Who Should I Start? Rashee Rice or Puka Nacua

Friday, November 21, 3:26 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice will take on the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12. Rice struggled to find success against the vaunted Denver defense in last week's loss. Rice caught six passes for 38 yards on nine targets in Week 11. The good news is he finished second on the team in targets, and he should continue being a target hog this week against Indianapolis. The Colts defense has given up the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season, meaning Rice could bounce back in a big way. With fellow receiver Xavier Worthy officially questionable for Sunday's contest, Rice could be relied upon even more in the passing game. The fact that the Colts offense has scored the most points this season bodes well for this becoming a shootout, and Rice would benefit. Rice is ranked WR4 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, meaning that he's a locked-and-loaded WR1 in Week 12.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua continues to be a must-start fantasy option for Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 24-year-old has put together another phenomenal season; he ranks as the overall WR3 in fantasy scoring this season, and he would be in the running for the top spot if he hadn't missed time due to injury earlier this year. Despite playing fewer than two-thirds of the offensive snaps in each of his last three games, Nacua has totaled 19 catches, 234 receiving yards, and two receiving touchdowns during that span. This week, he gets a relatively favorable matchup against the Bucs, who have allowed the 15th-most fantasy points, 11th-most receptions, and eighth-most receiving yards to opposing receivers in 2025. Nacua ranks as the overall WR2 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings, which puts him in the list's top tier.
