Rashee Rice
2025 Season Outlooks
Concerns about Rice's serious knee injury seem to be overblown; head coach Andy Reid said he expects him ready for training camp. A looming off-field issue may lead to a suspension one day, but as of this writing it's not in the cards for 2025. Both of those things give Rice high No. 2 WR appeal in full-PPR leagues assuming his target volume doesn't take a major dip. Rice followed up his breakout rookie year with an outstanding four-game average of 7.3 targets and 16.2 PPR points per game until he tore his right LCL, ending his season. So now the big issue facing Rice is the Chiefs receiving corps being deeper than ever, particularly after how Xavier Worthy finished 2024. Brave Fantasy managers will see the value in taking Rice in Round 3 or 4 because his upside as a high-volume pass catcher and touchdown scorer (one every 11.4 catches) is desirable. If you end up with Rice on your team it might be a good move to pair him with another Chiefs receiver (Marquise Brown? Jalen Royals?) to guarantee a contributor in what should remain a quality offense.
Rice is undoubtedly one of the biggest wild cards in fantasy football this season. On one hand, he has been an absolute fantasy superstar since taking on a substantial role midway through his rookie season in 2023. During that span (nine regular-season games), Rice is averaging 19.5 fantasy PPG. In three full games last season, he handled a massive 36% target share (10.7 per game) and averaged 21.6 PPG (17-plus in all three). On the other hand, Rice is suspended for the Chiefs' first six games, he tore his LCL in Week 3 last season and, even when active, he now has legitimate target competition via Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown and Travis Kelce. The good news is that 25-year-old Rice is expected to be fully healthy upon his return and will be a featured target in a good offense. He has WR1 upside, but the suspension knocks him down to midround flier territory.
