Who Should I Start? Rashee Rice or Malik Nabers

Wednesday, August 27, 12:19 PM

Updating a previous report, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is accepting and will serve a six-game suspension to start the 2025 regular season, sources tell Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The league and the NFL Players Association are working to finalize the settlement, which will end the limbo surrounding Rice's off-the-field issues. He will be eligible to return for a Week 7 divisional clash against the Las Vegas Raiders on Oct. 19. This is obviously a big hit to the 25-year-old's fantasy value this year, but managers already knew a four- to six-game suspension was coming, and Rice sitting out games to begin the year is actually better than him missing key games down the stretch into the fantasy playoffs. Despite the suspension, Rice is worth stashing in all fantasy formats, and he could even come at a nice discount. Xavier Worthy and Marquise Brown will see more targets in the first six weeks.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers caught nine of his 13 targets for 167 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's Week 2 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Nabers delivered two acrobatic touchdown grabs on deep passes from Russell Wilson, carrying his team to an overtime thriller before New York ultimately lost on a game-winning field goal. The former first-round pick has quickly developed a strong rapport with Russell Wilson, which should prove to be beneficial as the Giants throw the ball a lot while playing from behind. Nabers remains a high-end WR1 option heading into Week 3 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
