Rice is coming off an interesting offseason that included rehabbing from knee surgery cleanup, which he did in jail. He also has a new offensive coordinator. Matt Nagy was willing to feed him gimmicky YAC opportunities, but Eric Bieniemy might prefer to direct some of those throws to Kenneth Walker III or feed the dynamic runner carries instead of pumping short targets to Rice...

Negative signalProjection

Rice's new coordinator and tough Denver matchup set up disappointing Week 1.

The source predicts Rice will struggle in Week 1 against Denver's talented defense, which allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game (21.4) to wide receivers last season. Rice is coming off an interesting offseason that included rehabbing from knee surgery cleanup while in jail. He also has a new offensive coordinator in Eric Bieniemy, who may prefer to direct short targets to Kenneth Walker III or feed the dynamic runner carries instead of pumping short targets to Rice, a departure from Matt Nagy's gimmicky YAC-heavy approach. The source expects Rice and Worthy to be outscored by Jaylen Waddle in Week 1.
