Yahoo Fantasy Football - Josh & Hayden on Rashee Rice

Rice's role has shifted to the outside with decreased target-per-route efficiency

Rashee Rice is seeing a significant role change in the Chiefs' offense, moving from a zone-beating slot receiver to playing outside more (62% in 2024 vs 48% in 2023). His target-per-route rate has dropped to 10%, and he has only received two screen targets through two weeks, which is atypical. While he has struggled against man press coverage, he is benefiting from Patrick Mahomes looking further downfield due to an improved run game.
