Yahoo Fantasy Football on Rashee Rice
From the article
Rice scored a 13-yard touchdown, bouncing off two defenders on a 1-on-1 'screen.' He only had six receiving yards on 26 non-screen routes, however...His 3.3 expected half-PPR points (WR88) and 8% target share has to be nerve-racking for Round 3 drafters...The Colts were gashed in Week 1, but they did play the most man coverage (56%) and that's exactly what gives Rice issues.
STACKED’s take
Rice's screen-dependent production and man-coverage struggles limit upside vs. Colts.
Rice scored 13-yard touchdown on 1-on-1 screen but had only six receiving yards on 26 non-screen routes. Chiefs offense flipped: had 58% neutral pass rate over past three seasons, then 48% in Week 1 with Kenneth Walker dominating, which will hurt Rice's PPR-scam ability. Pass game remained dink-and-dunk. Rice's 3.3 expected half-PPR points (WR88) and 8% target share is nerve-racking for Round 3 drafters. Health is unclear after second knee surgery this offseason, though he looked fine. Colts played most man coverage (56%) in Week 1, which gives Rice issues. 2025 third-round SCB Justin Walley made debut after injury and it didn't go well. Chiefs projected for 26.5 points (sixth) at home. Projection: 53.5 receiving yards.
