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.

Xavier Worthy News

Xavier Worthy More Of A Dart Throw In Week 4

Friday, October 2, 11:22 AM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will face the Las Vegas Raiders on the road in Week 4. Worthy's performance in the 24-10 victory over the Miami Dolphins last week raised more concerns than optimism for his future performances. Worthy reeled in two catches for 20 yards on two targets in the contest. Despite the easy matchup, the third-year wideout finished with fewer yards and targets than Noah Gray in Week 3. Worthy will now have to face a tough Raiders defense in a matchup of two undefeated AFC West teams. Worthy will be involved in this week's matchup, but just how involved he will be is anyone's guess. Worthy is ranked WR60 in our RotoBaller Week 4 PPR rankings, making him a deep league flex option. Fantasy managers suffering from injuries may have to throw Worthy into lineups, but in most cases, there should be better options available.
