2023 Fantasy Outlook
Few prospects, if any, gained more fantasy value than Rice during the 2023 draft. A lot of mocks had him lasting until Round 3 or even Day 3, but he instead went 55th overall to a WR-needy team led by QB Patrick Mahomes and coach Andy Reid. Rice is already 23 and might be the slowest (4.51 40) of KC's top options at wide receiver, but he's also the densest (6-1, 204) and perhaps the strongest, with his 128-inch broad jump and 41-inch vertical showing good athleticism overall. He was a four-year contributor at SMU, including 1,355 yards and 10 TDs as a senior, and now joins a WR corps where the other lead candidates for playing time are 2022 second-round pick Skyy Moore, 2021 first-rounder Kadarius Toney and veteran deep threat Marquez Valdes-Scantling -- a trio that combined for only 131 targets last season. Rice stands a chance to emerge as the volume receiver of the bunch, with the Chiefs saying goodbye to JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman in March after trading Tyreek Hill the previous offseason.

Finishes second in targets Sunday
Rice had three catches on five targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Rice finished with a pedestrian stat line in a rare down game from Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City's aerial attack. The defending Super Bowl champions still got the win, and the rookie wideout maintained his role as one of the team's primary options behind star tight end Travis Kelce. Rice's five targets only trailed Kelce's nine, which shows the trust Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid have in him just four games into his pro career. Rice's next chance to grow that trust -- and in turn, his role on offense -- will come on the road against Minnesota next Sunday.
