Rice risky at low-end WR1; injury, off-field concerns, run game improving.
Rashee RiceWR
Matt Harmon avoids Rashee Rice at his current cost as a low-end WR1, citing multiple concerns: injury risk, off-field risk, and role uncertainty. He notes that many other receivers in that range lack both injury and off-field concerns. Additionally, Harmon expects the Chiefs' run game to improve significantly with Kenneth Walker's arrival (Kansas City ranked dead last in explosive run rate at 2.9% over the last two years), which could reduce Rice's "scammy" passing game targets that served as run game extensions. This shift may diminish Rice's easy-button target opportunities. Harmon also expresses concern about Rice's chaotic offseason and uncertainty about whether improvement will materialize this year, taking a wait-and-see approach.
