Rashee Rice, Justyn Ross To Start As "Package" Players
1 year agoKansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach said on Wednesday that wide receivers Rashee Rice and Justyn Ross will start out as "package" players on offense, but the hope is that they produce enough to graduate and become every-down receivers later in the year. Right now, Skyy Moore is an every-down wideout, and Veach expects a "big jump" for him. Both the rookie Rice and Ross, who has battled back from injuries, are intriguing if they get more snaps in KC's explosive offense, but neither wideout is probably worth anything more than a late-round flier in upcoming fantasy drafts. If the oft-injured Kadarius Toney can't stay healthy, Rice and Ross could become every-down options earlier than expected in 2023.
