Rice ranks 92nd among 93 qualified wide receivers in average separation score this season. He's been significantly more efficient against zone in terms of yards per route run (2.44 vs. 1.09) and targets per route run (0.25 vs. 0.15).

Rice's poor separation (92nd) limits upside despite Jets' weak EPA defense.

Ranked WR19 in Tier 2 upside WR2s for Week 9 vs. New York Jets; has turned in 2-19-1, 4-83-0, 7-88-0, and 7-53-1 receiving lines in his only four full games this season, with most recent matchup potentially including second touchdown without last-second false start penalty. Jets boast league's fifth-worst defense in EPA allowed per dropback through eight weeks; however, Jets run man coverage at fifth-highest clip and Rice ranks 92nd among 93 qualified WRs in average separation score. Rice significantly more efficient against zone (2.44 yards per route run vs. 1.09; 0.25 targets per route run vs. 0.15), so matchup not quite as great a smash spot as on-paper suggests.
