Rice secured five of seven targets for 49 yards in the Chiefs' 35-12 win over the Jets on Sunday.
Rice led the Chiefs in targets while finishing as the runner-up in both receptions and receiving yards. The veteran receiver has been busy the last two games while turning 15 targets into a 12-102-1 line, but he has just one catch of 20-plus yards in that span. Rice is averaging a relatively modest 11.7 yards per catch heading into a Week 10 road matchup against the Falcons.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Full participant Thursday
Rotowire
Rice (hamstring/knee) practiced without limitations Thursday.
Rice is off the injury report Thursday after kicking off Week 9 prep with a limited session Wednesday. The oft-injured wide receiver has been limited to five appearances this season, one of which he left before recording a catch, but he has 20 catches for 243 yards and two touchdowns across the other four games. With Rice getting healthier, he could feast Sunday against a Jets defense that's allowing 30.7 points per game during an active three-game losing streak.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Rice returned from his two-game absence with a hamstring injury in Week 8 at Denver and had his best game of the season with seven catches for 53 yards and a touchdown on eight targets. He has now scored at least 12.3 PPR points in each of his past three healthy games -- he left Week 4 at Las Vegas in the first quarter when he initially hurt his hamstring -- and I like Rice as a borderline No. 1 Fantasy receiver against the Jets. A receiver has scored at least 13.6 PPR points against the Jets in five games in a row, and eight receivers have scored at least 10.4 PPR points against New York over that span. Rice should have another solid stat line in Week 9.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Rice (hamstring/knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Rice got back in the fold in Week 8 to the tune of an 7-53-1 line after missing time with a hamstring injury, and he is limited to start preparation for the Jets. The Chiefs could be exercising caution with their top receiver, who also rehabbed from knee surgery during the offseason. A limited session Wednesday does not mean his Week 9 status is in jeopardy, but his participation over the coming days will be telling.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Finds end zone in Week 8 return
Rotowire
Rice caught seven of eight targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Broncos.
Making his return from a two-game absence due to a hamstring strain, Rice made an immediate impact when he caught an 11-yard TD from Patrick Mahomes in the first quarter for Kansas City's first points of the afternoon. The fourth-year wideout nearly had the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds of the fourth as well, but the play was wiped out by a false start penalty. In five appearances that season, one of which lasted just six snaps, Rice has put together a 20-243-2 line on 25 targets. He'll look to build on Sunday's performance in a Week 9 clash with the Jets.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: WRs to Sit
Rotowire
Rice (hamstring) will play in Week 8 after missing the past two games, but he's only worth starting in three-receiver leagues. This is a tough matchup since the Broncos are No. 6 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and Patrick Surtain II (ankle) is back after missing the past three games. Rice only had two catches for 19 yards and a touchdown on two targets in Week 1 against Denver, and that was the last time he found the end zone this season. Rice also has been held to 9.9 PPR points or less in three consecutive games against the Broncos.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Will play this Sunday
Rotowire
Rice (hamstring) will play in Sunday's game against the Broncos, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official website reports.
After returning to limited practices Wednesday and Thursday, Rice is set for his first game appearance since Week 4. He starts off with a tough matchup at Denver against Patrick Surtain & Co.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Stays limited Thursday
Rotowire
Rice (hamstring/knee) remained a limited participant at Thursday's practice.
Rice has put a pair of limited practices under his belt as he works his way back from a hamstring injury that has sidelined him since Week 4, with a knee injury also in the mix to complicate his recovery. If Rice ultimately gets the green light to face the Broncos, he would likely reclaim his customary role as Kansas City's top wide receiver. He would likely need to log a full practice Friday to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Returns in limited fashion Wednesday
Rotowire
Rice (hamstring) was a limited participant Wednesday
Wednesday marked Rice's first practice since suffering a hamstring injury in the Week 4 win against the Raiders. He was limited this time, so it's unclear if he'll be able to ramp up to full practices by the end of the week. Rice's progress through the remainder of the week will be an indicator of his status going into Week 8 against the Broncos. Even if he's not quite ready Sunday, a return to action looks to be on the horizon.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Returning to practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that Rice (hamstring/knee) is expected to practice Wednesday, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.
Rice will mix into drills for the first time since exiting the Chiefs' Week 4 win over the Raiders due to the pair of injuries. Reid provided no assurances that Rice is in line to play Sunday in Denver, but as long as the Chiefs' No. 1 wideout responds well to practice and avoids any setbacks as the week rolls along, he could put an end to his two-game absence.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Will miss Sunday's game
Rotowire
Rice (hamstring) will be out for Sunday's game at Seattle, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.
