  • Facing four-month recovery

    Rice is expected to require four months to make a full recovery from the season-ending surgery he underwent Tuesday to repair the LCL in his right knee, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Rice also had his hamstring tendon repaired as part of the surgery, but his MCL, ACL and meniscus were not part of the procedure. The lack of additional structural damage should allow him to make a full recovery in advance of Kansas City's offseason program. While Rice appears set to enter the 2025 season 100 percent healthy, he could still be at risk of a suspension due to the criminal charges he's facing for his involvement in a hit-and-run car crash in Dallas that occurred last March. With a…read more

  • Gets season-ending surgery

    Rice is expected to miss the remainder of the season after he underwent successful surgery Tuesday to address an LCL injury in his right knee, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: NFL reporter Jordan Schultz adds that Rice also had his hamstring tendon repaired as part of the surgery, but the wide receiver didn't have any damage to ACL, MCL or meniscus. While Rice will miss the remainder of the 2024 campaign, the lack of additional structural damage bodes well for the 24-year-old wideout's chances of being ready to go for the start of the 2025 season. Even if he's back to full health however, Rice could still have to serve a suspension due to the criminal charges he's…read more

  • May have only LCL injury

    Rice will require surgery to repair his right LCL, but there's a chance that's the only ligament that needs to be repaired, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Adam Schefter of ESPN echoed Rapoport's report while noting that there was "optimism" that Rice's knee issue isn't as significant as initially believed. Tuesday's procedure will determine the precise nature of the injury and his recovery timeline. It remains unclear if Rice has any chance of returning to action this season, whether by Week 18 or during the playoffs, but he must reside on injured reserve until at least Nov. 10.

  • Getting knee procedure next week

    Rice (knee) will undergo an arthroscopic procedure on his knee Monday, after which the Chiefs are expected to provide an update on the severity of his injury and his next steps, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Rapoport suggests that there is a "[small] glimmer of hope" about the receiver's outlook, which doesn't offer much clarity on Rice's timeline except to indicate that he isn't yet being ruled out for the season. The 24-year-old has already been placed on injured reserve, so regardless of the outcome of the procedure, the earliest he could return to game action is Nov. 10 versus Denver. With Rice out for at least four games, Xavier Worthy, Justin Watson and JuJu Smith-Schuster are likely to lead…read more

  • Lands on IR

    The Chiefs placed Rice (knee) on injured reserve Thursday.

    Analysis: Rice is slated to undergo testing on his right knee next week, after which the Chiefs will have a better idea regarding the severity of the injury he suffered in this past Sunday's win over the Chargers. At the very least, Rice's move to IR ensures that the wideout will miss at least the team's next four games. In Rice's absence, tight end Travis Kelce could take on a heightened role in the passing attack on short and intermediate routes, while wideouts Xavier Worthy, Justin Watson, JuJu…read more

  • Set for further tests next week

    Head coach Andy Reid said Thursday that Rice is slated to undergo further testing on his right knee next week, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

    Analysis: Per Adam Teicher of ESPN.com, the Chiefs are waiting for the swelling in Rice's knee to be reduced before the wideout's upcoming tests are done. The team already has confirmed that Rice won't be available for Monday's game against the Saints, according to Teicher, but beyond that, there's no definitive timeline for his recovery. Initial concerns were that Rice may have torn his right ACL, but for now the team is in "wait and see" mode according to Reid, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star…read more

  • Optimism from Patrick Mahomes

    Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said Wednesday that he hopes Rice (knee) can return soon, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

    Analysis: Early concerns about an ACL tear have given way to a more optimistic tone, although Rice has already been ruled out for Week 5 against the Saints and seems likely to miss additional time. He's still in the process of getting multiple doctors' opinions on the injury to figure out a recovery and rehab plan, which means he isn't totally out of the woods in terms of undergoing surgery and/or requiring a long-term absence. Mahomes mentioned wideouts Justin Watson and JuJu Smith-Schuster and tight…read more

