KC WR Rashee Rice - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Los Angeles Chargers

Rashee Rice has 288 receiving yards through three games. No other Chiefs receiver has more than 81. When talking about targets, Rice has 29 while the next-closest is Travis Kelce with 12. Pretty safe to say at this point that he's the favorite now for Patrick Mahomes. The Chargers have been one of the better pass defenses through three weeks but will be without safety Derwin James due to a suspension. Even still, Rice is a weekly top play now that he's being peppered with targets.

KC WR Rashee Rice - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Atlanta Falcons

75 yards and a touchdown for Rashee Rice last week against the Bengals as he continues to show he is the clear WR1 in Kansas City. He has 15 targets through two games, no other Chief has more than eight. That trend will continue against the Falcons, who do bring a very nice secondary to the table. Rice also leads all wide receivers in yards after the catch with 125. Only Dolphins RB De’Von Achane (170) has more.

KC WR Rashee Rice - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Rashee Rice is firmly the WR1 in Kansas City. Week 1 was another example after Rice caught 7/9 targets for 103 yards. With the chances of him being suspended this season low at this point, Rice is firmly a WR1 option in fantasy circles going forward. This week, he faces the Bengals, a team he had strong success against last season with 127 yards on five catches.

KC WR Rashee Rice - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Baltimore Ravens

It's looking unlikely that Rashee Rice will be suspended this season as his court date isn't until December. As a result, Rice may be in for another 100-plus target season, starting with Week 1 against the Ravens. Even with the new deep threats and the Chiefs bringing back JuJu Smith-Schuster, Rice should still be one of Patrick Mahomes' favorite targets, even against a tough Ravens defense that will have either Marlon Humphrey or Nate Wiggins on Rice. Rice is a WR3/Flex option this week.

KC WR Rashee Rice - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Rashee Rice had a very nice rookie season, catching 79 passes for 938 yards and seven touchdowns and that was without playing significant snaps until Week 7. From that point on, he was WR19 in fantasy and was a top-ten fantasy wide receiver in the final seven weeks. He quickly established a connection with Patrick Mahomes.

Fantasy Downside

The downside is pretty clear here with Rice. He is still facing a possible suspension from an April incident in which Rice was charged with one count each of aggravated assault and collision involving serious injury plus six counts of collision involving injury. Rice's trial date is set for December 9, so a late-season suspension is still possible. Even when Rice will be on the field, the additions of Hollywood Brown and Xavier Worthy will take targets away from Rice. Plenty of questions, on and off the field, involving Rice.

2024 Bottom Line

KC WR Rashee Rice - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Rashee Rice led the Chiefs in targets last week with 12, finishing 6-57. While it wasn't Rice's most productive day, it was still a nice effort from him to see him reaching double-digit targets again. Rice has seen at least nine targets in five straight games now as he has easily become Patrick Mahomes' top WR target. Rice should have another productive outing this week in a favorable matchup vs. the Bengals (25th aFPA). Rice can be viewed as a solid WR1 option for Week 17.

KC WR Rashee Rice - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Las Vegas Raiders

Rashee Rice had one of his best games last week as he set a season high in receptions (9), finishing with 91 yards and a touchdown. Rice also played on a season-high 92% of the offensive snaps, a week after his previous high of 85%. Before the past two weeks, Rice was averaging 50.5%. Rice has been on a tear in his past four games, averaging 9.5 targets and 8.0 receptions for 83.5 yards with three total TDs. This week he faces the Raiders (18th aFPA), a team he went 8-107-1 against just a few weeks ago. Rice has elevated himself into WR1 status for the time being, and is someone you want in your lineup for Week 16.
