Rashee Rice's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

After six weeks in a row of scoring double-digit PPR fantasy points, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice cooled down in the Divisional Round triumph over the Buffalo Bills for his fewest targets and catches (four) as well as yards (47) since Week 7. Despite being primarily covered by backup cornerback Dane Jackson against Buffalo's injury-ravaged defense, Rice was unable to overcome a low-volume game out of K.C.'s offense in total plays (47). The second-round rookie has a chance to bounce back in Sunday's AFC Championship meeting with the Baltimore Ravens, albeit with a glaring factor working against him. All-Pro safety Kyle Hamilton serves as Baltimore's top slot defender, where Rice regularly resides, allowing just 4.9 yards per completion and 2.6 yards per target over 63 targets in the regular season. Rice will likely need a higher volume passing day from the Chiefs' attack for better results, and he's appropriately priced at $6,500 on DraftKings.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers Rashee Rice (hamstring), Kadarius Toney (hip) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (oblique) all put in full practices on Wednesday as the team began preparing for the AFC Championship this Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. The Chiefs have a challenge on their hands to knock off the top seed in the AFC on the road if they want to repeat as Super Bowl champions. Baltimore's defense isn't going to make it easy on a KC offense that was down a bit in 2023, however, their pass defense took a dip late in the regular season. Rice, who was held to just four catches for 47 yards in the Divisional Round win over Buffalo, will look to bounce back. The 23-year-old rookie is really the only Chiefs pass-catcher not named Travis Kelce that is worth trusting in DFS lineups the rest of the postseason. Toney is hoping to return for the first time since Week 15.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice played more of a supporting role as his team eked out a 27-24 victory over the Buffalo Bills, collecting all four of his targets for 47 yards in Sunday's Divisional Round. Outproduced yardage-wise by the much-maligned Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Rice let out a far cry from his 130-yard effort in last Saturday's wild-card win. Sitting down in the defense's soft spot, Rice provided a 26-yard catch-and-run on his longest play of the evening in the first quarter with quarterback Patrick Mahomes flushed out of the pocket. The rookie second-rounder then made a tough grab in traffic in the red zone during the second period, but it was an otherwise quiet showing out of the 23-year-old wideout. Rice may not have been the focal point that he was in his last time out, but he contributed to the Chiefs' balanced attack on Sunday. He'll aim for more production in next Sunday's AFC title battle with the Baltimore Ravens.

Undeterred by the elements of the fourth-coldest game in NFL history, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice(hamstring) tagged a beat-up Miami Dolphins defense for an 8/130/1 line on 12 targets in last Saturday's wild-card triumph. It was a special postseason debut for the rookie second-rounder, whose ability to rack up yards after the catch from the shorter areas of the field played well in the subzero temperatures. Rice has now passed or tied the scuffling Travis Kelce in targets in each of K.C.'s last seven games, perhaps starting to solidify himself as quarterback Patrick Mahomes' new favorite weapon after fully practicing and heading into Sunday without an injury designation against the Buffalo Bills. Matching up primarily with Rasul Douglas (knee) when these squads squared off in Week 14, Rice got the better of Buffalo's defense for a 7/72/1 output. Rice is the most expensive of K.C.'s skill positions while costing $6,800 on Sunday, but he's earned top-six WR1 treatment on the Divisional Round slate.

Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice averaged only 3.6 air yards per catch during the regular season, which ranked last among 466 receivers with at least 900 yards in a season since at least 2006. But he set a career-high in Week 17 against the Bengals with a 7.6-yard average depth per reception and backed it up with a 6.9-yard average in the win over the Dolphins in the wild-card round. He caught three passes against Miami on passes thrown more than 10 yards past the line of scrimmage -- he made just nine such catches during the regular season. With Rice and quarterback Patrick Mahomes starting to gel down the stretch and into the postseason, it could make their offense much more explosive than it was all year long. Rice's 130 yards against the Dolphins were three more yards than the career-high he set against Cincy in Week 17.
