Rashee Rice

Rice may be a great fantasy receiver, but last week we saw the issue of the Chiefs not having a true WR1 against the Texans. In a massive game for their playoff hopes, the Chiefs were dominated by the Texans' defense. Unfortunately, the road doesn't get a lot easier as they face the Chargers in Week 15. The Chargers have allowed teh fourth fewest fantasy points to opposing WRs over the last five weeks. Averaging less than 100 yards and 0.4 toucdowns per game to receivers, this defense is likely salivating at the chance to put the Chiefs' playoff hopes to bed. As Patrick Mahomes' top target, he will always see enough volume to come through for fantasy. Start him as a low-end WR1 this week.

Rashee Rice caught four of eight targets for 34 yards in the Chiefs’ 20-10 loss to the Texans.

Fantasy Impact

Rice had a pass broken up and a bad drop in this game as well. He’s been great since returning from suspension this year, and this is likely just a blip on the radar thanks to an elite defense.