  • Tests still ongoing, out for Week 5

    Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Monday that Rice (knee) will not be available Week 5 against the Saints and that tests have not yet confirmed the severity of his injury, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Kansas City reportedly fears that Rice suffered a torn ACL during Sunday's 17-10 win over the Chargers, but the extent of the standout receiver's issue hasn't yet been fully confirmed. Rice was carted off the field early Sunday as the result of quarterback Patrick Mahomes colliding with his knee, with both players attempting to make a tackle in the aftermath of an interception. A serious injury for Rice would constitute a brutal blow for an offense already thin at the skill positions,…read more

  • Torn ACL feared

    Rice (knee) is feared to have torn his ACL in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Rice will have an MRI on his knee Monday to confirm his injury diagnosis, but if fears of a torn ACL prove true, the injury would be season-ending. The Chiefs already have had injuries to two key skill players on offense, as fellow wide receiver Hollywood Brown (shoulder) is unlikely to play in the regular season and running back Isiah Pacheco (fibula) is in the early portion of a recovery timeline that's expected to stretch 6-to-8 weeks. Rookie first-round pick Xavier Worthy could be asked to…read more

  • Coach pessimistic with MRI upcoming

    Coach Andy Reid said after Sunday's 17-10 win over the Chargers that Rice (knee) will have an MRI on Monday, but the team doesn't expect good news, Tyler Dragon of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Rice was carted off the field after Patrick Mahomes crashed into his knee as both players were attempting to make a tackle after a Mahomes interception. While an official determination won't be available until after the results of Monday's MRI are known, Rice is likely looking at a multi-week absence, and Reid's somber attitude suggests Rice's injury could prove to be season-ending.

  • Could miss time

    When asked by Tracy Wolfson of CBS about the severity of the knee injury Rice sustained Sunday against the Chargers, coach Andy Reid acknowledged that "it's not good," Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Added info regarding Rice's status is destined to arrive after he undergoes testing on his knee. At this stage, however, it looks like he'll be missing some time, and if that's the case, Xavier Worthy and Justin Watson would be among Chiefs wideouts likely to see added opportunities in such a scenario.

  • Won't return Sunday

    Rice (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Analysis: After being carted off the field during the first quarter of the contest, it wasn't long before it was deemed that Rice wouldn't return. The wideout now appears in danger of missing the Chiefs' Oct. 7 contest against the Saints, with added info regarding his status presumably in line to surface after he gets his knee checked out.

  • Injures knee versus Chargers

    Rice was carted to the locker room during the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Chargers after sustaining a knee injury, per Adam Teicher of ESPN.com.

    Analysis: At first glance, this doesn't look good, so Rice's status will need to be monitored closely until more information is known about his injury. In Rice's absence, Xavier Worthy, Justin Watson, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Skyy Moore and Mecole Hardman are available to handle Kansas City's WR duties.

  • Paces KC's offense again

    Rice caught 12 of 15 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown while adding a one-yard run in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Rice once again worked as the clear No. 1 target for Patrick Mahomes, accounting for more than half of Mahomes' 217 passing yards. After connecting for a 44-yard touchdown last week, Rice and Mahomes linked up for a 13-yard touchdown in the second quarter Sunday, and the wide receiver has posted a gaudy 298 receiving yards through three weeks. Rice was briefly shaken up after getting tackled in the third quarter but quickly returned, so he's unlikely to have any physical limitations when the…read more

  • Thriving as Mahomes' WR1

    Rice caught five of six targets for 75 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Most of Rice's production came on a 44-yard touchdown reception down the sideline in the second quarter. He had a 21-yard catch on fourth down erased by a penalty on the game's final possession, but Rice drew a 29-yard pass interference call on the next play to set up Harrison Butker's game-winning 51-yard field goal. Heading into a Week 3 trip to Atlanta for SNF, Rice is the clear top option in a Chiefs wide receiver room that will be without Hollywood Brown (shoulder) for the rest of the…read more

  • Eclipses century mark in win

    Rice secured seven of nine targets for 103 yards in the Chiefs' 27-20 win over the Ravens on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Rice led the Chiefs across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets during the hard-fought season-opening battle. The second-year receiver looked every bit the part of the No. 1 receiver he evolved into as a rookie, and he brought in catches of 11, 16, 19 and 33 yards during the night. Rice looked explosive on each reception and appears well-equipped to build on his strong start against the Bengals in a Week 2 home matchup on Sunday, Sept. 15.

