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

The moment was not too big for Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice in Saturday's postseason debut, shining for eight receptions (12 targets), 130 yards, and one touchdown in the 26-7 wild-card triumph over the Miami Dolphins. It was an electric performance out of Rice, who gobbled up six of his eight passes for 92 yards in the first half and racked up 39 of them courtesy of a catch-and-run on third-and-long right before halftime. Rice made no mistake from 11 yards away for a score on K.C.'s opening drive. With Saturday's showing, the dynamic 23-year-old set a Chiefs rookie record for most receiving yards in a playoff game. Rice shared after the contest that he was fine after tweaking his ankle in the third quarter. With that said, the second-rounder's practice status will still be worth monitoring leading into next weekend's Divisional duel either in Orchard Park against the Buffalo Bills or at Arrowhead Stadium versus the Houston Texans.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was perhaps one of fantasy's most rewarding forward-thinking holds of 2023. Though it took Rice time to carve out his featured role, he appeared to be K.C.'s most dangerous wideout long before taking the league by storm with 7.2 catches (9.3 targets) for 86.3 yards per game and three total touchdowns in his final six games. The second-rounder ranked as fantasy's overall WR8 in PPR scoring over this span, entering Saturday's playoff debut versus the Miami Dolphins with plenty of momentum. Those playing Rice in DFS will likely be relying on his third-most yards after catch (654) and seventh-most red-zone targets (22) among WRs this year. The Fins held Rice to his season worst with 17 yards in Week 9, but he was able to find the end zone in that one. Rice does most of his damage with the ball in his hands starting at or around the line of scrimmage, so forecasted windy conditions may not hamper him all that much.

After putting in three full practices this week, Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice (hamstring) was removed from the final injury report and will play on Saturday evening in his first career postseason contest against the Miami Dolphins. The 23-year-old was held out of the Week 18 win over the Los Angeles Chargers as a precaution but will return this weekend to be quarterback Patrick Mahomes' most trusted aerial weapon besides tight end Travis Kelce. Rice is reasonably priced on DraftKings this weekend at a salary of $6,600 and has one of the better matchups during wild-card weekend for a receiver going up against a Dolphins defense that has been absolutely bombarded by injuries over the last several weeks.

Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice (hamstring) put in a second straight day with a full practice on Wednesday after the Chiefs held him out of the Week 18 regular season finale against the Los Angeles Chargers as a precaution. The 23-year-old probably could have played last week, but the Chiefs chose to hold their leading receiver out in a meaningless game. He'll return for this Saturday's wild-card contest versus the visiting Miami Dolphins and their beat up defense. Rice will be pretty attractive at his $6,600 DraftKings price as quarterback Patrick Mahomes' top target (besides Travis Kelce). The Dolphins will be without cornerback Xavien Howard (foot) and potentially two of their safeties as well for this one.

Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice (hamstring) practiced in full on Tuesday and looks ready to play in his first career postseason contest on Saturday against the visiting Miami Dolphins. Marquez Valdes-Scantling (oblique) was also a full participant. The Chiefs chose to rest their leading receiver in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Los Angeles Chargers with the No. 3 seed already locked up. After a slow start in his rookie campaign, the 23-year-old eventually became quarterback Patrick Mahomes' go to receiver, other than tight end Travis Kelce. He finished with 79 receptions, 938 yards and seven touchdowns and will be plenty attractive in DFS with a DraftKings price of $6,600 while going up against a banged-up Dolphins secondary in wild-card weekend. Valdes-Scantling should be ignored.
