At 40th overall, I just don't want to touch Rashee Rice this week against the Denver Broncos... Alex Singleton, Ja'Quan McMillian, and Talanoa Hufanga are menaces on the defensive interior... Patrick Surtain and Riley Moss take away the exterior options and continue to funnel work inside.

Rice faces Denver's elite defense; heavy pass rush and coverage scheme limit upside.

Rashee Rice, ranked 40th overall in flex rankings, faces a difficult matchup against Denver's elite defense in Week 1. Denver's defensive interior features Alex Singleton, Ja'Quan McMillian, and Talanoa Hufanga applying heavy pass rush, while cornerbacks Patrick Surtain and Riley Moss take away exterior options and funnel work inside. This defensive scheme could limit Rice's opportunities despite potential target volume, especially with Patrick Mahomes making his first start since tearing his ACL and the Chiefs potentially without starting left tackle Josh Simmons due to a back injury.
