Yahoo Fantasy Football on Rashee Rice

Rice faces elite Broncos pass defense and rusty Mahomes; sit Week 1.

Rice faces a difficult Week 1 matchup against the Broncos, who boasted one of the best defenses in football last year, particularly against the pass, where they allowed the lowest success rate (38.5%) on dropbacks of any defense. Rice likely will be facing off against 2024 Defensive Player of the Year Patrick Surtain II on most of his routes. Additionally, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is making his first start back from a torn ACL and LCL he suffered last December, potentially rusty. The Chiefs are emphasizing their run game with the signing of reigning Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker. The source recommends benching Rice in Week 1.
