The source argues that writing off Rashee Rice is premature, noting he remains third in the NFL in YAC and recently saw a 41% targets-per-route-run rate. His role has evolved to include more intermediate targets, with 32% of his targets coming between 10-19 yards this year compared to 19% last year, which enhances his potential as a YAC threat.

Episode Transcript
0:00Mahomes is doing the stuff that we were
0:02begging Andy Reid to do for years and
0:04it's I don't know if it just took
0:05Kenneth Walker to do this, but I mean
0:07he's on pace, man, to have his his
0:09highest yards per pass attempt since
0:102019. He's on pace to have his highest
0:12completion rate ever. He's playing under
0:14center at a career high rate. He's using
0:16play action at a career high rate. Like
0:18the Chiefs are finally doing the stuff.
0:20Like And it's made everyone better
0:22except for Xavier Worthy.
0:24Uh like I would even argue it's made
0:26Rashee Rice a better player. Now, not
0:27for fantasy football.
0:29>> Not for fantasy football because we're
0:30not getting the 12 target like stuff at
0:32the line of scrimmage. But when you look
0:33at Rashee Rice, like I think his burial
0:35also is premature. Like he's over 2
0:37yards per hour.
0:38>> premature.
0:39>> He's third in YAC. He's third in YAC in
0:41the NFL. Like obviously you're not going
0:43to recoup the value that like the
0:45investment was, but
0:46>> I don't think that's true.
0:47>> Maybe not, yeah, but you
0:49>> I mean, it's worth talking about. He had
0:51a 41% targets per hour on last week. I I
0:53think Rice has
0:55I don't like it
0:56this role puts
0:58he has to be better to hit in this role.
1:01Like if you're just going to scam a guy
1:03targets, he's going to get there unless
1:04he absolutely sucks.
1:06But his ADoTs moved downfield a little
1:08bit. He was at 7.4 last week, but he
1:10gets targeted at 41% rate.
1:12Like his ADoTs to start the year to
1:14start his career have been 5, 5.2, 4.9.
1:18Currently he's at 7.0, which is shallow,
1:21but it's like kind of more in like a
1:22real wide receiver rate like, you know,
1:24slot receiver kind of range.
1:26If he can earn targets at a high rate
1:28and he's actually getting a mix of
1:30intermediate targets, which he actually
1:33is now at a much higher rate. Uh this
1:35year five of his 16 targets, that's 32%,
1:38have been between 10 and 19 yards. He
1:40was at just 19%
1:42last year. So,
1:43get me some more He He's a good YAC
1:45player. So, if that YAC starts 10-plus
1:47yards downfield, that's good.
