Royals' Rice comparison and snap share make him a safer post-bye play than Allen.

Royals (ECR WR70) is positioned as the Rashee Rice replacement in the Chiefs offense post-bye. Matt Harmon compared Royals to Rice as incoming prospects, and the Chiefs organization made the same comparison after drafting Royals in Round 4. Derek Brown also called Royals one of his guys at wide receiver. Royals has a 31.4% snap share and 25.7% route participation rate this season, making him a safer option to run routes than Cyrus Allen. The source identifies Royals as the better plug-and-play emergency option and suggests adding him in leagues with deep benches, particularly given the potency of Kansas City's offense.
