Who Should I Start? Rashee Rice or Cedric Tillman

Tuesday, November 25, 1:19 PM

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.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman turned in a decent effort in a Week 11 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, catching three of his four targets for 52 yards in defeat. Tillman will now head on the road to face off against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12. The Raiders have been an excellent matchup for receivers this season as they are allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. While the fact the Browns are starting unknown quantity Shedeur Sanders at quarterback isn't ideal, Tillman will run many of his routes against Kyu Blu Kelly, who was partially responsible for George Pickens' explosive nine-catch, 144-yard, one-touchdown performance in Week 11. Tillman isn't a safe play, but he is on the radar in fantasy as a dart-throw flex option and is even worth a look as a low-priced option in DFS tournaments.