    Rice will lead Kansas City's receiving corps Thursday against the Ravens, while teammate Marquise Brown (shoulder) has been ruled out.

    Analysis: Rice's fantasy stock tumbled after an alleged hit-and-run incident in March led to a slew of legal charges, but he's avoided the commissioner's exempt list and may even avoid a league suspension until 2025. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes shouldn't lack for capable pass catchers even with Brown out of the lineup for a week or two, as the Chiefs also have rookie wideout Xavier Worthy and veteran tight end Travis Kelce available.

  • NFL may let legal process play out

    Rice is not expected to begin the regular season on the commissioner's exempt list, and the NFL will instead make a decision on his status after his legal process has concluded, Mark Maske of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Rice seems unlikely to entirely avoid a suspension for his off-field problems this offseason, but the league isn't expected to intervene until the legal situation pays itself out, which could occur later this year or potentially even be delayed until 2025. He faces eight felony charges in connection with a high-speed, multi-car hit-and-run accident that occurred March 30 in Dallas, including charges of aggravated assault, collision involving serious bodily injury and collision involving injury.…read more

  • Steady in preseason game

    Rice caught four receptions for 35 yards on five targets in Saturday's preseason game against Detroit.

    Analysis: Just as he did in his highly successful 2023 rookie season, Rice primarily operated from the slot and on short routes Saturday. Rice's rare short-area burst allows him to be productive on such looks, and he was close to automatic for the Chiefs on Saturday. It would help Rice's fantasy upside if he could draw some targets downfield as well, but his proficiency at racking up yards after the catch could keep him in a slot role frequently.

  • Should play Saturday

    Rice and other starters are scheduled to play the first half of Saturday's preseason game against Detroit, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Chiefs won't necessarily use all their starters for the entire first half, but they apparently plan to put the first unit out there for far more snaps than other teams tend to be comfortable with. Rice is locked in as a starter and top target for QB Patrick Mahomes, with the biggest question at this point being whether the wideout eventually gets suspended for his off-field problems this offseason. While avoiding a suspension entirely is highly unlikely, there's some chance league…read more

  • Still no word on league discipline

    Chiefs chairman and CEO Clark Hunt said Monday the team hasn't yet held any discussions with the NFL over a possible suspension for Rice, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

    Analysis: Rice is presumably facing a multi-game suspension for his involvement in a high-speed, six-car crash in April in which he was charged with aggravated assault, collision involving serious bodily injury and collision involving injury. He was also allegedly involved in an assault in a nightclub in May, per Toluwani Osibamowo of KCUR.org. Though no charges were filed in the latter incident, Rice could still be subject to related league discipline. The second-year wideout was a full participant in…read more

  • Likely to be suspended

    Rice is likely facing a multi-game suspension for his involvement in a car crash in late March, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

    Analysis: Rice left the scene of a six-car accident on a Dallas highway and now faces charges for aggravated assault, collision involving serious bodily injury and collision involving injury. While he figures to be suspended at some point, the NFL typically allows legal processes to play out before doling out league punishment, which means it's possible Rice is on the field come Week 1.

    Analysis: The report adds that Rice now faces eight counts -- aggravated assault, collision involving serious bodily injury and six counts of collision involving injury -- as a result of the incident, which left four people with minor injuries. Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the league has been closely monitoring developments regarding the incident, with previous reports relaying that Rice intended to continue to cooperate with the necessary authorities.

