According to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, the Kansas City Chiefs are expecting top wide receiver Rashee Rice to be suspended “in the neighborhood of four to six games.” While no suspension has been made official, due to past cases, Rice will likely be suspended for at least a portion of the regular season. Earlier this offseason, Rice was sentenced to five years probation and 30 days of jail time for his involvement in a multi-car crash that occurred in Dallas in 2024. At the start of the 2024 season, Rice emerged as Patrick Mahomes‘ go-to option as he caught 8.0 passes per game with 96.0 yards per game and two total scores through the first three weeks. However, he saw his season cut short due to an LCL tear in Week 4. For the time being, fantasy managers should view Rice as a high-end WR2 but should expect him to miss at least the first month of the season. When he returns, he should once again be heavily targeted by Mahomes in the slot. While he is out, second-year wideout Xavier Worthy and tight end Travis Kelce should lead the passing attack.–Andy Smith
