Rice's 0-TD history vs. Broncos' elite man coverage and Mahomes' ACL recovery cloud Week 1.

Rice has been a top-five fantasy WR when fully healthy, but the offense seems set to change with Kenneth Walker III in house and Patrick Mahomes coming off a torn ACL. Rice was also visibly working his way back into shape after a second clean-up surgery on his knee happened the week before he spent a month in actual jail. Rice has struggled against the Broncos' great secondary in three career games: 6-38-0, 4-56-0 and 4-72-0. The Broncos led the NFL in man coverage last season, and Rice has been one of the worst receivers against man in the NFL. The Chiefs only project for 23.0 points (14th). The betting markets still love Rice as a volume play, giving him 8.5 targets.
