Who Should I Start? Rashee Rice or Keon Coleman

After having surgery to fix his right LCL on Tuesday, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice (knee) is expected to be out for four months, according to multiple sources. It was a best-case scenario for Rice, who will miss the rest of the 2024 season, but the good news is he's expected to make a full recovery. In addition to his knee, Rice also had a hamstring tendon repaired on Tuesday. Barring any setbacks for the 24-year-old during his rehab, he should be ready to go for the start of the 2025 season next fall. With receiver Marquise Brown (shoulder) already out for the year and running back Isiah Pacheco (leg) on Injured Reserve, the Chiefs have lost their best playmakers outside of quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce. Fantasy managers in single-year leagues can obviously drop Rice at this time and look for a replacement.

Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman (wrist) was a full participant in the team's first official practice (a walkthrough) of the week on Wednesday, signaling that he could finally be ready to return for a Week 15 showdown in Detroit against the Lions. The 21-year-old is battling a wrist injury that he suffered in Week 9. He was limited in practices last week and was questionable on the final injury report, but Buffalo eventually played it safe and kept him out of the Week 14 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. A full practice to begin the week is a good sign that he's trending in the right direction to return this Sunday, although nothing is guaranteed yet. With tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) also practicing in full, the Bills could be at full strength offensively for what could be another high-scoring contest in Detroit. Coleman, if active, will be a shaky WR4/flex play in fantasy after a long layoff.
