Rashee Rice Red-Hot Heading Into Week 16

Rashee Rice Red-Hot Heading Into Week 16

11 months ago

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has become a full-time weapon, playing a career-high 90.3% of the team's offensive snaps last Sunday. Rice has also experienced a bump in high-value looks, commanding 10 red-zone targets in his four-game surge since Week 11. In these four post-Thanksgiving outings, Rice checks in as fantasy's overall WR3 with 32 catches for 334 yards and three touchdowns over this hot streak. Only superstars CeeDee Lamb and Deebo Samuel have scored more points across this stretch. Rice arrived with a career-high 107 yards when he met the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12, taking a 39-yard pass to the house. Rice's splash plays remain dependent on his catch-and-run prowess (527 YAC this year) with just 4.3 yards of average target distance. Rice has earned his spot on fantasy's WR1/2 border for Week 16, with Las Vegas' zone-heavy coverage rate (80%) likely working to his benefit on screen plays.
