STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Rice's short-area targets dropped to 2 through Week 2 from 5.8 per game prior.

Rice has only 2 targets of 5 or fewer air yards through Week 2, a significant decline from his 5.8 per-game average in the 2024-2025 seasons combined. Matt Harmon had previously predicted Rice might take a step back based on charting analysis, and the short-area targeting data confirms this shift; the Chiefs are redirecting short-area passes to Kelce instead.
