Rashee Rice will be back this week (hamstring). Rice will have a long day this week. If you're forced to start Rice, I get it, but temper your expectations this week.

Rice returns from hamstring but faces tough Denver defense with Surtain back.

Rice will return this week from a hamstring injury, opening with limited practices Wednesday and Thursday and a full practice Friday with no injury designation entering the week. However, the source tempers expectations significantly. In Weeks 1-3, Rice was the WR23 in fantasy points per game with a 16.3% target share, 2.35 yards per route run, four red zone targets, zero deep targets, and a 20.3% first-read share. Denver's defense has allowed the 14th-fewest yards per target and sixth-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter wide receivers over their last five games, and will also get Patrick Surtain back. The source states: 'Rice will have a long day this week' and advises tempering expectations if forced to start him.
