Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was held in check by the Houston Texans in last week's loss. The Chiefs WR1 caught four passes for 34 yards, finishing third on the team in receiving yardage. Despite his lackluster performance, Rice still finished with a team-high eight targets, demonstrating the team's determination to keep him involved. The 26-year-old may once again struggle to find success this week against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers defense is allowing the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season, making them one of the most difficult matchups at the position. Rice has been the team's focal point on offense since his return, so he should continue to be heavily involved despite the matchup. Rice was also listed on the injury report with a hamstring injury this week, but was a full participant in every practice and does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game. Rice is ranked WR4 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a top-end WR1 option again this week despite his recent struggles.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice caught eight passes for 92 yards and two touchdowns in the 28-31 loss to Dallas on Thanksgiving. Rice has been the focal point of Kansas City's offense since his return from suspension and has been virtually matchup-proof outside of a down game against Denver, where he caught six passes for 38 yards. The Broncos made it a point to slow down Rice, and the same treatment could be coming his way in Week 14 against a tough Houston defense. The Texans have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Despite the matchup, Rice should still be given a heavy dose of targets in what could be a must-win game for Kansas City. Rice was also dealing with a hamstring injury this week, but practiced in full Wednesday through Friday, so he has no injury designation for this week's matchup. Rice is ranked WR4 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a must-start option despite facing one of the strongest defenses in the NFL.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was a limited participant in Monday's practice with a hamstring injury, but followed that up with back-to-back full practices on Tuesday and Wednesday. Rice does not have an injury designation heading into Thursday and should continue being a target hog in the Chiefs offense. Rice is coming off a great game in Week 11, where he caught eight passes for 141 yards in their win over the Indianapolis Colts. The 25-year-old was the only player on the Chiefs to earn double-digit targets in last week's contest. Rice's success should continue on Thursday against the Cowboys, who have allowed the most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Rice should feast in this week's matchup, and he has a good chance of finding the endzone because he's scored four times in five games this season. Rice is ranked WR3 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him one of the best options at the position this week.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice (hamstring) practiced in full capacity on Tuesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. Rice was upgraded to a full participant after being estimated as limited in Monday's walk-through. The 25-year-old tweaked his hamstring during Kansas City's Week 12 win over the Colts and had his lowest snap share in a game (62.5%) since returning from suspension in Week 7, but it didn't stop him from posting a career high 141 yards and the first 100-yard game by a Chief this season. The injury shouldn't concern any fantasy managers after a full practice on Tuesday, and Rice should feast again in a potential shootout against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving.
Nov 25, 2025 5:06 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice (hamstring) is expected to participate in Tuesday's practice, according to Nate Taylor of ESPN. Rice was estimated as limited in Monday's estimated injury report and appears to have avoided a serious injury that would force him to miss any time. The 25-year-old dominated in Kansas City's critical Week 12 win over the Indianapolis Colts, catching eight of 12 targets for a career-high 141 yards. Rice has been as advertised since returning from a six-game suspension in Week 7, scoring the fourth most PPR points (99.2) in that span, only trailing Jaxon Smith-Njigba, George Pickens, and Davante Adams. With Rice expected to play on Thanksgiving against a poor Dallas Cowboys secondary, he will again rank as an elite WR1 and should be in for another big day as Patrick Mahomes' favorite target.
Nov 25, 2025 1:19 PM EST
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that the Kansas City Chiefs listed wide receiver Rashee Rice (hamstring) as limited on Monday on their estimated injury report with a hamstring issue. Rice is a little banged up coming out of Sunday's overtime win against the Indianapolis Colts, making his status for Thursday's Thanksgiving Day game against the Dallas Cowboys worth monitoring. The 25-year-old was heavily involved in KC's game plan in Week 12, catching eight of his 12 targets for a season-high 141 yards, although he was unable to find paydirt. Xavier Worthy (ankle) was also listed as limited, but we expect both pass-catchers to be active in Dallas this week. As long as Rice is active in Week 13, he should be considered a must-start in fantasy lineups, especially against a porous Dallas secondary. Rice scored three touchdowns in his first two games, but he is now on a three-game touchdown drought. If active, Rice could feast on Thursday.
Nov 24, 2025 7:59 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice basically carried the Chiefs' receiving game during Sunday's contest against the Indianapolis Colts. Rice was held in check for 38 yards last week, but managed to break out this weekend. He hauled in eight of his 12 targets for 141 yards and was held without a score in the overtime victory. He led the team in targets, receptions, and receiving yards during this game. Fantasy managers who stuck with Rice through his suspension are getting great results now. He should once again be an elite option in a favorable matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 13.
