WR Rashee Rice, KC (5 Viewers)

Hypothetical

All KC WR's are on the waiver wire, and you must select one and start him this week, because Jigsaw has your entire family and "wants to play a game with you". If you win, your family is set free. Who you taking?

ETA - You actually like your family
One week/this week? Juju. Low confidence overall but I don't know if Reid and Mahomes could give you a second name, this is open auditions time.

Trick question. It's Kelce.

But to play along... gut says Worthy. This is the kid's chance.

Juju over Worthy?

Oh. I reject you premise. Worthy and Kelce aren't on wires. Worthy #1 as WR
 
While Rashee is out, how will the WR targets play out? Through the first 4 games:
Worthy - 3, 4, 4, 4 = 15
Watson - 1, 2, 2, 3 = 8
Smith-Schuster - 1, 0, 3, 0 = 4
Moore - 0, 0, 0, 2 = 2
Your post would be more useful if.you also included Rice's targets. Kelce's too. Otherwise I would say they each get 100 more targets.
I was only asking how the WR targets would be distributed for the foreseeable future. Maybe something like?

Worthy - 30%
Smith-Schuster - 30%
Watson - 20%
Moore - 10%
Hardman - 10%
Again, it would help to know how many targets are up for grabs.

And excluding Kelce from the equation seems odd.
It doesn't matter how many targets are up for grabs. I am only trying to figure out who will get the targets. I guess I will ask it in a different way - if you had to start a KC WR in your FF lineup this week, who would it be? After you say Worthy, who would you say next? And next? And next?
If I had to start a KC WR other than Worthy I would take up a new hobby.
 
So KC is still playing the "we don't know how long Rice is out" game? Wonderful. Not much on my waiver wire but it is a roster spot if he is done for the year.

What kind of offers we accepting for Rice ?

I’m loath to sell but have to consider it as a contender. Put him on the trade block and so far

Rice for Diggs

Rice for Lagette and an early ‘25 2

Rice for W Robinson and an early ‘25 2

Not going to accept any of these but the Lagette/Robinson person is in a proper rebuild and also has BTJ and 4 x 1sts.

I wouldn't be selling Rice at this point. No one is going to overpay right now.

It’s one line of thinking that I can agree with but if you are firmly contending, I’d say you have to think about the lost points production that COULD extend to almost 2 seasons if it’s as bad as feared and then a suspension. These things aren’t definite but it’s a mess of things to consider

In the only league I own Rice I have ton of WR depth. Even in other leagues I am not ready to sell. He is most likely done for the year, but extent of injury is unknown.
I am actually trying to buy in all leagues.

Yeah, let the low-balls commence. I don't own him many places, but in one of those leagues I was offered Devin Singletary & Christian Watson. Not as bad as the above you mentioned but still an easy decline for me.
 
Somebody just dropped Amari cooper for Joe Flacco in one of my leagues waiver runs.

I need to make a decision today and I think I’m dropping rice for him.
I'm torn on Rice, but the main money league where I have him I'm 3-1 without an IR. I'd guess all of us with Rice have decent records. I think in all likelihood and probability he's physically done.

If he's not the question then becomes, is he functionally done? Can he get back to who we saw Weeks 1-3 somehow by Weeks 15-17?

I'm looking at holidng til I get confirmation but I don't think its crazy at all to drop him. Probably crazier to keep him but this is the human element.

I don't want to get beat by Rice down the road based on a premature drop for a Week 5 sugar rush

Wow- thats a risky drop. Amari is a fantasy asset even where he is on the Browns. However- if Rice does end up getting ruled out for the season, there is a good chance that KC would look to trade for a WR with an expiring contract. This would possibly make guys like amari cooper, deandre hopkins, tee higgins potential trade targets for them. That would be wild if a rice owner dropped amari and the chiefs turn around and get amari to replace rice.

Well I can now beat those offers

Rice and my ‘26 1st for Mixon & Mooney !!

What the hell is this guy smoking ??

Funnier because I bought Rice from this guy in the summer for 2 x 2nds and Gabe Davis
 
The lack of news at this point is bizarre.

Either it is worse than anyone thinks and they are trying to assess how many ligaments and whatever else can be damaged in a knee were hurt.

Or...

It isn't as bad as feared and they are trying to assess the degree of a sprain.

Or...

They know exactly what is wrong and are just playing at stupid ####### gamesmanship.

Quite possible

Possible but unlikely

BINGO!

In an FFPC Triflex league (superflex, start 3 WRs, TE premium), a team immediately traded Rice after the injury, without bothering to wait for news. He's a contending team. He sent Rice, a 2025 1st (contending team, not his own), 2025 2nd (his own) for Drake London, Terry McLaurin, Chuba Hubbard, 2025 3rd. In the context of this league, I think if Rice were out for the season (the assumption here), he's probably roughly equal to McLaurin, and the 1st and 2nd is equal to London and the rest.

Gamesmanship would be labeling rice questionable for next week.

A classic Belichekian type move.
 
Doesn't look like we are going to get any meaningful update before most waivers run. I've got him on a short bench team with an already filled IR spot so this is frustrating for me.
This is really odd. In a case like this, 99.9% of the time we know by now what the deal is.
It seems logical to me that the MRI did not confirm an ACL tear or they'd have just said that. Obviously there is damage but I don't see what they'd gain by waiting to announce it if they knew it was season ending, especially after declaring him out for week 5 already. I have him in a short bench league and i'm holding for now even if it means missing out on the flavor of the week on the WW.

They said they’d update us Monday.

So… good luck with that.
 
Ok I just submitted my waiver claim dropping Rice for Amari Cooper.

That means the rest of you should hold onto him, because he will surely now miss only a week or two.
You sacrifice will not be forgotten. Also, Amari on the wire? Nice.
Same question about Amari being available. Was he just dropped?

He was dropped for Joe Flacco. This is a league with a very short bench and roster. But still, he had Freiermuth and Higgins who I may have dropped first.

I think I would have found something else to drop for this week for Cooper. A kicker, defense or something.

Again, short bench. I have David Montgomery, Najee Harris, and DJ Moore. Normally, I would drop one of those... maybe, but the prospect of losing Rice for the year weighs in.

I'm 11/12 in waiver priority. I doubt I'll even get him.
