Who Should I Start? Rashee Rice or Elic Ayomanor

Wednesday, November 26, 4:51 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was a limited participant in Monday's practice with a hamstring injury, but followed that up with back-to-back full practices on Tuesday and Wednesday. Rice does not have an injury designation heading into Thursday and should continue being a target hog in the Chiefs offense. Rice is coming off a great game in Week 11, where he caught eight passes for 141 yards in their win over the Indianapolis Colts. The 25-year-old was the only player on the Chiefs to earn double-digit targets in last week's contest. Rice's success should continue on Thursday against the Cowboys, who have allowed the most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Rice should feast in this week's matchup, and he has a good chance of finding the endzone because he's scored four times in five games this season. Rice is ranked WR3 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him one of the best options at the position this week.

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Elic Ayomanor will have more opportunities the rest of the way with Calvin Ridley (leg) out for the year. The assumption was that this would increase his fantasy value. However, Ayomanor hasn't been able to take advantage yet. In fact, Ayomanor has only hauled in three of his 11 targets for 16 yards in his last two games. Unfortunately, the rookie wideout just isn't on the same page as rookie quarterback Cameron Ward right now. The only positive here is that Ayomanor has seen five or more targets in each of his last six games. The hope is that these two will build chemistry together, but fantasy managers don't have time to wait. The fantasy playoffs are looming, so managers cannot afford to get another dud. At this point, Ayomanor is a solid dynasty stash, but he isn't someone that can be trusted in starting lineups in 12-team redraft formats against a tough Cleveland Browns defense in Week 14.
