Yahoo Sports NFL on Rashee Rice
From the article
The Jets have been particularly weak against shallow WRs, allowing the eighth-most production on throws within 10 air yards... A monster 28.75-point team total has Rice's projection looking the best it has been all year.
STACKED’s take
Rice's projection peaks vs. Jets' weak shallow WR defense; 19% target share in four games.
Rice is WR21 on WR39 usage with a 19% target share and 6.3 targets per game in his four healthy games, finishing between WR12 and WR32 in all of them. Xavier Worthy's threat has closed based on tape and Travis Kelce's YAC production has stalled, so Rice is back to being needed despite Kenneth Walker III's presence. The Jets have been particularly weak against shallow WRs, allowing the eighth-most production on throws within 10 air yards. Jalen Nailor snuck by with a WR20 finish last week, while role players Caleb Douglas (WR8) and Pop Douglas (WR10) balled out in prior games. A monster 28.75-point team total has Rice's projection looking the best it has been all year.
