Chiefs: RBs: Kenneth Walker: 74% opp share, 58% route share, all i5, split 2 min Workhorse that you want on your fantasy team Emmett Johnson is the clear RB2/handcuff WRs/TEs: Xavier Worthy: 91% route share, 20% TPRR, .6 YPRR, 7.8 aDOT, 20% of routes from slot Great usage but no production Rashee Rice: 88% route share, 6.9% TPRR, .66 YPRR, 2.5 aDOT (standard), 45% of routes from slot Worried about Kenneth Walker’s impact on Rice Tyquan Thornton: 73% route share, 4.2% TPRR, 0 YPRR, 34 aDOT (de...PositiveNewsAug 29, 2026
Chiefs film review (a lot): Emmett Johnson was the 1st RB - they let him get some 3rd down pass plays and then rotated with Emari Demercado They put EJ on ice at the end of the 1st while Demercado played well into the 2nd half Feel decently good about EJ being the handcuff to Kenneth Walker Rashee, Worthy, Kelce, and Thornton are clearly the starting skill position players at WR/TE Cyrus Allen, Jaylen Royals, and Andrew Armstrong came on after the starters were done Allen was off the field a...PositiveNewsAug 29, 2026

Rashee Rice update: Doesn’t sound like he’s looking like himself so far Take: He wasn’t a great separator anyway, but any ticks of his agility are concerning given the reliance on YAC. 3WRs in front of Cyrus Allen w/ some level of injury concerns. Keeping an eye out.NegativeInjuryAug 18, 2026
Hamstring strain for Tyquan Thornton and we know those can be tricky long-term (esp for speed guys) With the way things are trending in KC, you have to think its inevitable that Cyrus Allen gets playing time There's already injuries to Worthy & Thornton + Rashee on the mendPositiveNewsAug 12, 2026
On Rashee Rice: Does not expect a suspension for him in case you were worried about thatPositiveNewsAug 12, 2026
Per @ByNateTaylor it looks like Rashee Rice is laboring in terms of change of direction still in 1 on 1 drills Mentions starting and stopping and coming out of breaks Take: This kind of helps confirm that the video where Rashee had an awkward gait might actually be real.NegativeUsageAug 10, 2026
Additional Cyrus Allen hype per @MattVerderame: Allen is out there with the 1st team over and over again While Worthy and Rashee Rice have been limited/out, he was in there when Worthy was out there Speculation that Cyrus Allen could barely play in preseason, which would be a sign that they really like him Take: Very much paying close attention to preseason snaps for him, though he is coming off injury, so the role may not be as big anyway.PositiveUsageAug 1, 2026
Cyrus Allen was playing the big slot role usually designated for Rashee Rice Take: If you believe the hype and saw the video of Rashee Rice running a route and then add in RB screens - you’re starting to build a solid fade Rashee Rice case (among other reasons too)PositiveUsageJul 26, 2026
Speculative but the host of LockedOn Chiefs believes the Chiefs are still going to lean heavily on Rashee Rice While it feels obvious, with the OC chance to Bieniemy and how fragile Rice’s role could be - it’s good to hear Also doesn’t believe Rice will be with Chiefs long-termPositiveNewsJul 24, 2026
No limits on Patrick Mahomes Top skill players are: Kenneth Walker Rashee Rice Xavier Worthy Travis Kelce Tyquan ThorntonPositiveInjuryJul 24, 2026
After spending some time in jail and rehabbing his knee Rashee Rice is cleared to practice Good value in drafts (still risky) but if building a portfolio id over index at this cost
