WR Rashee Rice, KC (4 Viewers)

[smbkrypt24]

I like Rice and all but I think those expecting him to continue where he left off in 2024 will be disappointed. 32 percent target share isn't happening with Worthy now established, Brown healthy and Kelce still hanging around and supposedly in better shape this year.

I am buying in on Mahomes though . Traded for him in one dynasty and took him in a startup. Best weapons he has had in the last 3 seasons and I am buying into Fat Andy and Mahomes wanting to get back to throwing the ball all over the field.

I can get behind the more weapons with worthy added. But Real question..why do you believe Kelce is in better shape this year?

Just based on comments Mahomes made and Kelce claiming he was. Certainly don't claim it as fact, which is why I used "supposedly"

Edit to add: He "supposedly" has lost 25 pounds. He did look flabby last season. Understandable with his busy social life, but seems like he wants to make potentially his last season a good one.

This is why you draft early. I just looked at my 1st underdog draft of the year I did right after the NFL Draft. I got Rice in round 4. His ADP is now pick 24.

I don’t know how established I’d consider Worthy. He put up pretty mediocre wr stats when you consider he had virtually no competition in the wr room all year and he had a very bad 6.5 y/target. Rice had far better overall stats and averaged 9.2 y/target as a rookie.

I agree. I also see them as vastly different WRs with vastly different skill sets.

Rice is 6’1, 205, Worthy is 5’11, 172-ish

I don’t see any overlap there. I do however see a ton of overlap between Hollywood Brown (5’9”, 180) & Worthy - I believe they’re going to eat into each others numbers.

We’re all just guessing here, but I see Rice as a much more established prototypical X WR. Bigger route tree, 1st look from Mahomes type. Were I a betting man, I’d put all my $ on Rice being the clear WR1 on the Chiefs.

I don’t put any stock into the “I am in better/best shape ever” lines right now. Just don’t think it’s possible for every player to ever play football.

 

[TheWinz]

Michael Thomas has the best career catch percentage by a wide receiver, at 76.0 percent.
That's only because Rashee Rice doesn't qualify yet.

saw him on the stanley cup finals the other night and he did look like he lost a bunch of weight from last year.

I’m not sure that’s a good thing with a TE. He looked his normal size last year, he just looked slow and old.

Maybe the weight loss will help with that, but will he still be as dominant at a lighter weight.

Strongly disagree on the bolded. He had a roll around his mid section which is why he looked old and slow compared to 2023.

Obviously not expecting 2017 Kelce but won't be surprised if he has a better season as far as YPC.

Plus, he's not REALLY a TE. Big slot receiver.

Well, Worthy was a rookie. If you’re saying he didn’t look better towards time end of the season, I guess we have a completely different viewpoint.

Yeah but he does use his size to box out defenders. Dude is big and strong.

I guess time will tell. I agree he could return to form a bit, but man - he looked really, really bad.

A big slot receiver they use to run block with? Ha ha. Ya, when he is running routes I see the wr comparisons, but not many wrs are used like him in the running game. Maybe his weight loss changes that? Dudes 35. He can see the end. I think if Rice stayed healthy last year we would have seen the official passing of the torch as Mahomes first read. Imo

Not a KC expert but he seemed to be off the field a lot on running plays last year. Maybe not though. Never thought of him as much of a blocker.
