Rashee Rice

Rashee Rice showcased promise in his rookie season with the Chiefs, tallying 105 receptions for 1,200 yards and 8 touchdowns in 20 games, earning him a 19% target share. Despite an average of 10.9 fantasy points per game, he surged post-Week 6, averaging 12.1 points and ranking within the top 20. However, concerns arise due to increased competition from additions like Marquise Brown and Xavier Worthy. Additionally, Rice's legal issues stemming from a high-speed hit-and-run crash may result in a multi-game suspension, casting doubt on his availability for the upcoming NFL season.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice is reportedly under investigation for allegedly hitting a photographer at a Dallas nightclub early Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Dallas police say they are investigating witnesses about the alleged nightclub assault, but not much more information is available at this time. Rice currently faces eight charges for a multi-car accident that occurred in Dallas in late March. There have been reports that Rice could face a multi-game suspension for the accident, but as these two situations work their way through the legal system, the NFL will likely be weighing things to determine whether or not Rice could miss regular season action in 2024.
