Should You Start or Sit Rice in Week 12?
Rice is a great player in an elite role. He has the trust of his future Hall of Fame quarterback (26 catches on 35 targets in his four games back) and is as good as it gets once the ball is in his hands (6+ yards per catch after the reception in three straight).
The Chiefs are struggling from a results standpoint, and it hasn’t impacted their WR1. Imagine what can happen now that they are in a state of desperation.
Rice has nine red zone touches and has been targeted on half of his routes inside the opponent’s 20-yard line. He’s the closest thing this offense has to a “run” game and is being prioritized by the greatest offensive minds in the game.
I’ve got him as my WR5 this week, and I wouldn’t dismiss the idea of him producing at a Tier 1 level for the remainder of the season.
