Rest-of-Season Outlook and Availability
Outlook
The catch is availability: the 2023 second-rounder (Pick 55, SMU) has played just 8, 4 and 16 games the last three years, and any setback would gut the volume that makes him a top-15 ceiling in the Mahomes offense. With a clear path to alpha targets in Kansas City, he is a high-upside WR2 worth a slight discount, a weekly starter when active. Draft a contingency and accept the boom-bust games-played risk.

Rashee Rice Rest-of-Season Outlook
Efficient WR3 with flex weeks
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished WR40 last season at 18.8 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's WR25 at 12.7 PPR points per game, against 18.8 over 8 games last season (WR40). He's running behind last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 45th of 142 in target volume (14.2% target share), 98th of 142 in downfield role (7.5% air-yards share) and 16th of 142 in efficiency (2.32 yards per route run). His points come from his efficiency. Downfield role is the soft spot. Patrick Mahomes is his quarterback.
The main risk is the job itself. He's the listed starter with Cyrus Allen next on the depth chart, and a benching or an injury would take his value to zero overnight.
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
When healthy, Rice is one of the NFL's most efficient receivers. Across eight 2025 games he posted a 0.192 EPA per play, a 2.32 yards-per-route mark and 7.81 yards after the catch per reception, turning a 14.2 percent target share into 53 catches for 571 yards and five scores (97.1 points despite the missed time). His red-zone gravity is elite, with 18 red-zone and 14 end-zone targets in half a season. That mirrors his 2023 breakout (79-938-7, WR28 in 16 games) and the absurd 0.568 EPA flash over four 2024 games.
The catch is availability: the 2023 second-rounder (Pick 55, SMU) has played just 8, 4 and 16 games the last three years, and any setback would gut the volume that makes him a top-15 ceiling in the Mahomes offense. With a clear path to alpha targets in Kansas City, he is a high-upside WR2 worth a slight discount, a weekly starter when active. Draft a contingency and accept the boom-bust games-played risk.

Rashee Rice Fantasy Outlook FAQ
What is Rashee Rice's fantasy outlook for the rest of the 2026 season?

His efficiency (2.32 yards per route run, 16th of 142 WRs in 2025) supports that. His downfield role (7.5% air-yards share, 98th of 142 WRs in 2025) holds him back. See his live rank in Redraft Command.

What is Rashee Rice's projected role going forward?
Rashee Rice is the listed starting WR, with Cyrus Allen next on the depth chart. Nothing on the chart threatens the job, so the role is his to lose on performance.

Rashee Rice's targets are trending up: 7.5 a game over his last two games against 5.7 for the season. His share of the offense is what his fantasy value rides on.
What is Rashee Rice's fantasy football upside?
Rashee Rice's upside: his ceiling this season is 15.8 PPR points (Week 3, WR20) and his efficiency (2.32 yards per route run, 16th of 142 WRs in 2025) gives him a weekly floor to build on.
What could hurt Rashee Rice's fantasy value?
Rashee Rice's risks: Cyrus Allen is next on the depth chart if he is benched or hurt, his downfield role (7.5% air-yards share, 98th of 142 WRs in 2025) limits his scoring and the Raiders in Week 4 and the Seahawks in Week 7 are tough matchups. See his injury status and history.
How difficult is Rashee Rice's remaining fantasy schedule?
Difficult: of his next seven games, 2 come against a top-10 matchup for WRs and 3 against one of the stingiest defenses, by PPR points allowed to the position.

LCL Tear, surgery · Right 14 games
Suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers, later diagnosed as a torn LCL that required surgery.
If Rice Misses Time
Next man up: Cyrus Allen
Cyrus Allen is next on the Chiefs depth chart at wide receiver. The targets would likely spread across the offense rather than pass to one player, so he's a waiver add only if Rice misses time.
Who else it affects
His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Patrick Mahomes would lose one of his main options.
