Rashee Rice Tries To Break Out In Cushy Draw

Rashee Rice Tries To Break Out In Cushy Draw

one year ago

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice looks to be on the precipice of a breakout, but there's a few hurdles to climb. Rice has 28 targets on 87 routes run, which is good for an elite 32.2% target rate. The 23-year-old has also shown plenty of explosiveness with 2.82 yards per route run. Rice even has a healthy seven red-zone targets. The 2023 second-rounder continues to work in a rotation with a litany of Chiefs receivers, however, struggling to consistently command quarterback Patrick Mahomes' attention on a 12.7% target share. Rice's 5.4 average yards of target distance is also lacking. Though Justin Watson's (elbow) absence should free up some snaps, Rice remains a volatile WR4/flex in Week 7 versus the Los Angeles Chargers. The matchup is certainly mouthwatering, though, as the Bolts have been crushed for the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing WRs (45.30) this year.
