Footballguys on Rashee Rice
From the article
Rashee Rice underwent a clean-up procedure to remove loose debris in his right knee. The Chiefs love to use him in motion, on screens, and with targets near the line of scrimmage. Look for Mahomes to get the ball out quickly to Rice, who last season ranked fourth in targets per game (9.8), fifth in receptions per game (6.6).
STACKED’s take
Rice's quick-game role suits Mahomes' injury situation; ranked 4th in targets per game.
Rashee Rice underwent a clean-up procedure to remove loose debris in his right knee and had to rehab while in jail, making his health and ability to come out of the gate hot question marks. However, the Chiefs love to use him in motion, on screens, and with targets near the line of scrimmage to let him use his yards-after-catch ability. The matchup sets up well for that elite fantasy usage: with Josh Simmons likely out, Mahomes making his post-ACL debut, and the Broncos defense having 11 more sacks than any other team last season, look for Mahomes to get the ball out quickly to Rice. Last season Rice ranked fourth in targets per game (9.8), fifth in receptions per game (6.6), 11th in receiving yards per game (71.4), and 15th in yards per route run (2.15).
