Rashee Rice carries an undeniable upside. He's averaged 64.2 yards per game since turning pro, has a 74.6% catch rate and 14 touchdowns in 28 games. But staying on the field has become a challenge, between various injuries and one league suspension. Rice's off-field baggage and recovery from knee surgery should be factored into his draft price.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Rice's off-field issues and injuries create floor concerns despite upside.

Rashee Rice is noted as a pass catcher who can't stay out of off-field trouble, contributing to the deterioration of the Chiefs' supporting cast. Scott Pianowski notes Rice carries undeniable upside with 64.2 yards per game average, 74.6% catch rate, and 14 TDs in 28 games, but staying on the field has become a challenge due to various injuries and one league suspension. His off-field baggage and knee surgery recovery should be factored into draft price, and the Kansas City offense has not been high-powered for a couple of years. Those driven by upside may consider Rice in the second or third round, but his shaky floor is concerning.
