NFL DRAFT ROOKIE GUIDE IS NOW LIVE!
ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is expected to be disciplined by the NFL, resulting in at least a multi-game suspension. Rice is currently facing eight charges after he and another driver of a speeding car allegedly caused a crash involving a half-dozen vehicles in Dallas last month. He turned himself into police last week before being released on bond. The looming suspension for Rice could push the Chiefs, who own the No. 32 pick in this week's NFL draft, to keep a close eye on receivers in the draft. KC would have been expected to look for receiver help even before Rice's off-field troubles. They had the most drops in the league (38) in 2023. Rice was quarterback Patrick Mahomes' favorite target outside of tight end Travis Kelce last year, but his fantasy stock is going to take a hit going into 2024 with a suspension looming.

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid told reporters that he's spoken to wide receiver Rashee Rice, who will be virtual for the first phase of offseason conditioning. "I'm leaving that, like we've done most of these, for the law enforcement part to take place and then we will go from there with that," Reid said. Rice turned himself into authorities after an arrest warrant was issued stemming from a March 30 multi-car accident in which he was driving one of the cars. The 23-year-old is facing eight charges as a result of the incident that caused bodily injuries to some of the people involved. The legal process needs to play out first, but Rice's fantasy value going into the 2024 season could be hurt by the fact that the NFL could hand him a suspension to start the season. Rice was quarterback Patrick Mahomes' favorite weapon outside of tight end Travis Kelce in 2023.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has turned himself into the police following an arrest warrant being issued for his involvement in a multiple vehicle crash. Rice faces up to eight felony charges related to a collision in a street race. The young wideout owned both cars in the crash and was seen leaving the scene following the incident. There has been a $40,000 bond posted and more discipline is likely to come. There is a chance that Rice will be suspended by the Chiefs or the NFL, so missing some regular season action seems likely at this point. There should be more information on this situation as the summer rolls on.

An arrest warrant has been issued for Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice in connection with his involvement in a multi-vehicle crash in Dallas in late March. The 23-year-old is facing eight charges in the case -- six counts of collision involving bodily injury, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury, and one count of aggravated assault, according to the arrest warrant. All of the charges are felonies. Rice already acknowledged he was driving the Lamborghini SUV involved in the crash after renting the vehicle. It's good that he's cooperating with the authorities, but the NFL is closely monitoring the proceedings and will surely investigate the matter themselves after the legal situation plays out. There's a good chance Rice could be subject to a suspension by the league in 2024, which puts a cloud over his 2024 fantasy value after a strong rookie season in 2023.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is expected to have charges filed against him for his role in a multi-vehicle crash that occurred on Saturday in Dallas. The 23-year-old met with police on Wednesday, and according to sources, he admitted to driving the Lamborghini involved in the chain reaction collision. Police say they will file charges once they have collected evidence proving the extent of all the victims' injuries. The legal process will play out over the coming weeks or months, and this is certainly a situation to monitor.

Thanks to dashcam video of the incident involving Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice and a car accident on Saturday in which a Lamborghini was racing a Corvette, there is more evidence of the incident. After the accident, the video shows one man emerging from the back seat of the Lamborghini on the passenger side and two men emerging from the front seat on the passenger side. Based on photos posted by TMZ.com on Monday, including the image of Rice with family members before the incident, it looks like Rice is the second person out of the front seat on the passenger side, which would suggest he was the driver. An NFL spokesman said on Tuesday that the league is monitoring the situation, but if Rice was indeed driving, he could be facing severe charges for leaving the scene of an accident involving injuries, and it could even lead to a suspension from the NFL in 2024.
Apr 2, 2024 2:02 PM EST
It was reported by the Dallas Morning News on Saturday that police were looking for Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice following a major accident on Saturday in Dallas, Texas. A car involved in the accident was believed to be registered to or leased to Rice, and the occupants of two cars ran from the scene. On Monday, Rice's attorney Royce West released a statement saying "Rashee is cooperating with local authorities and will take all necessary steps to address this situation responsibly." As of now, there is still uncertainty about what happened and what Rice's involvement was in the situation, so it's too early to know if the 23-year-old will face discipline from the law and the NFL. This will be an ongoing development to monitor.

