Who Should I Start? Rashee Rice or Blake Corum

Friday, September 18, 12:59 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was listed on the injury report with the knee injury that he's been rehabbing since last season, but had no issues practicing fully all week and is no longer listed on the report heading into the weekend. Rice had a disappointing Week 1 performance in the win over the Denver Broncos. Rice had just two catches for 19 yards and a touchdown in last week's contest. The touchdown came on a bit of a broken play where two Broncos defenders missed their tackles and Rice had a free run to the end zone. It was encouraging to see the wideout score, the usage in the passing game was underwhelming. Kansas City leaned on running back Kenneth Walker heavily and it paid off big time as the Chiefs ended up winning by 21 points. While the identity of the offense may have shifted run-heavy, quarterback Patrick Mahomes will still need to pass the ball to keep defenses honest and Rice should be the primary target. Rice will look to get things right this Sunday night against the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts defense looked lost as the Baltimore Ravens scored 41 points on them in Week 1. The Chiefs offense should be capable of putting up similar production against a beatable defensive unit. Rice is ranked WR23 in our RotoBaller Week 2 PPR rankings, making him a low-end WR2 heading into this week's matchup.