  • Cooperating with police

    Rice's attorney said Monday that the wide receiver is cooperating with police after a vehicle registered to him was involved in a multi-car crash Saturday evening, Jamie Stengle of The Associated Press reports.

    Analysis: It isn't yet clear if Rice was in one of the two cars responsible for causing a six-car crash. If so, he could face criminal charges, as drivers and passengers from a Lamborghini SUV and a Corvette allegedly left the scene of the accident without providing information or seeing if anyone needed medical attention. The crash isn't believed to have involved any serious injuries, though two occupants of another vehicle were taken to a hospital for further attention.

According to Kelli Smith and R.J. Coyle of The Dallas Morning News, a vehicle involved in the collision is believed to be registered or leased to the Kansas City receiver, though the report also notes that Rice didn't appear in Dallas County jail records as of Sunday, and it's also unclear whether he's facing charges.

  • Six catches in Super Bowl

    Rice recorded six receptions (on eight targets) for 39 yards in Sunday's 25-22 overtime win over the 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII. He added two rushes for five yards.

    Analysis: Rice finished second on the team in targets behind Travis Kelce, which turned into an uninspiring yardage total. However, Rice notched a pair of impactful receptions on the Chiefs' game-winning drive in overtime, the latter of which was a 13-yard gain on third down to get the offense into 49ers territory. The effort concluded a strong second half of the season for the rookie pass catcher, as he commanded at least eight targets in eight of Kansas City's last 10 games including playoffs. Rice…read more

    Rice (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's Super Bowl matchup with the 49ers.

    Analysis: The rookie sandwiched full practices Wednesday and Friday around a limited session Thursday. He was initially listed with one ankle injury and now is listed with both, but it seems neither is bad enough to threaten his availability for the big game. Rice has been Kansas City's clear No. 1 WR since mid-season, routinely leading the group in snaps, routes, targets and yards while the other guys mostly have rotated.

    Rice was a limited practice participant Thursday due to injured ankles.

    Analysis: Until Thursday's practice report, Rice was listed as a full participant with an ankle issue, but the Chiefs expanded that to the plural ankles just three days before Super Bowl LVIII. The rookie wide receiver thus will have one more chance to return to all activity or else potentially be in danger of heading into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

  • Garners nine targets in win

    Rice had eight receptions (on nine targets) for 46 yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Ravens in the AFC Championship Game.

    Analysis: Rice finished second in receiving for Kansas City behind tight end Travis Kelce (11-116-1) while logging his fifth game of eight-plus receptions dating back to the team's bye in Week 11 of the regular season. The second-round rookie actually produced one less yard than he did against the Bills in the AFC divisional round despite doubling his reception total from that win.

  • Held to 47 yards

    Rice recorded four receptions on four targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Bills.

    Analysis: Rice had his opportunity curtailed by the Chiefs' overall volume, as the team ran only 47 offensive plays compared to 78 for the Bills. As a result, he saw his lowest target total since Week 9, and he failed to surpass 50 receiving yards for the first time since Week 11. Rice will face another tough test in the AFC Championship Game, as he'll square off against a Baltimore secondary that allowed the ninth-fewest yards to opposing wide receivers.

  • Big performance in wild-card round

    Rice recorded eight receptions on 12 targets for 130 yards and one touchdown in Saturday's 26-7 win over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Rice was the Chiefs' top pass catcher by any measure Saturday. He kicked off the scoring with an 11-yard touchdown reception on the team's first offensive possession, and he also chipped in three receptions of at least 20 yards. With the performance, he now has at least 90 receiving yards in four of his last seven games. Rice suffered a brief injury scare early in the third quarter but was able to return to the game and should be ready to go for Kansas City's divisional-round matchup.

Even if he hadn't been nursing the injury, Rice may have played only limited snaps, as the AFC West champs opted to rest other key contributors such as quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce while the team was locked in as the No. 3 seed in the conference.

