Eight targets. That's it. Rice has turned those opportunities into 22.2 PPR points despite just 12.91 expected points. That production has covered up what has been a pretty underwhelming workload for a receiver drafted this high.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Rice's 8 targets in 2 games signal role decline despite 22.2 PPR points.

Rice has 22.2 PPR points through two games with a touchdown in Week 1 and 83 yards in Week 2, but only eight targets total. His actual production (22.2 PPR) has masked an underwhelming workload, outperforming his 12.91 expected points. In Week 2, Kansas City had 51 dropbacks and 382 passing yards; Travis Kelce got 11 targets, Kenneth Walker 10, Xavier Worthy seven, and Rice just six. The concern is that targets were available in an efficient passing game, but Rice wasn't commanding enough of them, indicating a role decline for a high draft pick.
