Six of his eight targets came on slants or in-breaking routes. Like in years past, HC Andy Reid wanted to get the ball in Rice's hands and let him work after the catch. That's an ideal route deployment for any receiver facing the Jets.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Rice's rising usage and Jets' weak middle-of-field coverage position him for WR1 status.

Rice reclaimed his WR1 target share after multi-week injury absence but was on limited snap (57%) and route rates (61%) by design as part of Andy Reid's smart ramp-up plan. Six of his eight targets came on slants or in-breaking routes, reflecting Reid's philosophy of getting the ball in Rice's hands for YAC. Against the Jets in Week 9, Kirk Cousins threw to the middle of the field on 60.9% of attempts for 187 yards and two TDs; the Jets' nickel corner Jarvis Brownlee has given up 14th-most yards among interior coverage CBs. With Rice's workload rising, he should be in WR1 conversation after Week 9.
