From the episode
he ran a screen on 10% of his routes the past two seasons. That's down to 3% so far. However, he is on the field all the time...he's running a route on a career high 84.5% of drop back.
STACKED’s take
Rice's role changed; route rate career-high (84.5%); Chiefs-Dolphins matchup excellent (28 pts).
Rice's role has officially changed: screen rate down from 10% (past two seasons) to 3%, but route participation up to career-high 84.5% of dropbacks. Despite linear skillset vs. WRs drafted around him, Hayden believes Rice won't totally fail because Chiefs score lots of points and he's on field all the time. However, he's been blocking for Xavier Worthy on screens (problem) and Kenneth Walker catching passes (problem). Matchup vs. Dolphins is excellent: Chiefs projected for 28 points; Dolphins defense is ACC-level with massive coverage busts (single Dolphin didn't touch 49er entire game last week). Dolphins weak over middle with rookies swimming in slot and at LB—Rice's strength. Patrick Mahomes throwing to WRs at lowest rate in league (42.5%), mostly to Kelce.
