BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3
ANALYSIS: The Kansas City Chiefs are back in action this week following their Week 10 bye. One big question right now: will the team find a way to get rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice more involved in the team's action?
Rice has been very productive, catching four touchdowns this season, including one in the team's most recent game, a 21-14 win over the Dolphins in Germany back in Week 9. However, Rice also finished with a season-low 17 yards and tied his lowest figure for targets and receptions with two.
Rice definitely looks like KC's best wideout, but fantasy managers have to hope that quarterback Patrick Mahomes starts to target him a little more consistently. Good things tend to happen when Rice gets the ball, but two targets in a game just won't really cut it.
Rice appears to be developing into one of Mahomes' top targets and fantasy managers have to hope that trend continues. He's posted his three highest snap rates in the past three games, so the team clearly wants him on the field more.
Rice should be viewed as a WR3 play with upside this week. His floor remains a little too low for him to move up into the WR2 tier, but it wouldn't be shocking to see a huge game from him against the Eagles on Monday night.
