From the article

His average route depth was a career-high 8.1 yards — a FAR cry from what we've seen in previous years. The underlying separation numbers were also brutal. Rice saw at least seven targets in every game last season; we shouldn't assume *two* is the new normal, but for now a drop in the ranks to low-end WR2 territory is warranted.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Career-high route depth, poor separation, and two targets signal Rice decline.

Despite scoring a 13-yard TD, Rice's Week 1 was concerning: average route depth was a career-high 8.1 yards (far from previous years), underlying separation numbers were brutal, and he saw just two targets after averaging at least seven per game last season; the Chiefs also dropped from +6% dropback rate over expected (2nd in 2025) to -1% (17th) in Week 1, warranting a drop to low-end WR2 territory.
