BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 45% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Rashee Rice should be added in all leagues. Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Skyy Moore have struggled mightily through six weeks of the season. Moore is averaging just 3.5 targets, 1.8 receptions, and 24 yards per game. MVS is even worse, averaging 2.0 targets, 1.1 receptions, and 19 yards per game.
These two receivers lead the team in snaps played and routes run. Rice, on the other hand, is averaging 4.6 targets, 3.5 receptions, and 41 yards per game.
Rice has accomplished this on roughly 33% of the team's dropbacks through six weeks. MVS and Moore have had over double that level of opportunity. What happens when head coach Andy Reid flips the playing time between Rice and Moore?
Rashee Rice has been asked to be a zone-beating, yards after the catch receiver after being a “ball-winning specialist” coming out of SMU. His explosiveness is real. We haven’t even seen the full route tree from him. pic.twitter.com/dAn2m4y6F6

In Week 6, Rice's route participation finally started moving in the right direction, climbing above 50%. Rice's role may not fully expand until Week 11 following the team's Week 10 bye, but considering his level of production on such a limited snap count combined with how poorly MVS and Moore performed, it seems to only be a matter of time before Rice is given a chance to showcase what he can do. Based on what we've seen in a limited sample, fantasy managers should be excited about that prospect.
