Rashee Rice Keeps Up Momentum Sunday

2 years ago

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice managed to maintain his climb toward the head of the receiving corps in Sunday's dazing 24-9 fall to the Denver Broncos, delivering four catches (five targets) for 56 yards. Rice tried to wake up a dormant Chiefs first half with an exhilarating 39-yard catch-and-run in the second quarter, but the offense had to settle for a field goal later that drive. Week 8 ultimately wasn't a significant step forward or backward for the 2023 second-rounder, but he offered a usable fantasy outcome in a stonewalled offense nonetheless. The Chiefs and Miami Dolphins could put on an offensive showcase during Week 9's must-see game in Germany, where Rice should remain an upside, if mid-tier WR3/flex. K.C.'s possible trade deadline transactions could bolster or undermine the 23-year-old's rest-of-season outlook, though, depending largely upon if they swing a deal for a household name at wideout.
