Bottom Line

Rice got nice draft capital (55th overall pick) and joins a highly productive Chiefs passing game with an unproven WR corps.

It makes the rookie worth monitoring closely throughout the summer – and worth considering as a late-round flier in fantasy drafts.


What We Learned Last Year
  • The Chiefs moved up eight spots in this spring’s draft to select Rice 55th overall. He was the seventh WR off the board.
  • Rice is coming off a big senior season at SMU: 96 catches, 1,355 yards, and 10 TDs.
  • He ranked ninth among 286 qualifying WRs in yards per route run (3.05) and seventh in Pro Football Focus receiving grade last year.
  • Rice also led SMU in catches as a sophomore and junior.
  • He’s position versatile, playing 82% of his snaps out wide last year but 94% of his snaps in the slot back in 2021.
  • He showed well at the Combine, registering a 4.51-second 40 time with a 95th percentile vertical and 86th percentile broad jump at 6’1 and 204 pounds. He earned a 95th percentile Relative Athletic Score.
  • The knocks against Rice:
    • He was a four-year college player.
    • He’s already 23 years old.
    • He played against lower-level competition in the American Athletic Conference.

What to Expect in 2023
  • Rice joins an Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes-led offense that’s ranked top-6 in passing yards and TDs in five straight seasons.
  • There’s opportunity in the WR corps. 135 targets (20.7% of the total) from last year’s team are gone with the offseason departures of JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman. Kansas City only added Rashee Rice in free agency. Kadarius Toney, Skyy Moore, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Justin Watson return. None of those guys have reached 700 receiving yards in an NFL season.
  • GM Brett Veach suggested that the team views Rice as a potential replacement for Smith-Schuster. Rice spent time out wide, in the slot, and even attached to the line of scrimmage at rookie minicamp.
  • Kansas City has finished top six in passing yards and TDs in all five seasons with QB Patrick Mahomes as the starter.
  • Chiefs WRs have ranked 15th or better in total WR PPR points in all five of those seasons, so there are certainly fantasy points to be had here.

Rashee Rice, WR KC

11:04pm EST 11/26/23

Rashee Rice balls out

Congratulations to all the fantasy managers out there who waited patiently for the breakout game from Chiefs WR Rashee Rice. The rookie hauled in 8 of his team-high 10 targets in Week 12 vs. the Raiders for 109 receiving yards and a TD. What’s exciting here is that his 71% route participation rate and 31.3% target share from this contest are Rice’s highest marks this season. Some of this bump in usage can be attributed to the fact that his teammate Mecole Hardman landed on IR with a thumb injury, and Kadarius Toney (ankle, hip) was inactive on Sunday, but that shouldn’t discount the fact that Rice stepped up to the plate for a Chiefs’ offense that’d been struggling of late. It’ll be intriguing to see if the Chiefs will maintain his usage next week in a decent matchup vs. the Packers (24th in pass defense DVOA in 2023). At the very least, Rice will be worth keeping on the flex monitor in lineups.

Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney (ankle, hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Raiders. With WR Mecole Hardman (thumb) on IR, the Chiefs are down to five WRs: Rashee Rice, Justin Watson, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Skyy Moore, and Richie James. Rice remains the top fantasy option here but still ran a route on just 52% of pass plays coming off the bye last week. Watson led the way with a 66% route rate and 11 targets in that loss to the Eagles but would still be tough to trust in Week 12 fantasy lineups.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice scored his fourth TD of the season in Sunday’s win over Miami. The rookie saw only 2 targets – a 6% share – but found the end zone on a first quarter screen pass. Entering Sunday, he had recorded 4+ catches in four straight. He'll remain a WR3/FLEX option (vs. Philly) after a Week 10 bye.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice delivered 5 receptions for 60 yards and a TD among 6 targets in Sunday's win over the Chargers. He ranked second on the team in targets in a game that saw QB Patrick Mahomes attempt 42 throws. It was Rice's third straight game with at least 4 receptions, as well as Mahomes' third straight game with at least 40 attempts. Rice's 75% catch rate doesn't seem likely to hold up the rest of the way, but his growing role with (arguably?) the league's best QB sets Rice up to continue his strong efficiency. Rice should at least be in your WR4-level consideration going forward and could easily climb into weekly WR3 territory -- especially if Kansas City's passing volume stays up. WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling also scored against the Chargers and ranked second on the team with 84 receiving yards. But he also managed just 3 receptions -- which happens to be his high for the season. MVS remains only a prayer-level fantasy play if you're hard up.

Chiefs WR Justin Watson dislocated his elbow in Thursday night's win over the Broncos, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. X-rays came back clean, but Watson is still scheduled for an MRI. "He's out a few weeks at least, and it could be longer based on the results of the scans," Rapoport adds. Watson has played 44% of Kansas City's offensive snaps and garnered 17 targets through six games, so his absence opens up a little opportunity for the other Chiefs WRs.

Dynasty Write-up
Playing through turf toe, Rice broke out with a massive 96-1,355-10 line in 2022. He needs to clean up the drops. But there’s a lot to like here, from the size (6’1, 204) to the overall athleticism (9.53/10 Relative Athletic Score). Plus, you have to love the Round 2 draft capital with Kansas City.
