Rashee Rice had another "interesting offseason" where he had a knee scope and spent some time rehabbing from that procedure in a jail cell. Rice hasn't played more than eight games in a season since 2023, so while he has been very productive when he's been on the field over the last two seasons, we still haven't seen him available for a full calendar of football since that season. Last year, when he was on the field, Rice remained a target hog with a 26.2% target share (12th among 109 qualifying receivers), averaging 71.4 receiving yards per game (tenth), producing 2.28 yards per route run (15th), and churning out 0.112 first downs per route run with a 31.9% first-read share (both 14th-best). Rice could see a heavy workload in Week 1, but I don't know that he'll have a ton of productivity with it against a secondary that allowed the second-fewest yards per target and the fewest fantasy points per opportunity to wide receivers last season.

Rashee Rice (knee) logged a full practice session on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

As expected, Rice was able to log a full practice session on Thursday and seems to be set to play in Monday night's game against the Denver Broncos. Despite the tough matchup, he projects to be a good fantasy option in PPR leagues this week, especially with Patrick Mahomes II (knee) likely to be at the helm for Kansas City.
