Rashee Rice Delivers The PPR Goods Monday

Rashee Rice Delivers The PPR Goods Monday

11 months ago

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice managed to keep his foot on the gas in Week 16's surprising 20-14 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, reeling in six of his 12 targets for 57 yards. While the final line is nothing to write home about, managers should be glad Rice came away with solid production on a dreadful afternoon where the Chiefs offense just couldn't kick into gear. Rice's yardage potential remains capped by K.C.'s reluctance to trust and utilize the electric 23-year-old on passing plays outside the numbers deep down the field, as evidenced by 7.8 yards per target across his past five outings. Even so, the standout rookie is supplying a PPR-friendly 7.6 catches on 10.0 targets for 78.2 yards per game with three total touchdowns since Week 12. Rice concludes a Year 1 fantasy season that saw him steadily rise throughout in a plus Week 17 draw versus the Cincinnati Bengals, where he will be a locked-in WR1 in full-PPR leagues.