Police are searching for Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice in their investigation of a major accident on Saturday in Dallas, according to the Dallas Morning News. The Dallas Morning News reported that a vehicle believed to be registered to or leased to Rice was involved in a crash in northeast Dallas at around 6:20 pm local time on Saturday. A police spokeswoman said a driver in a Chevrolet Corvette and a driver in a Lamborghini were speeding and both lost control of their vehicles, with the Lamborghini hitting the median wall and causing "a chain reaction collision involving four other vehicles." The occupants of the Lamborghini and Corvette ran from the crash site. It's unclear if Rice is facing charges, and his level of involvement in the accident is also unclear, but we'll continue to monitor the developing situation.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice continued his recent muted postseason run with six catches (eight targets) for 39 yards, but his team was still able to bring home their third Super Bowl ring in the last four seasons in Sunday's 25-22 triumph over the San Francisco 49ers. After an electric performance during Super Wild Card Weekend, the 2023 second-rounder failed to reach the 50-yard marker in any of his past three playoff games. It ends a very promising rookie campaign with a bit of a whimper, but Rice cemented himself as quarterback Patrick Mahomes' No. 1 wideout this year. The Chiefs' offseason moves may have something to say regarding Rice's 2024 fantasy draft outlook, however, as it's abundantly clear they need to add a more credible downfield threat into the picture despite Mecole Hardman Jr.'s Super Bowl LVIII heroics. For now, Rice belongs in top-12 conversations at the WR position in way-too-early rankings.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice played more of a supporting role as his team eked out a 27-24 victory over the Buffalo Bills, collecting all four of his targets for 47 yards in Sunday's Divisional Round. Outproduced yardage-wise by the much-maligned Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Rice let out a far cry from his 130-yard effort in last Saturday's wild-card win. Sitting down in the defense's soft spot, Rice provided a 26-yard catch-and-run on his longest play of the evening in the first quarter with quarterback Patrick Mahomes flushed out of the pocket. The rookie second-rounder then made a tough grab in traffic in the red zone during the second period, but it was an otherwise quiet showing out of the 23-year-old wideout. Rice may not have been the focal point that he was in his last time out, but he contributed to the Chiefs' balanced attack on Sunday. He'll aim for more production in next Sunday's AFC title battle with the Baltimore Ravens.

Undeterred by the elements of the fourth-coldest game in NFL history, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice tagged a beat-up Miami Dolphins defense for an 8/130/1 line on 12 targets in last Saturday's wild-card triumph. It was a special postseason debut for the rookie second-rounder, whose ability to rack up yards after the catch from the shorter areas of the field played well in the subzero temperatures. Rice has now passed or tied the scuffling Travis Kelce in targets in each of K.C.'s last seven games, perhaps starting to solidify himself as quarterback Patrick Mahomes' new favorite weapon heading into Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. Matching up primarily with Rasul Douglas (knee) when these squads squared off in Week 14, Rice got the better of Buffalo's defense for a 7/72/1 output. Rice is the most expensive of K.C.'s skill positions while costing $6,800 on Sunday, but he's earned top-six WR1 treatment on the Divisional Round slate.
Jan 20, 2024 1:30 AM EST
Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice averaged only 3.6 air yards per catch during the regular season, which ranked last among 466 receivers with at least 900 yards in a season since at least 2006. But he set a career-high in Week 17 against the Bengals with a 7.6-yard average depth per reception and backed it up with a 6.9-yard average in the win over the Dolphins in the wild-card round. He caught three passes against Miami on passes thrown more than 10 yards past the line of scrimmage -- he made just nine such catches during the regular season. With Rice and quarterback Patrick Mahomes starting to gel down the stretch and into the postseason, it could make their offense much more explosive than it was all year long. Rice's 130 yards against the Dolphins were three more yards than the career-high he set against Cincy in Week 17.

The moment was not too big for Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice in Saturday's postseason debut, shining for eight receptions (12 targets), 130 yards, and one touchdown in the 26-7 wild-card triumph over the Miami Dolphins. It was an electric performance out of Rice, who gobbled up six of his eight passes for 92 yards in the first half and racked up 39 of them courtesy of a catch-and-run on third-and-long right before halftime. Rice made no mistake from 11 yards away for a score on K.C.'s opening drive. With Saturday's showing, the dynamic 23-year-old set a Chiefs rookie record for most receiving yards in a playoff game. Rice shared after the contest that he was fine after tweaking his ankle in the third quarter. With that said, the second-rounder's practice status will still be worth monitoring leading into next weekend's Divisional duel either in Orchard Park against the Buffalo Bills or at Arrowhead Stadium versus the Houston Texans.
Jan 14, 2024 12:21 AM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was perhaps one of fantasy's most rewarding forward-thinking holds of 2023. Though it took Rice time to carve out his featured role, he appeared to be K.C.'s most dangerous wideout long before taking the league by storm with 7.2 catches (9.3 targets) for 86.3 yards per game and three total touchdowns in his final six games. The second-rounder ranked as fantasy's overall WR8 in PPR scoring over this span, entering Saturday's playoff debut versus the Miami Dolphins with plenty of momentum. Those playing Rice in DFS will likely be relying on his third-most yards after catch (654) and seventh-most red-zone targets (22) among WRs this year. The Fins held Rice to his season worst with 17 yards in Week 9, but he was able to find the end zone in that one. Rice does most of his damage with the ball in his hands starting at or around the line of scrimmage, so forecasted windy conditions may not hamper him all that much.

