Chiefs View Rashee Rice As JuJu-Smith-Schuster Replacement
2 years agoKansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice will be tasked with helping replace JuJu Smith-Schuster, who departed to join the New England Patriots this offseason. Chiefs general manager Brett Veach said "We did lose JuJu..... it makes sense to find a guy who can do a lot of things (JuJu) can do on the inside. He's almost a running back after the catch." Rice caught 96 passes for 1,355 yards and 10 touchdowns last season at SMU before being selected in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft by Kansas City. Veach also mentioned Skyy Moore as a player to watch, but if Rice is viewed as the starting slot receiver, he could have a big fantasy impact as a rookie.
