Rice's 4.69 air yards per target ranks 112th, with a decent gap to 111th in Greg Dortch at 5.23. With Kenneth Walker III in town to provide a real deal rushing game, some of those underneath targets could disappear

Rice's role at risk; lowest air yards per target among 112 receivers since 2023.

Rice's role may not be as secure as many project despite off-field and medical concerns. Among 112 wide receivers who ran 600+ routes since 2023, Rice ranks 112th in air yards per target at 4.69, with a significant gap to 111th (Greg Dortch at 5.23). With Kenneth Walker III providing a real rushing game, underneath targets functioning as extensions of the run game could disappear, especially around the goal line. The Chiefs were underwhelming last year while funneling short targets to Rice and have incentive to mix up their approach.
