Rashee Rice News
Friday, November 13, 12:24 PM
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice led the team in targets and finished second on the team in receiving yards in last week's 35-12 win over the New York Jets. Since returning from injury, Rice has been the featured target for quarterback Patrick Mahomes and that should continue to be the case despite dealing with a knee issue. Rice was listed on the team's injury report with a knee injury this week but it did not prevent him from logging full practices all week. After a third full practice on Friday, he does not have an injury designation ahead of the weekend. Rice should be fully prepared to take on the Atlanta Falcons on the road this Sunday. The Falcons defense has been a tough matchup for wide receivers and soft on running backs, making them more of a run funnel this season. The loss of safety Jessie Bates should open things up in the Atlanta secondary, but the best way to attack the defense will likely still be on the ground. Given the matchup and recent addition of Josh Downs at the trade deadline, Rice could be in for a lesser performance this Sunday. Rice is ranked WR16 in our RotoBaller Week 10 PPR rankings, making him a strong WR2 option this week, but he may have limited upside.

Tetairoa McMillan News
Friday, November 13, 4:16 PM
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan had a decent performance in Week 9 versus a tough Broncos' secondary, drawing six targets and catching four of them for 56 yards, with his fantasy day being saved by a five-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. McMillan and teammate Jalen Coker only received 11 targets combined as the premier pieces of the Panthers' passing attack, which is atypical, as McMillan has only seen six or fewer targets in three games through eight played. His usual substantial role has elevated him to WR14 in fantasy points per game this year. He has an easier task this week against a vulnerable Saints' defense, which is middle of the league in both fantasy points and touchdowns allowed to opposing wide receivers. Given that QB Bryce Young leads the NFL in pass attempts per game at 38.5, and the Saints Defense has allowed 27 points per game, McMillan should be in line for plenty of opportunities in Week 10. Fantasy managers can confidently start McMillan as a high-end WR2 in their Week 10 contest.
