Who Should I Start? Rashee Rice or Keon Coleman

Saturday, December 6, 5:11 AM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice caught eight passes for 92 yards and two touchdowns in the 28-31 loss to Dallas on Thanksgiving. Rice has been the focal point of Kansas City's offense since his return from suspension and has been virtually matchup-proof outside of a down game against Denver, where he caught six passes for 38 yards. The Broncos made it a point to slow down Rice, and the same treatment could be coming his way in Week 14 against a tough Houston defense. The Texans have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Despite the matchup, Rice should still be given a heavy dose of targets in what could be a must-win game for Kansas City. Rice was also dealing with a hamstring injury this week, but practiced in full Wednesday through Friday, so he has no injury designation for this week's matchup. Rice is ranked WR4 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a must-start option despite facing one of the strongest defenses in the NFL.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman returned in Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers after serving as a healthy inactive the past two games due to disciplinary reasons. Coleman hauled in two of his three targets for nine yards and his fourth touchdown of the season. The second-year wideout hasn't taken the step forward as the team's WR1 as many had hoped, recording 34 receptions for 339 yards and four touchdowns on 52 targets in 10 games. Since his monster Week 1 performance when he collected eight receptions for 112 yards and a touchdown on a season-high 11 targets, he's been held below 50 yards in every game. Coleman has some momentum heading into Week 14 against the Bengals after scoring in back-to-back games, but he isn't a trustworthy fantasy option in 12-team leagues at this stage of the season.