  • Sidelined for practice Wednesday

    Rice won't practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

    Analysis: Rice wasn't known to be tending to an injury coming out of this past Sunday's 25-17 win over the Bengals, during which he recorded five catches for 127 yards. Though his lack of activity to begin Week 18 prep isn't ideal, Rice will be a candidate to sit out this Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Chargers or see a reduced workload regardless of his health. Kansas City is locked in as the No. 3 seed in the playoffs no matter what happens in Week 18, so the team's main goal for Sunday will…read more

  • Second 100-yard performance

    Rice recorded five receptions on six targets for 127 yards in Sunday's 25-17 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Despite having targets split fairly evenly across several pass catchers, Rice emerged as the top pass catcher for the Chiefs in Sunday's win. His most impactful play of the game was a 67-yard catch down the right sideline late in the third quarter when he got behind the Bengals' secondary to help set up a field goal. That play also marked Rice's longest gain of the season and helped him to his second 100-yard performance in his last six contests. He also has three touchdowns in that span.

  • Sets franchise record Monday

    Rice caught six of 12 targets for 57 yards in Monday's 20-14 loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: The rookie saw a season high in targets and led Kansas City in catches and receiving yards, but Patrick Mahomes didn't have enough time in the pocket to let many downfield routes develop for Rice. The wideout still hauled in enough passes to set a new franchise rookie record for receptions in a season, with his 74 (and counting) surpassing Dwayne Bowe's 70 catches from 2007. Rice also has 811 yards, giving him an outside chance at breaking Bowe's record of 995 from that same season, but he'll…read more

  • Finds end zone in Week 15 win

    Rice caught all nine of his targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: The rookie has completed his transformation into Patrick Mahomes' favorite wideout, leading Kansas City in targets, catches and receiving yards, but Rice's TD reception Sunday came on an Andy Reid special in the red zone -- Jerick McKinnon took a direct snap and flipped it to the crossing Rice for an easy score. The 2023 second-round pick has scored in consecutive games for the first time, and over the last four contests he's amassed a 32-334-3 line on 38 targets. Rice will look to keep rolling…read more

  • Hauls in sixth TD

    Rice caught seven of 10 targets for 72 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: The rookie wideout led Kansas City in catches and tied Travis Kelce for the team lead in targets, although the tight end produced more yardage. Rice scored his sixth TD of the season on a four-yard strike from Patrick Mahomes late in the third quarter, and he's caught at least seven passes in three straight games -- his three highest-volume performances of the year, a stretch in which Rice has delivered a 23-243-2 line on 29 targets. Kansas City's emerging No. 1 receiver will look to keep…read more

  • Continues to emerge

    Rice recorded eight receptions on nine targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: Rice led the team in targets for the second consecutive week and has combined to see 19 opportunities in that span. While Sunday's performance wasn't his most efficient, he still managed to reach 60 yards for the fourth time in his last seven games after doing so only once in his first five contests of the campaign. Rice should emerge as a key contributor down the stretch, particularly in games during which the Chiefs experience more offensive success. That should be the case in Week 14 against…read more

  • First 100-yard game of career

    Rice finished with eight receptions for 107 yards and a touchdown off of 10 targets in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Rice put it all together for his best performance as a pro against the Raiders on Sunday. The second-round rookie finished as the Chiefs' leading receiver while recording the first game with 100 or more receiving yards of his career. Rice was already separating himself from the pack as star quarterback Patrick Mahomes' No. 2 option behind Travis Kelce prior to Sunday's breakout, so make sure Rice isn't sitting on the fantasy waiver wire as Kansas City prepares to face Green Bay next Sunday.

  • Four catches in losing effort

    Rice secured four of five targets for 42 yards in the Chiefs' 21-17 loss to the Eagles on Monday night.

    Analysis: Rice finished third in receptions, receiving yards and targets during another serviceable yet unremarkable performance. The rookie is up to a 36-420-4 line through 10 games, numbers that arguably qualify as above average in a passing attack that is notorious for spreading the wealth among its deep group of skill-position assets. Rice has at least four grabs in five of the last six contests heading into a Week 12 road divisional clash versus the Raiders.

