Rashee Rice Fantasy Football Rankings & Outlook

PFM Fantasy Outlook

Rashee Rice caught five passes for 49 yards in Kansas City's 35-12 win against the Jets. The Chiefs were able to move the ball without requiring him to create a huge receiving play, and Kenneth Walker III continued supplying rushing and scoring production. Rice had seven receptions and a touchdown at Denver the previous week, so his latest game was less about a disappearing role than the way Kansas City divided its opportunities. His recent hamstring and knee issues also deserve monitoring even after his return to full practice.

Rice has 25 receptions for 292 yards and two touchdowns in six appearances this season. PFM ranks him WR19 for Week 10 at Atlanta and WR24 rest of season. His ability to catch passes underneath gives him a path to useful receiving totals, but fantasy managers still need scoring or more yards after the catch for a strong weekly result. The Falcons matchup may offer opportunities; the question is whether Rice can claim a larger fraction of Patrick Mahomes' throws when the Chiefs have several effective playmakers.