With Rice set to miss another game, the Chiefs are left with Xavier Worthy as their top wide receiver. Rice still hasn't returned to practice and thus seems in danger of missing time beyond Week 7.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Not spotted at practice Friday
Rotowire
Rice (hamstring/knee) was not present during the portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Pete Sweeney of The Kansas City Star reports.
Rice hasn't practiced since going down with his hamstring injury in Week 4 against the Raiders, so he's going to miss Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Xavier Worthy, Jalen Royals, Cyrus Allen and Nikko Remigio are on the 53-man roster at wide receiver, but the Chiefs elevated both Andrew Armstrong and Justin Watson last Sunday against the Chargers.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Won't practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Head coach Andy Reid said that Rice (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.
Rice emerged from the first quarter of the Chiefs' Week 4 win at Las Vegas with a hamstring injury, but even with the benefit of a Week 5 bye, he hasn't been able to practice in the meantime. He likely will need to mix into drills Thursday and/or Friday to have a chance to return to action Sunday in Seattle.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Will miss Week 6
Rotowire
Rice (hamstring/knee) will not play Sunday against the Chargers, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.
It was thought that Rice could avoid missing time after injuring his hamstring in Week 4, but he was not ready to practice coming out of Kansas City's Week 5 bye, and he will wind up sidelined for Sunday's contest. With Rice unavailable, Xavier Worthy, Jalen Royals and Cyrus Allen will be the top options at the receiver spot for Patrick Mahomes in Week 6.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Sidelined for practice again
Rotowire
Rice (hamstring) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
Coming out of the Chiefs' Week 5 bye, Rice has been a spectator for both of the team's first two practices of the week while he continues to recover from the hamstring injury he sustained in an Oct. 4 win over the Raiders. Kansas City hasn't yet closed the door on Rice suiting up Sunday against the Chargers, but he'll almost certainly need to practice in some capacity Friday to put himself on a path to play.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Suffers hamstring injury
Rotowire
Rice officially sustained a hamstring injury during Sunday's contest at Las Vegas.
Rice grabbed at his hamstring at the end of a seven-yard catch that was negated due to a penalty on the Raiders defense, limping to the sideline before the Chiefs ruled him questionable to return. For as long as Rice is off the field, Xavier Worthy, Tyquan Thornton, Jalen Royals and Cyrus Allen figure to pick up the slack in the WR corps.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Target share continues to trend up
Rotowire
Rice caught seven of nine targets for 88 yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Dolphins.
Rice was the only Kansas City pass catcher with more than three targets, and he paced the team in receiving yards as well, but Patrick Mahomes' two touchdown passes went to Kenneth Walker and Travis Kelce. Rice's target total has climbed from two in Week 1 to six in Week 2 and now nine in Week 3, so his usage has been trending in the right direction ahead of a Week 4 road game against the Raiders. He averaged 9.8 targets per game in eight appearances last season.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Robust yardage total in OT win
Rotowire
Rice brought in four of six targets for 83 yards in the Chiefs' 33-30 overtime win over the Colts on Sunday night.
Rice finished with the Chiefs' third-highest receiving yardage total and turned in a 31-yard grab along the way. The 2023 second-round pick's boost in production was a welcome sight for fantasy managers after he'd managed a 2-19-1 line in Week 1, and given Patrick Mahomes already looks close to full health after last December's season-ending knee injury, Rice's outlook as Kansas City's No. 1 receiver should only get brighter as the season unfolds. Rice and the rest of the Chiefs' offense is in a premium spot in Week 3, as they'll pay a visit to the winless Dolphins next Sunday.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Gets in end zone to start season
Rotowire
Rice brought in both targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 31-10 win over the Broncos on Monday night.
Rice was on the receiving end of Patrick Mahomes' first touchdown pass of the season, doing all the work on a 13-yard scoring grab off a wide-receiver screen late in the first half that saw him break multiple tackles. Rice was quiet otherwise, but he did deliver excellent downfield blocking on Travis Kelce's game-long 59-yard catch in the third quarter. Mahomes connected on just five occasions with Rice and fellow starting wideout Xavier Worthy on Monday night, but that volume could certainly increase in a favorable Week 2 home matchup Sunday night against a Colts defense that was exposed in every facet by the Ravens in Week 1.
