I’m a little surprised just how much that Rashee route has taken off. Like I agree he doesn’t look explosive but I didn’t think it was THAT BAD. Rehabbing a knee still and missed all of OTA (his fault)

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)

Wide receiver Rashee Rice continued the planned rehabilitation routine established during the first week of full-team practices, starting on the field before leaving for rehab work during team periods. Head coach Andy Reid explained the approach: "We're just building them up. We know it's going to take a little bit of time, they haven't much on the conditioning part of it and rehab part of it. We know they can play; we want to be smart getting them there and how we go about that." Video evidence shows Rice running downfield routes on air, indicating he still has work to do before achieving full physical recovery and returning to the full-time role the Chiefs' offense expects.

Wide receiver Rashee Rice continues a planned rehabilitation routine during training camp, starting on the field before leaving for rehab work during team periods. Head coach Andy Reid explained: "We're just building them up. We know it's going to take a little bit of time, they haven't much on the conditioning part of it and rehab part of it. We know they can play; we want to be smart getting them there and how we go about that." Video evidence of Rice running a downfield route on air indicates he has conditioning work remaining before he is 100% physically recovered and ready to assume the full-time role the Chiefs' offense expects from him.

NegativeBustJul 30, 2026Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz
Ian Hartitz fades Rasheed Rice despite his WR8-WR13 ADP (end of round two to mid-round three), citing multiple concerns: (1) off-field risk and behavioral volatility—Rice is one mistake away from being off the Chiefs and potentially out of the league; (2) limited receiver profile with 4.7-yard average target depth and league-leading screen pass percentage; (3) crowded Kansas City offense where defenses can stack the box against Kenneth Walker and low-ADOT routes, potentially suffocating Rice's role; (4) Mahomes potentially less mobile post-injury; (5) Chiefs' lack of extension plans and apparent distrust in Rice; (6) team's recent offensive struggles. Using a trade-value exercise, Hartitz suggests the Chiefs would trade Rice for nearly every other top-20 WR in the league except possibly Quentin Johnston, implying Rice is overvalued relative to his true talent level. While Rice has posted WR1 numbers in fantasy, Hartitz prefers Devonte Smith, Nico Collins, or other stud receivers without the execution risk. Hartitz: "He is such a limited player that we're having to draft so early in an offense that just hasn't even been good recently."

NegativeValueJul 30, 2026Yahoo Fantasy Forecast
Matt Harmon views Rasheed Rice as a second-round talent falling to the third round in mock drafts. Rice has top-10 fantasy receiver upside when healthy; he posted top-five per-game production last year, top-six in 2024 before injury, and top-15 over his final 10 games as a rookie. Harmon acknowledges off-field and injury risk but emphasizes Rice's scheme fit with Mahomes and consistent elite efficiency, making him undervalued at current third-round ADP.
