Rashee Rice News

Rashee Rice Removed From Injury Report, Ready To Face Tough Divisional Opponent

Friday, October 2, 11:18 AM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was listed on this week's injury report with the same knee injury he has been rehabbing all offseason, so nothing new to report on that front. He practiced fully in every practice session this week and is no longer listed on the report heading into the weekend. Rice is coming off his best game of the season in last week's 24-10 victory over the Miami Dolphins. Rice caught seven passes for 88 yards, leading the team in catches, yards, and targets by a large margin. Perhaps the easy matchup against Miami was just what Rice needed to have a get-right game. This week's matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders may not be so easy. The Raiders defense looks like one of the most improved units year over year, holding opposing offenses to low scoring outputs in two of three games this season. Rice will have to compete with tight end Travis Kelce for valuable targets while contending with the Las Vegas defensive backs. Rice is ranked WR17 in our RotoBaller Week 4 PPR rankings, making him a fine WR2 in most leagues.

Tre Tucker Unlikely to Make a Big Impact in Week 4

Friday, October 2, 12:55 PM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker should get more involved in Week 4, but should fantasy managers play him against the Kansas City Chiefs? Tucker's target share could tick up since fellow receiver Jack Bech (forearm) is sidelined for at least four games. However, the return of All-Pro tight end Brock Bowers has already significantly cut into Tucker's opportunities, and he was held to just four receptions for 43 yards in Week 3. Additionally, the Chiefs' passing defense is allowing just 178.3 yards per game to start the season. Tucker's diminished usage is unlikely to tick up very much with Bech out, especially going up against a tough opponent. He may be a solid deep-league stash or flex option in other matchups, but Tucker is a sit candidate in redraft leagues in Week 4.
