Yahoo Sports NFL on Rashee Rice
From the article
Rice only had 3.3 expected half PPR points in Week 1 and back-doored into an okay showing in Week 2 with a "free" explosive with no time remaining, but last week was a real sign of life. He has 12.1 expected half PPR points (WR24) on eight targets. A couple of them were designed looks, while others were easy completions underneath against an inexperienced Dolphins defense. Rice doesn't look fully healthy on tape, yet he's playing at a high enough level to be a must-start fantasy asset with Patrick Mahomes looking great.
STACKED’s take
WR24 projection; 12.1 expected points last week; must-start with 19% target share
Ranked WR24 with 54.5 projected receiving yards at LV. Rice only had 3.3 expected half PPR points in Week 1 and back-doored into okay showing in Week 2 with free explosive with no time remaining, but last week was real sign of life with 12.1 expected half PPR points (WR24) on eight targets. Couple were designed looks, others easy completions underneath against inexperienced Dolphins defense. Rice doesn't look fully healthy on tape yet playing at high enough level to be must-start fantasy asset with Patrick Mahomes looking great. Key for Rice will be Chiefs going away from Weeks 1-2 manufactured targets to Xavier Worthy and Kenneth Walker—those didn't happen in Week 3 when Rice broke out. Rice has 19% target share through three weeks; hopefully this WR23 on WR50 usage is the floor.
