Rashee Rice Scores First Rushing Touchdown in Week 9 Loss to Bills

Sunday, November 2, 10:40 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice led the team in receiving on Sunday and also found the end zone for the third straight game, this time on the ground. In KC's 28-21 loss on the road to the Buffalo Bills in Week 9, Rice led the team in catches (four), targets (seven), and receiving yards (80) while also carrying the ball twice for six yards and his first rushing touchdown of the year. The 25-year-old continues to be the Chiefs' top offensive weapon despite making his season debut on Oct. 19 in the blowout win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Rice has now scored in all three of his games and has at least 80 receiving yards in two of his three games. In his season debut against the Raiders, the former second-rounder had only 42 receiving yards but found the end zone twice. Rice and the Chiefs will now head into their bye before a big divisional clash in Week 11 versus the Denver Broncos.

Puka Nacua Going for Scan on his Rib

Monday, November 3, 1:29 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (rib) is scheduled to have a scan for the rib injury that he suffered in Sunday's blowout win over the New Orleans Saints, according to head coach Sean McVay. The Rams said on Sunday that Nacua could have come back into the game, but they were being overly cautious with the game already in hand. McVay said he feels "optimistic... in regard to where we're potentially heading." It sounds as though the Rams are expecting the 24-year-old to be ready for a big divisional game in Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers, but we won't know for sure until later this week. Although Nacua was injured in Week 9, he still managed to produce for his fantasy managers before departing, catching seven of his eight targets for 95 yards and a touchdown in the 34-10 victory. If Nacua is active in Week 10, he'll be a must-start against San Fran's banged-up defense.
