The Chiefs are 3-3 in 3rd place in the AFC West. In their attempt to reach the Super Bowl for a 4th straight season, they now get back the highly talented Rashee Rice at wide receiver. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that Rice will go “full bore.”

Much was made of the lack of receiver depth when Xavier Worthy suffered a dislocated shoulder on a crossing route where he collided with teammate Travis Kelce. The injury brought back bad memories from when Rice collided with quarterback Patrick Mahomes on an interception where he hurt his LCL and hamstring. Having been without Rice, the Chiefs offense has ironically been missing some extra juice for fantasy purposes. 

Rice will immediately be in contention as a top-5 WR on a weekly basis as Mahomes has bounced back as the QB1 overall in fantasy football.  Rice gets a juicy home matchup versus the Raiders. If Rashee Rice is on a roster, he needs to be started.
