STACKED’s take
Rice projects as WR2 with WR1 upside; route share should ramp post-injury.
Rice is a mid-range WR2 with WR1 upside in Week 9 vs. the Jets. In his first game back from hamstring injury (Week 8 vs. Broncos), Rice collected 18.3 points with a 26% targets-per-route run (TPRR) despite a lackluster 61% route share due to workload management. He operated from the slot 42% of the time with a 2.1 average target depth and 7.0 average route depth. Andy Reid noted that Rice's routes were part of workload management coming off the injury, and that should ramp—Rice saw a career-high 85% route share over the first three weeks of the season. Denver is the 7th-hardest matchup for WRs (-3.0 PPG) and 5th-hardest slot matchup (-2.1). The Chiefs are 9.7-point favorites over the Jets with a 27.9-point team total (4th) and have passed on 80% of plays in the red zone (4th). New York is the 8th-hardest WR matchup (-2.9 PPG). Zain Dhanani's Receiver Score data sees this as a neutral matchup. Median projection: 14.5; Ceiling: 22.2; Floor: 10.7.