After putting in three full practices this week, Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice (hamstring) was removed from the final injury report and will play on Saturday evening in his first career postseason contest against the Miami Dolphins. The 23-year-old was held out of the Week 18 win over the Los Angeles Chargers as a precaution but will return this weekend to be quarterback Patrick Mahomes' most trusted aerial weapon besides tight end Travis Kelce. Rice is reasonably priced on DraftKings this weekend at a salary of $6,600 and has one of the better matchups during wild-card weekend for a receiver going up against a Dolphins defense that has been absolutely bombarded by injuries over the last several weeks.
Jan 11, 2024 6:21 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice (hamstring) put in a second straight day with a full practice on Wednesday after the Chiefs held him out of the Week 18 regular season finale against the Los Angeles Chargers as a precaution. The 23-year-old probably could have played last week, but the Chiefs chose to hold their leading receiver out in a meaningless game. He'll return for this Saturday's wild-card contest versus the visiting Miami Dolphins and their beat up defense. Rice will be pretty attractive at his $6,600 DraftKings price as quarterback Patrick Mahomes' top target (besides Travis Kelce). The Dolphins will be without cornerback Xavien Howard (foot) and potentially two of their safeties as well for this one.
Jan 10, 2024 6:33 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice (hamstring) will not practice with the rest of the team on Wednesday, according to head coach Andy Reid. It's unclear how serious Rice's hamstring injury is, but even if it's not very serious and he's able to play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, the impressive 23-year-old pass-catcher will be a candidate to be rested. The Chiefs have locked up the No. 3 seed for the playoffs and are already going to be sitting star quarterback Patrick Mahomes for this one. Rice has emerged as KC's clear leading receiver in his first year in the NFL, but he's trending toward being a volatile fantasy option this weekend with the Chiefs having nothing to play for.
Jan 3, 2024 5:04 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice enjoyed a career day in Sunday's 25-17 win over the visiting Cincinnati Bengals, racking up the most receiving yards (127) of his rookie year. Despite his fewest receptions (five) and targets (six) since Week 11, Rice paced the Chiefs in Week 17 receiving with three times the total of their next leading receiver. Fantasy managers' eyes did not deceive them when Rice came down with just his fifth deep target of the year on a 67-yard Patrick Mahomes touch pass in the third quarter for both his and K.C.'s longest play from scrimmage of the season. The 23-year-old second-round pick will have a great opportunity to cap off an extremely encouraging Year 1 with a bang and a 1,000-yard campaign under his belt in Week 18 against the Los Angeles Chargers, who he dropped a tidy 5/60/1 receiving line on back in late October.
Jan 1, 2024 3:14 AM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has been a top-five full-PPR fantasy asset over a five-game span since Week 12, regularly offering WR1 numbers in full-PPR scoring. Rice's unique role sees him up to second in the NFL in red-zone targets (22) and yards after catch (565), but he leads the league with seven drops. Though it's clear the Chiefs don't yet trust Rice as a deep threat, the rookie second-rounder compensates for that reduction in fantasy ceiling with dynamic YAC ability and scoring prowess. Nestled into 2022's JuJu Smith-Schuster role, Rice is being peppered with 10 targets per game since Week 12. The Cincinnati Bengals are up next on Sunday, allowing the ninth-most half-PPR fantasy points to enemy WRs. Rice is locked in as a low-end WR1 in full-PPR formats and a high-end WR2 in settings that have less of an emphasis on making receptions a premium for Week 17's fantasy championship.
Dec 31, 2023 12:09 AM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice managed to keep his foot on the gas in Week 16's surprising 20-14 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, reeling in six of his 12 targets for 57 yards. While the final line is nothing to write home about, managers should be glad Rice came away with solid production on a dreadful afternoon where the Chiefs offense just couldn't kick into gear. Rice's yardage potential remains capped by K.C.'s reluctance to trust and utilize the electric 23-year-old on passing plays outside the numbers deep down the field, as evidenced by 7.8 yards per target across his past five outings. Even so, the standout rookie is supplying a PPR-friendly 7.6 catches on 10.0 targets for 78.2 yards with three total touchdowns since Week 12. Rice concludes a Year 1 fantasy season that saw him steadily rise throughout in a plus Week 17 draw versus the Cincinnati Bengals, where he will be a locked-in WR1 in full-PPR leagues.
