Negative signalProjection

Rice's WR1 ceiling diminishes with Downs arrival; could drop to WR2.

With Josh Downs joining the Chiefs, Rashee Rice can no longer rely on simply being spammed low aDOT looks to post WR1 numbers. He could tumble down the WR2 ranks if the Downs trade is a success. Rice's yards per route run against zone (3.10) is superior to Downs' (1.62), but against man coverage Rice (1.27) is significantly behind Downs (1.89).
