From the article

Rice's valuable role from the last few seasons is otherwise gone. A legitimate run game means the Chiefs no longer have to force short targets to Rice, and the numbers back it up. Rice's targets per route run ranked inside the top ten in each of his first three seasons: 0.27, 0.34, and 0.31. That rate is at 0.11 through Week 2, ranking 120th of 145 qualifying receivers. If you can trade him for any top-20 wide receiver, you should.

STACKED’s take

Rice's role collapsed; targets per route run dropped from elite to 120th—trade him.

A different offensive system could end Rice's run as an elite fantasy asset. If you can trade him for any top-20 wide receiver, you should.
