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

The Kansas City Chiefs have ruled out wide receivers Rashee Rice (hamstring) and Kadarius Toney (hip) for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Los Angeles Chargers. With the No. 3 seed in the AFC already locked up, the Chiefs will also be resting quarterback Patrick Mahomes and offensive tackle Donovan Smith (neck). It means that a Chiefs offense that has been less than stellar this year is going to be even weaker for a meaningless contest this weekend against the Bolts. The 23-year-old Rice should be good to go for the wild-card round next week. Toney, meanwhile, will miss his third straight game, although he, too, should be ready to roll next week for the start of the postseason. With Rice and Toney out on Sunday, Justin Watson, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Mecole Hardman Jr, Justyn Ross and Richie James should all be more involved.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers Kadarius Toney (hip) and Rashee Rice (hamstring) will not take part in the team's practice on Thursday. Toney returned to a limited practice on Wednesday, while Rice has now missed the first two practices of the week. With the Chiefs locked into the No. 3 seed in the AFC for the playoffs, they have already announced that they are resting star quarterback Patrick Mahomes and they could rest more players, especially injured ones like Toney and Rice. The 23-year-old Rice got off to a slow start in his first NFL season but has come on strong and has been a must-start fantasy wideout in the second half of the season. If he doesn't play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Los Angeles Chargers, Rice will end up with 79 receptions for 938 yards and seven touchdowns. Receivers Justin Watson and Marquez Valdes-Scantling and others could be in line for big workloads if Rice and Toney are held out.

Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice (hamstring) will not practice with the rest of the team on Wednesday, according to head coach Andy Reid. It's unclear how serious Rice's hamstring injury is, but even if it's not very serious and he's able to play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, the impressive 23-year-old pass-catcher will be a candidate to be rested. The Chiefs have locked up the No. 3 seed for the playoffs and are already going to be sitting star quarterback Patrick Mahomes for this one. Rice has emerged as KC's clear leading receiver in his first year in the NFL, but he's trending toward being a volatile fantasy option this weekend with the Chiefs having nothing to play for.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice enjoyed a career day in Sunday's 25-17 win over the visiting Cincinnati Bengals, racking up the most receiving yards (127) of his rookie year. Despite his fewest receptions (five) and targets (six) since Week 11, Rice paced the Chiefs in Week 17 receiving with three times the total of their next leading receiver. Fantasy managers' eyes did not deceive them when Rice came down with just his fifth deep target of the year on a 67-yard Patrick Mahomes touch pass in the third quarter for both his and K.C.'s longest play from scrimmage of the season. The 23-year-old second-round pick will have a great opportunity to cap off an extremely encouraging Year 1 with a bang and a 1,000-yard campaign under his belt in Week 18 against the Los Angeles Chargers, who he dropped a tidy 5/60/1 receiving line on back in late October.
