Pat Fitzmaurice argues Rasheed Rice is ranked too high at WR12/13, citing the Chiefs' offensive decline over the last three years (yards per play dropped from top-5 to 25th) and the likelihood of a more run-heavy approach following the investment in Kenneth Walker.

Rice should be the Chiefs' projected target leader, though durability is a concern given he's played only 12 games in each of the last two seasons.PositiveRoleJul 9, 2026
The source expects Rasheed Rice to be available for the Chiefs starting in week one. When Rice and Kelce are on the field together, Rice gets more targets; Rice was second in red zone targets per game last year when on the field, indicating he will be a primary red-zone target and will compete heavily for target share and scoring opportunities.PositiveBustJun 25, 2026
Rice has missed 22 regular-season games in the last two years due to suspension and injury; at ECR 27 overall, there is no discount this year. Xavier Worthy could be a bigger threat to his role after a strong second-half rookie year, and the Chiefs signed Kenneth Walker to run the ball more, potentially reducing Rice's role in the passing game. Safer options exist at the round-two/three turn.PositiveProjectionJun 12, 2026
