Who Should I Start? Rashee Rice or Marvin Harrison Jr.

Friday, August 15, 10:23 PM

According to NFL Media's Tom Pelissero, the NFL proposed a double-digit suspension for Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice. Of course, this proposal received some push back, with Rice's agents and attorney arguing against it. The NFLPA also isn't in favor of the lengthy suspension. A hearing is currently set for September 30, which would potentially allow the wideout to play in a few games to begin the 2025 campaign. However, per Pelissero, a settlement could be reached before then, meaning his suspension might start immediately. Without question, Rice is considered one of the most talented receivers in the National Football League. He began his career by finding the end zone seven times as a rookie. Unfortunately, the 25-year-old was limited to only four contests in 2024 before his season came to an abrupt end due to a knee injury. With a suspension on the horizon, his fantasy stock has taken a hit heading into the season. Still, he is expected to be an elite fantasy option once he's cleared to suit up. While Rice is off the field, Marquise Brown, Travis Kelce, and Xavier Worthy could be in line for more attention from Patrick Mahomes.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. carried incredibly high expectations entering his rookie season, and in some ways, failed to reach those lofty goals. Now, entering his second season, he's looking to build some better chemistry with Kyler Murray and connect more often. In their first preseason game on Saturday against the Kansas City Chiefs, Harrison caught one of his two targets for 15 yards early in the first quarter. His only other target was a terrible throw from Murray that ended in an interception. There wasn't too much to gather from this showing, but Harrison remains the WR1 and likely will benefit from having a full offseason to prepare.
