Rashee Rice

Isiah Pacheco was also a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Both players are good to go for Week 14. Coming off an 8-92-2 receiving line versus Dallas, Rice has cemented his spot near the top of the WR1 ranking. Pacheco, on the other hand, only saw three carries to Kareem Hunt's 14. He cannot be started even in deep fantasy formats.

Fantasy managers knew that drafting Rashee Rice this season came with the guarantee of not being able to use him for the first six weeks. The suspension that Rice served meant that anyone who drafted Rice would have a zero in those six games, plus another in Kansas City's bye. That's half the fantasy regular season with a guarantee of no points. But fantasy managers with risk/reward tolerance also knew that Rice was an elite talent with league-winning upside....we just didn't now how good Rice was going to play.

Rice got the party started with a 29-yard grab on the team's opening possession, tacking on an additional score on fourth-and-three at the start of the fourth quarter on a beautiful catch over a defender in the middle of the end zone. His 12 targets were double the next closest Kansas City skill position player as he continues to operate as the key cog of the offense. Rice will look to keep his torrid stretch going against a much stiffer opponent when the Chiefs take on the Texans in Week 14.

Worthy's six targets tied for second on the team with Travis Kelce but were half of Rashee Rice's team-leading 12 on the evening, something fantasy managers have grown to accept since the talented third-year receiver's return from a six-game suspension to start the season. He'll likely have to overcome modest volume again when the Chiefs take on the Texans in Week 14.

Brown's fourth quarter touchdown was his first road score since the 2022 season while with the Cardinals. He continued to play well behind the top trio of Rashee Rice, Travis Kelce, and Xavier Worthy, keeping him heavily reliant on touchdowns to return usable fantasy weeks. That is unlikely to change ahead of a difficult matchup with the Texans in Week 14.