  • Salvages day with TD

    Rice caught both his targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: The receiving yards were his lowest of the season, but the rookie wideout still made an impact by taking a screen pass from Patrick Mahomes for an 11-yard TD in the first quarter. Rice has three of his four touchdowns on the season in the last five games as he emerges as Mahomes' most reliable option not named Travis Kelce, and his target volume could begin to rise coming out of Kansas City's Week 10 bye.

  • Finishes second in yards for KC

    Rice caught four of five targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 24-9 loss to Denver.

    Analysis: Rice finished second in receiving for the Chiefs behind Travis Kelce (6-58-0) in a rare game during which star quarterback Patrick Mahomes failed to throw a touchdown pass and turned the ball over three times. The rookie wideout is proving to be a reliable target with a 77 percent catch rate through eight weeks. Rice's production has gradually increased as he earns more of his quarterback's trust with each passing week, making him an upside play heading into a potential shootout against Miami…read more

  • Another touchdown in Week 7 win

    Rice brought in five of six targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 31-17 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

    Analysis: The rookie continued his recent ascension, scoring his second touchdown in three game on a six-yard grab just before the midway point of the second quarter. Rice also eclipsed the 50-yard mark through the air for the second straight week while pushing his reception total over the last three games to a solid 13 catches. Rice's numbers are especially encouraging in the context of a Chiefs offense that spreads the ball around to a robust amount of players, and he'll look to keep the momentum going…read more

  • Encouraging numbers in Week 6 win

    Rice brought in all four targets for 72 yards in the Chiefs' 19-8 win over the Broncos on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Rice finished second in receiving yards on the night for the Chiefs with a figure that was also his best over the first six games of his career. The speedy rookie has been fairly consistent in a passing game that runs first and foremost through Travis Kelce and often spreads the ball around pretty widely otherwise, recording at least three receptions in all but one contest and snagging a pair of touchdowns. Rice has logged five or more targets on four occasions as well, giving him plenty of…read more

  • Grabs TD in Week 5 win

    Rice caught four of five targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Vikings.

    Analysis: The rookie wideout was on the other end of an eight-yard TD strike from Patrick Mahomes early in the third quarter to break open a 13-13 halftime tie. It's the second score of Rice's career so far, but the 2023 second-round pick still has yet to reach 60 receiving yards in a game as Mahomes continues to spread the ball around. Rice could hit paydirt again in Week 6 against a Broncos secondary that's already given up six TDs to wide receivers through five games.

  • Finishes second in targets Sunday

    Rice had three catches on five targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Rice finished with a pedestrian stat line in a rare down game from Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City's aerial attack. The defending Super Bowl champions still got the win, and the rookie wideout maintained his role as one of the team's primary options behind star tight end Travis Kelce. Rice's five targets only trailed Kelce's nine, which shows the trust Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid have in him just four games into his pro career. Rice's next chance to grow that trust -- and in turn, his role…read more

  • Narrowly misses TD

    Rice caught five of seven targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 41-10 win over Chicago.

    Analysis: Rice appeared to have scored the second touchdown of his young career on a 14-yard reception early in the second quarter, but replay review overturned the score, and Clyde Edwards-Helaire punched it in on the ensuing play. It was still a strong performance from Rice, who finished second behind Travis Kelce in receptions, targets and yardage Sunday. Patrick Mahomes likes to spread the ball around to his auxiliary targets, so it's tough to predict this kind of workload every week. That said, Rice…read more

  • Two grabs in win

    Rice secured both of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Rice played just 12 of the Chiefs' 67 offensive snaps, behind fellow wideouts Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Skyy Moore, Justin Watson and Kadarius Toney. The rookie second-round pick found the end zone in his NFL debut in Week 1, but his snap share took a dip in Week 2. Fantasy managers hoping for a breakout should temper expectations going forward, as Patrick Mahomes is spreading the ball around and Rice's limited usage should cap his potential. It's possible the 23-year-old could see his playing…read more

  • Scores in NFL debut

    Rice brought in three of five targets for 29 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for minus-3 yards in the Chiefs' 21-20 loss to the Lions on Thursday night.

