Who Should I Start? Rashee Rice or Cedric Tillman

Wednesday, October 15, 5:07 PM

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.

According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, the Cleveland Browns are placing wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hamstring) on the injured reserve. The former third-round pick suffered this injury during their loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday afternoon. As a result, Tillman will miss at least the next four games. In a corresponding move, the Browns signed wide receivers Malachi Corley and Gage Larvadain to the active roster. Through four games, Tillman operated as a starting option in the passing attack and caught 11 passes for 106 yards and two scores. However, with Tillman slated to miss time, fantasy managers should expect veteran Jerry Jeudy to take the lead role in the offense, while rookie Isaiah Bond is expected to see a larger target share.
