16% target rate, 29% TPRR; positioned for bounceback vs weak Colts pass rush

Rashee RiceWR

Rice is the primary target earner for Mahomes with a 16% target rate and 29% targets per route run (vs. Worthy's 19%), indicating a strong connection and ability to get open. Against the Colts' weak pass rush and interior defense, Rice is positioned for a bounceback spot; the source expects him to benefit from Mahomes' increased completion volume and targets over the middle when first reads against Sauce Gardner or Ward are unavailable. Rice is sub-baseline in man coverage beating ability, but the Colts' defensive scheme and pass rush weakness mitigate that concern. The source believes Rice could approach double-digit targets in this matchup.

Like he's the guy who actually has the connection with Mahomes who can get open.
