From the episode
he came back, immediately stepped in and was the number one wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs... he's going to be closer to a top 15 receiver than where he is ranked now as wide receiver 23.
STACKED’s take
Rice is the buy; de facto #1 for KC with red zone equity and top-15 upside.
The source identifies Rice as the buy of the Pickens/Williams/Rice trio despite initial hesitation. Rice immediately stepped in as the number one wide receiver for Kansas City upon return from injury, with Xavier Worthy doing nothing and Travis Kelce playing through a high ankle sprain. Rice caught a touchdown and should have caught two, with the team loving to go to him in the red zone. The source was shocked how low Rice was ranked in week nine rankings given his reliability concerns post-injury, but notes if Kenneth Walker's struggles continue and the run game stalls, Rice could revert to PPR underneath merchant tendencies and rank closer to top 15 than his current WR23 ranking.
