Rashee Rice Dominates Targets In Sunday's Loss

Rashee Rice Dominates Targets In Sunday's Loss

12 months ago

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice remained heavily involved in Week 13's 27-19 defeat to the Green Bay Packers, racking up a team-high eight catches on nine targets for 64 yards. Rice was tackled just shy of the goal line on a four-yard gain in the third quarter before tailback Isiah Pacheco punched it in for a touchdown on the ensuing play. Rice nearly lost a costly fumble during K.C.'s final drive, but it was overruled upon further review. It was still very encouraging to see the Chiefs scheme the ball into Rice's hands and feature him early and often, with the rookie wideout even drawing a pass interference penalty in the fourth quarter and a dominant 30% target share overall. Rice's playmaking may finally be receiving well-deserved recognition by the coaching staff, and the 23-year-old should find himself firmly situated along fantasy's WR3 line with WR2 upside in a potential shootout with the Buffalo Bills in Week 14.
