Rashee Rice Establishing Himself As Chiefs' WR1
12 months ago

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice set modest season highs in snap share (70.1%), route participation (72.2%), and catches (eight) in last Sunday night's loss to the Green Bay Packers. It's a sign that while Rice's role has yet to expand beyond the short and intermediate levels of the field (two 2023 deep targets), he's receiving high-percentage looks at or around the line of scrimmage to maximize his yards-after-catch prowess (fourth among WRs with 422 YAC). The Chiefs simply haven't exhibited any level of trust to turn the second-round rookie loose down the field for a full complement of routes despite the bungling deep threats surrounding him, perhaps likely in part because of Rice's six drops in Year 1. Unlikely to get the proper looks to break through the WR3 fantasy barrier and enter the WR2 rung, Rice is a high-floor FLEX across all formats as the preferred wideout for two-time MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
