Only if Goodell approved it.

Funny how some fantasy seasons can slowly decline but have little hope and ironically this feels like a sudden car crash and instant totaling

Wonder if Darius Slayton would fit in KC.
UFA after this season. Doubt it would cost much, late round pick.

Same here. I spent extra for WR depth in the event he had a mid-season suspension, so I have somewhat of a cushion...but man, this still stings.

Probably as well as Toney did.

The totality of the circumstances, where you got to draft him, his start and how this season looked and the absolutely sickening way his dopey QB destroyed him carelessly, this is probably the biggest fantasy pain since Peyton Hillis went down in the playoffs that year.

Empty my draft pick locker to add Henry to a dynasty team that has now started 4-0 despite being down Kupp and now lose Rice. Just can’t have nice things it seems. The lord giveth and he taketh away. Gutted.

Theres no one coming that is going to replicate the start Rice had. Every player they've brought in over the last 2-3 years has not been good and most of their draft picks have sucked. Rice was the first one showing promise and Mahomes ruined that.

Worthy can be pretty good. It's now looking like a hell of a trade with Buffalo to be able to draft him, who are idiots for doing that trade IIMO.

In his opening statement, Andy Reid said the Chiefs are still going through several tests of Rashee Rice's right knee.
"I don't have a definite (diagonals) right now," Reid said of Rice. "He's not going to be available next week."

Last sentence has to be the understatement of the year.

Lets hope for a Jordan Love type timetable return!

I love a good car crash analogy in the Rashee Rice thread. Keep em comin!
In any event, I think Worthy has to be the guy in Kansas City. Justin Watson will probably see an uptick but he isn't going to win Kansas City games like Worthy can. I could see the Chiefs running a lot of 12 personnel offense with Noah Gray and Kelce, as the underneath guys and Worthy in motion for some deeper stuff.
I am confused why everyone is so down on Worthy to take the reigns and Andy Reid to scheme him into the offense more. This seems like the most plausible move and I am here for it.

Have you read something I haven’t regarding a diagnosis?

No
Love was in the same boat. Was speculated to have serious knee injury and got lucky
No. That is why I said let's hope....

I'm with you in the hope department, but I don't recall the level of Love's injury being speculated like Rice's is, but I could be wrong.

Hopefully we get a clear diagnosis before waivers run tomorrow night so I know if I’ll have an extra bench slot.
packdog
Footballguy
i agree. and we saw it yesterday. more prep time will make it even more clear. kelce is back to being the man in terms of target share (31% yesterday). they likely revert to what they were doing last year but with worthy far more worthy of a wr than mvs

You have an extra bench spot.Hopefully we get a clear diagnosis before waivers run tomorrow night so I know if I’ll have an extra bench slot.
Source: I watched the play. He's done.
You could be on to something.
From what I've heard they usually know you have an ACL immediately and confirm with with the MRI. That does not exactly jive with Andy's comments about "several test".
Also Doc Chao did his in-game injury analysis when it happened and this was his initial speculation:
Suffers a right quad contusion and hyperextended knee with an additional bone bruise on same play after Patrick Mahomes ran into him after INT, quad injury can be managed but knee issue will sideline him rest of game , expect the Chiefs wideout to miss extended time
I might hold out like a 5-10% optimism level it's not an ACL after all.
Willie Neslon

I'm not a knee doctor but does the fact that their doing additional testing mean the MRI was inconclusive? Maybe a glimmer of hope the ACL is intact? Reid's comment ("doesn't look good") on the sideline during the game is meaningless. I saw that Chao tweet in real time he thought is was a bone bruise and ligament strain but didn't see the mechanism for an ACL tear. He was maybe the one guy who said he didn't think Love's knee injury was season ending. Seeing Shefter tweet last night that the Chief's "fear an ACL tear" is usually a death knell but don't they confirm this stuff pretty quickly?

pretty good concise video on a breakdown from an MD and insight into the possible outcomes.

Mahomes nailed him in the thigh. Whole leg buckled at the knee but that *could* be hyperextension.

I have no shares of Rice and this is nothing more than my gut—but the fact that they haven’t confirmed a torn ACL or any catastrophic injury yet seems to me like maybe a good sign. MRI’s don’t take long, and stability testing (for ACL’s and other major ligaments) can be done relatively quickly. I’m starting to have hope that maybe he suffered some sort of deep bone bruise with some hyperextending/spraining. I’m starting to think that hopefully it’s more of a 4-6 week type things than it is a season ending type thing.

you knew as soon as Mahomes took out his knee season over for Rice

I'll take it over absolutely torn ligaments

IT MEANS THEY WON’T KNOW ANYTHING UNTIL NEXT WEEK BECAUSE THEY’RE DOING MORE TESTING!

It means screw your fantasy waivers. You got to carry Rice another week.

what is Hunter Renrow doing these days...?

Mahomes might have had something to do with him showing promise in the first place.

I don't have the luxury of keeping him. Too many injuries and bye weeks at once. Someone will get a real prize if he's only out a month or so. I can't afford to be out of it by the time he maybe comes back. Executive decision, and I'm okay with it if I get burned.
Insein
Footballguy
Yea but he also had something to do with blowing out his knee.
Valid point. The next few days will be telling. Even with no new news. I think we can all at least agree that if he’s not placed on IR by this Saturday, that this is not the case.
JohnnyU

If he needs surgery I hope they don't do with him like MLB sometimes do with pitchers with elbow problems, by waiting and waiting, hoping rest will do the trick, then end up doing the Tommy John surgery anyway, causing him to be out even more time the next season. Sometimes it is better to get it done early as possible if it is inevitable. Problem is, they might not know yet, possibly until the swelling subsides.
