Who Should I Start? DeVonta Smith or Rashee Rice

Tuesday, November 25, 8:26 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (chest, shoulder) was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice due to chest and shoulder injuries, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Smith's status bears watching on a short week when the team takes on the Chicago Bears on Friday. He played 95% of the offensive snaps in the Week 12 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday and had a big game, catching six of his 11 targets for 89 yards. If Smith is a DNP again on Wednesday, fantasy managers should actually be worried that he might be in danger of missing Week 13 action. If Smith is limited in any way or ruled out entirely against Chicago later this week, Jahan Dotson would be in line for WR2 duties in Philly behind A.J. Brown. Smith has only found the end zone three times in 11 games in 2025, adding 55 receptions on 78 targets for 754 yards. He's on track for the third 1,000-yard season in his fifth NFL campaign.

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.
