I'm worried for Rice once Downs is playing full snaps... his style is very similar to Downs', running over 50% of routes from the slot, and having over 70% of receiving fantasy points coming on throws under 10 air yards.

Rice's volume-dependent role faces compression risk as Downs plays full snaps in KC.

The source expresses worry for Rice once Downs plays full snaps. Rice is volume-dependent and runs over 50% of his routes from the slot with over 70% of receiving fantasy points on throws under 10 air yards—a similar style to Downs—which creates overlap and potential target share compression.