Nov 23, 2025 6:31 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice will take on the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12. Rice struggled to find success against the vaunted Denver defense in last week's loss. Rice caught six passes for 38 yards on nine targets in Week 11. The good news is he finished second on the team in targets, and he should continue being a target hog this week against Indianapolis. The Colts defense has given up the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season, meaning Rice could bounce back in a big way. With fellow receiver Xavier Worthy officially questionable for Sunday's contest, Rice could be relied upon even more in the passing game. The fact that the Colts offense has scored the most points this season bodes well for this becoming a shootout, and Rice would benefit. Rice is ranked WR4 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, meaning that he's a locked-and-loaded WR1 in Week 12.
Nov 21, 2025 3:26 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice will take on the Denver Broncos in Week 11. Rice returned from suspension in Week 7 and has been nothing short of spectacular for fantasy since. The 25-year-old stepped back into his WR1 role, earning 26 targets and scoring four touchdowns in three games heading into the team's Week 10 bye. With only a three-game sample size, Rice has the most points per game among wide receivers this season. Despite his incredible start, Rice will have to contend with Denver this week. The Broncos defense is the toughest matchup for wide receivers this season, allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to the position. Rice will need to link up with Patrick Mahomes often and in the red zone to manage a strong fantasy performance. Rice is ranked WR6 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a must-start WR1 despite facing the toughest matchup for receivers this season.
Nov 15, 2025 4:48 AM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice made his season debut in Week 7 against the Raiders and has immediately been one of the best fantasy wide receivers in the league. Rice has totaled 20 receptions on 26 targets for 215 yards and three touchdowns while adding four carries for 18 yards and another touchdown on the ground. The 25-year-old is averaging 22.4 PPR points per game, ranking as the WR5 in that span. Rice is one of just five wideouts to average over 20 PPR points per game on the season and should be ready to crush after the bye week as Patrick Mahomes' clear No. 1 target. Head coach Andy Reid has even given him carries near the goal line this season as the Chiefs work through their running back problems. With his high target volume and usage near the end zone, Rice is locked and loaded as a top-five fantasy receiver for the rest of the season.
Nov 11, 2025 4:36 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice led the team in receiving on Sunday and also found the end zone for the third straight game, this time on the ground. In KC's 28-21 loss on the road to the Buffalo Bills in Week 9, Rice led the team in catches (four), targets (seven), and receiving yards (80) while also carrying the ball twice for six yards and his first rushing touchdown of the year. The 25-year-old continues to be the Chiefs' top offensive weapon despite making his season debut on Oct. 19 in the blowout win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Rice has now scored in all three of his games and has at least 80 receiving yards in two of his three games. In his season debut against the Raiders, the former second-rounder had only 42 receiving yards but found the end zone twice. Rice and the Chiefs will now head into their bye before a big divisional clash in Week 11 versus the Denver Broncos.
Nov 2, 2025 10:40 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice will face the Buffalo Bills in Week 9. Rice caught nine passes for 93 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs 28-7 rout of the Washington Commanders. Since returning from suspension, Rice has been the focal point of the Kansas City offense, and he has delivered massive fantasy performances. The Chiefs WR1 is averaging 9.5 targets per game since returning, and that trend should continue despite facing the Bills, who have allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Rice has an especially strong role around the endzone, which makes his scoring opportunities more plentiful than the average receiver. Rice has the opportunity to put on a massive performance in a game with the second-highest total of the week. Rice is ranked WR5 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a must-start player in Week 9.
Nov 1, 2025 4:52 AM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice caught all nine of his targets for 93 yards and a touchdown while adding two rushes for 12 yards in Monday night's 28-7 win over the Washington Commanders. Rice has picked up right where he left off last season as a target hog and dominant after-the-catch threat. The 25-year-old had seven receptions while playing roughly 40% of the offensive snaps in his first game back in Week 7 against the Raiders, but was back to a full-time role in this one, playing 85% of the snaps. Rice nearly had another touchdown on one of his two rushing attempts, coming just inches shy of his second career two-touchdown day. Rice is the clear-cut favorite target for Patrick Mahomes and is set to crush for fantasy managers for the rest of the season. He'll be an elite WR1 for Week 9's game of the week against the Buffalo Bills.
