Who Should I Start? Jakobi Meyers or Rashee Rice

Monday, January 6, 9:59 AM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers finished as the WR3 in half-PPR leagues to cap off the regular season despite the 34-20 loss to the Chargers. Meyers registered nine catches for 123 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets. He finishes the season with his first 1,000-yard total to go along with four touchdowns and a career-high 87 receptions. On the year, he ended up as the WR23, surpassing his previous career-best at WR24 last season.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes confirmed that wide receiver Rashee Rice (knee) is healthy and has been taking part in the team's voluntary offseason workouts. "The expectations are high," Mahomes said of Rice. "I mean, he looks really good. He's running routes. He's catching the football. I don't know when we get back into the actual OTAs, how much he'll be able to do, but he's been able to do everything here, as far as running routes and everything like that." It's great news for the 25-year-old, who suffered a season-ending LCL tear in Week 4 against the Chargers last year. The Chiefs will likely be cautious with Rice when OTAs begin, but barring a setback, he's fully expected to be ready for training camp and the start of the 2025 regular season this fall. In addition to coming off a major knee injury, Rice could be facing discipline from the league for an off-the-field incident. But all that aside, he has clear WR1 upside.
