Rashee Rice: Rashee Rice Out for Sunday Against Chargers

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that wide receiver Rashee Rice (hamstring) is out for Sunday's Week 6 game against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers, according to Nate Taylor of ESPN. Rice suffered a hamstring injury in the Week 4 win over the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders, but despite having a bye last week to recover, the Chiefs do not want to put him out there this weekend. The 26-year-old's absence will open up more targets for receiver Xavier Worthy and veteran tight end Travis Kelce against the winless Chargers. Rice's absence is very disappointing for fantasy managers, but hopefully he can return to practice next week and be back for a Week 7 showdown against the Seattle Seahawks. He has been relatively quiet despite the team's 5-0 start in 2026, catching 13 of his 17 targets for 190 yards and just one touchdown in four games played. In deeper fantasy leagues this weekend, rookie Cyrus Allen, who generated a lot of fantasy buzz during the preseason, could be in consideration as a flex play against the Bolts with Rice out.
