From the article

Rice lost any trust from me many allegations ago, so at any point, the next shoe can drop. The Chiefs also could start dialing back his importance to the offense. That could mean a team-based suspension or a slight pivot away from him as a centerpiece. The most likely scenario remains that Rice is ready for Week 1 in a nice role, but the complexity of his knee and the risk of the next legal run-in are real enough to apply a 1-2 Round discount.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBust

Legal risk and potential Chiefs pivot warrant 1-2 round discount on Rice.

Rice lost Joe Burrow trust due to multiple allegations; at any point, the next legal issue can drop, and the Chiefs could dial back his importance to the offense or apply a team-based suspension, warranting a 1-2 round discount despite being the WR5 on WR2 expected points when healthy.
