Rice is a solid WR2, but Zachariason prefers Smith and Flowers at his current cost.

Zachariason ranks Rice as his WR15, noting concerns about his injury recovery and potential offensive changes with Kenneth Walker. He prefers Devante Smith and Zay Flowers over Rice, though he acknowledges Rice's high fantasy production when active.