Oct 28, 2025 12:37 AM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice will take on the Washington Commanders in Week 8. Rice returned from suspension in Week 7 and immediately stepped back into the WR1 role for Kansas City. The 25-year-old caught seven passes for 42 yards and two touchdowns in the dominating 31-0 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders last week. All that production came on nearly 40% of the offensive snaps as the Chiefs eased him back into action, and the game was not competitive down the stretch. Rice came out of last week's matchup feeling good, and the Chiefs should continue ramping him up each week. Rice should have no issues producing this week against the Commanders, who have allowed the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Rice is ranked WR4 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a high-end WR1 option on Monday night.
Oct 25, 2025 4:04 PM EST
In his first game back from a six-game suspension, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was on the field for 33 of his team's 81 offensive snaps against the Raiders, and OC Matt Nagy says he will continue to be brought along gradually. While a ramp-up is to be expected, the good news for fantasy managers is that 22 of those 33 snaps came on passing plays, and Rice was targeted a staggering nine times on the 19 routes that he ran. It's clear the team intends to run the passing offense through their third-year star, and as he sees more involvement, he should be viewed as a locked-in WR1, rewarding managers who held onto him through his lengthy absence. While Patrick Mahomes might see a dip in the rushing numbers that have made him one of the best fantasy quarterbacks to begin the year, the tradeoff is an electric receiver who can rack up yards and fantasy points with the ball in his hands.
Oct 24, 2025 2:41 PM EST
The Kansas City Chiefs said that wide receiver Rashee Rice was going to be heavily involved in the offensive game plan in his season debut in Week 7 against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday after serving his six-game suspension, and they were not lying. Rice picked up right where he left off last year, securing seven of his 10 targets for 42 yards and his first two touchdowns of 2025 in the team's 31-0 blowout win over the Raiders. The 25-year-old led the team in targets and catches on the day and reminded everyone why he was quarterback Patrick Mahomes' favorite target in the passing game last year before he suffered a season-ending knee injury. Rice's longest catch of the game only went for 12 yards, but fantasy managers have to be very pleased with what they saw from him in his season debut. Now that he's back from suspension, Rice should be locked and loaded into all starting fantasy lineups for a Monday night matchup in Week 8 against the Washington Commanders and their porous secondary.
Oct 19, 2025 11:51 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice will take the field for the first time this season against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7. The Chiefs receiver was injured to end last season and served his six-game suspension to begin this season, so Rice has not been active since Week 4 of 2024. That said, everyone in the Chiefs organization seems confident in his ability to be an impact player upon his arrival. Rice was averaging 21.6 PPR points per game to begin last season and had an explosive 12-catch, 110-yard performance the week before his injury. The 25-year-old is more than a year removed from the injury and should slot right back in as the team's top target. Rice will face the Raiders, who have allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Rice is ranked WR8 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a strong WR1 in his first game this season.
Oct 17, 2025 9:41 PM EST
Set to play his first game of the season after serving a six-game suspension, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is expected to play a big role in the offense right away with the Chiefs taking on Las Vegas in Week 7. An injury and a suspension have kept Rice off the field for significant portions of his 2.5 seasons in the NFL, but when he's been available, he's been a difference maker. Drawing a career average of 6.5 targets per game, the former SMU standout put up seven touchdowns and 653 yards after catch in his lone full season in 2023. With an enticing matchup against the Raiders, Rice is going to be a starting lineup fixture in all formats this week.
Oct 16, 2025 9:56 AM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice's six-game suspension is over, and he will make his 2025 debut in the Week 7 divisional clash against the Las Vegas Raiders this Sunday. "He's going to play (Sunday against the Raiders). How many snaps he'll get, (I don't know). He's been working hard. He's in good shape," head coach Andy Reid said. Rice is practicing with the rest of the team for the first time this year on Wednesday. According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the Chiefs "will be allocating a heavy workload for him as soon as possible," so fantasy managers will want to get Rice back into their starting lineups immediately in a good matchup. In addition to his six-game suspension, the 25-year-old is back from an LCL tear in his knee that he suffered in the offseason. When fully healthy, Rice is expected to be quarterback Patrick Mahomes' favorite target.
Oct 15, 2025 5:07 PM EST
The Kansas City Chiefs are getting wide receiver Rashee Rice back from suspension in Week 7, and the team "will be allocating a heavy workload for him as soon as possible," according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Rice joins a talented group of pass catchers in Kansas City that also includes wide receivers Xavier Worthy and Marquise Brown, as well as tight end Travis Kelce. Still, Rice should be expected to take over as the number one option in the passing game for quarterback Patrick Mahomes sooner rather than later. In four games before suffering a season-ending knee injury in 2024, Rice recorded 24 catches for 288 yards and two touchdowns on 29 targets. He profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
