Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz on Rashee Rice

Fade Rashee Rice due to off-field risks and a limited, low-aDOT role

Ian Hartitz is fading Rashee Rice for 2026 due to significant off-field risks that could lead to his removal from the Chiefs or the league. On the field, Rice is limited by a 4.7-yard average target depth—the lowest among wide receivers since 2023—and leads the position in screen target percentage. With only one career catch on passes 30+ yards downfield, Hartitz argues Rice's current ADP (WR8 to WR13, rounds 2-3) is too high for a player with such a limited role in an offense that has struggled recently. Furthermore, his touchdown profile is limited, with scores frequently coming from very close to the goal line, similar to Dallas Goedert's usage.