    Analysis: The rookie found a way to make an immediate impact, recording a one-yard touchdown grab early in the second quarter for the Chiefs' first points of the new season. Rice finished tied for second in receptions and for the lead in targets on a night where Patrick Mahomes spread the ball around to 11 different players in the absence of Travis Kelce (knee). Therefore, it's difficult to gauge exactly how much volume he might see during a Week 2 road matchup against the Jaguars a week from Sunday if…read more

  • Starting in bench role

    Chiefs general manager Brett Veach suggested Wednesday that Rice will start the season as a part-time player, Jesse Newell of The Kansas City Star reports.

    Analysis: Veach used the term "package player" to describe Rice and Justyn Ross, while 2022 second-round pick Skyy Moore was said to have earned an "every-down" role. Rice, a 2023 second-round selection, had the fifth-most receiving yards (155) in the NFL this preseason, but he spent significant time playing with backups and dropped two or three passes in the Chiefs' final exhibition. His role for Week 1 against the Lions partially depends on the health of Kadarius Toney's knee, with Moore and Marquez…read more

  • Ends preseason poorly

    Rice recorded three receptions on six targets for 29 yards in Saturday's 33-32 preseason win over the Browns.

    Analysis: The good news about Rice's performance is that he was open and commanded targets, as he tied for the team lead with six looks. The bad news is that he failed to take advantage of that opportunity due to drops, with one being a potentially long touchdown down the right sideline. Rice has primarily been impressive in the first summer of his professional career, though it appears he'll enter the season behind Kadarius Toney (knee), Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Skyy Moore in priority for targets.

  • Spectacular showing in win

    Rice brought in eight of nine targets for 96 yards in the Buccaneers' 38-10 preseason win over the Cardinals on Saturday night. He also fumbled once but recovered.

    Analysis: The rookie second-round pick enjoyed a breakout performance, especially by preseason standards. Rice's receiving line comfortably led the Chiefs across the board, and only one of his receptions actually came in conjunction with Patrick Mahomes. Rice's big workload isn't necessarily a reflection of what might be expected during the regular season, but as he demonstrated Saturday, he certainly has no shortage of upside in a Mahomes-helmed offense that spreads the ball around.

  • Makes three grabs

    Rice caught three of four targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 26-24 preseason loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Rice's first catch came from Blaine Gabbert on Kansas City's second drive of the game. Although only Nikko Remigio made more receptions for the Chiefs than Rice, the rookie second-rounder dropped a pass and committed a false start during his time on the field. With Kadarius Toney (knee) likely sidelined for the preseason, Rice will strive to eliminate mistakes and continue pushing for more action in next Sunday's exhibition contest versus the Cardinals.

  • Helps fill in for Toney

    In the wake of the knee injury Kadarius Toney sustained Sunday, Nate Taylor of the Athletic relays that Rice has seen increased work with the Chiefs' first-team offense.

    Analysis: Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy said Rice has "made incremental improvements" each day, with Taylor noting that the 2023 second-rounder has seen the most first-team reps of any Chiefs wide receiver since Toney injured his knee. Given that Toney's Week 1 availability is up in the air, Rice has multiple paths to significant paying time early in his rookie season. Marquez Valdes-Scantling is the team's only returning starter from last year in the WR room, joined by Skyy Moore, Richie James, Justin…read more

  • Should see more opportunities

    Rice could see a bigger role during training camp while Kadarius Toney (knee) is sidelined, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Rice was picked 55th overall in the 2023 NFL Draft, after Kansas City traded up nine spots to grab him. In his last season at SMU, the physical wideout racked up 96 receptions for 1,355 yards and 10 touchdowns. Toney has an uncertain recovery timeline from his partially torn meniscus, which paves the way for other options like Rice to try and establish some chemistry with Patrick Mahomes.
