From the episode

he's naturally going to be forced more outside... he's not been a good zone beater so far... when he's having his big games previously, he would just literally sit there and zone... But now the Holmes, because the looks are a little bit better down the field because the way the run game's operating, he's actually looking further downfield

Rice's role shifting as Chiefs' run game improves and Mahomes looks downfield more.

Rice is being forced more outside due to the Chiefs' improved run game and better downfield looks. He has struggled as a zone beater so far this season despite historically excelling in that role; previously he would sit in zone coverage and catch passes from Mahomes, but now Mahomes is looking further downfield because the run game is operating better, changing Rice's usage pattern.
