Fantasy Football Player Notes

Rashee Rice's fantasy value is hanging on by a delicate string. Through two games, he is the WR29 in fantasy points per game, but without a score in Week 1, he would be struggling, and the fantasy community would be collectively freaking out. Rice's stranglehold on targets in the Kansas City offense has evaporated. He has a 9.5% target share... yes, you read that correctly. Rice also has only 1.62 YPRR, a 13.7% first-read share, and two red zone targets. Rice has a nice matchup this week, but he's only a flex play with the concerning usage. Miami has allowed the 14th-most yards per target and the seventh-most fantasy points per target to slot receivers.

Xavier Worthy has been the Chiefs' real WR2 behind Travis Kelce this season with a 17.6% target share, 0.61 YPRR, four red zone targets, a 25.5% first-read share, and two deep targets. He hasn't turned the usage into much production, as the WR39 in fantasy points per game, but it's possible he changes that this week. Worthy is a decent flex play again this week against a secondary that ranks 16th in yards per target allowed to perimeter wide receivers.
