefs with a figure that was also his best over the first six games of his career. The speedy rookie has been fairly consistent in a passing game that runs first and foremost through Travis Kelce and often spreads the ball around pretty widely otherwise, recording at least three receptions in all but one contest and snagging a pair of touchdowns. Rice has logged five or more targets on four occasions as well, giving him plenty of momentum going into a Week 7 home divisional battle versus the Chargers on Sunday, Oct. 22.

  • Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Week 6 Waiver Priority List

    Rice is still not running enough routes or playing enough snaps to warrant starting him in any Fantasy leagues, but there's plenty of potential there, which is why you want to stash him in all leagues for 5 percent of your FAB. He caught his second touchdown of the season in Week 5 at Minnesota, and the Chiefs are desperate for someone to step up at receiver this year. I like Rice better than Skyy Moore, Kadarius Toney and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and I hope Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid start to use Rice more as the year goes on.

  • Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Grabs TD in Week 5 win

    Rice caught four of five targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Vikings. The rookie wideout was on the other end of an eight-yard TD strike from Patrick Mahomes early in the third quarter to break open a 13-13 halftime tie. It's the second score of Rice's career so far, but the 2023 second-round pick still has yet to reach 60 receiving yards in a game as Mahomes continues to spread the ball around. Rice could hit paydirt again in Week 6 against a Broncos secondary that's already given up six TDs to wide receivers through five games.

  • Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Stashes (WR Preview)

    Rice is inching closer to Fantasy relevance, but he's also had a terrible time with drops. This one could legitimately go either way, but no other receiver is doing anything to keep him off the field. Assuming the drops go away, Rice could be a full-time player and a top-20 Fantasy wide receiver in the second half.
