Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy struggled again in the loss to the Broncos. He went 3-25-0 on 5 targets, outproduced by Hollywood Brown who went 4-40-0. Worthy hasn’t finished higher than PPR WR20 in any week and hasn’t topped WR40 in any week since Rashee Rice returned from suspension. Worthy simply isn’t startable in fantasy anymore.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes entered Week 9 with 29+ fantasy points in five straight. From Week 7 of 2024 to Week 8 of 2025, he accounted for at least one TD in every game. But both streaks ended Sunday against Buffalo, with Mahomes throwing for 250 scoreless yards and 1 INT. He added a brutal 44.1% completion rate, plus only 5 rushing yards.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice went 7-32-2 with 10 targets in his first game back from suspension. The third-year player played in his first game since September of 2024 after a torn LCL caused him to miss most of the 2024 season. He appears to have stepped right into the top WR role for the Chiefs once again.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Chiefs WR Rashee Rice will have a "large role" in his 2025 debut vs. the Raiders today. Pelissero adds that the team will "monitor" Rice's snaps in his first game in 385 days. He probably won't play his usual full-time role in this one. But we expect Rice to play plenty -- and to be heavily targeted when he's on the field. He sits 12th in the Week 7 WR rankings.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler writes that the Chiefs "will be allocating a heavy workload for [WR Rashee Rice] as soon as possible." A team source told Fowler that Rice will be "full bore" in practice this week. Rice "has been in the building for weeks, had an excellent training camp and is in peak physical shape," Fowler adds. That's a much more optimistic outlook than we got from HC Andy Reid earlier this week. We'll ultimately be guessing at Rice's Week 7 workload until the Chiefs take the field vs. the Raiders. But Rice's upside means he belongs in almost all fantasy lineups.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice is set to make his 2025 debut vs. the Raiders this weekend. He missed the first six games of the season on suspension and will also be playing in his first game since last year's season-ending knee injury. HC Andy Reid was non-committal when asked Monday how much Rice will play against Vegas.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Chiefs WR Rashee Rice is accepting a six-game suspension and will serve it at the start of this season.

Chiefs’ WR Marquise Brown returned to practice on Sunday and was participating again on Monday, according to Chiefs' senior team reporter Matt McMullen.

The NFL initially proposed a suspension of up to 10 games for Kansas City WR Rashee Rice, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice is expected to have his disciplinary hearing with the NFL on September 30, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. That means Rice will likely be eligible to play the first four weeks of the season against the Chargers, Eagles, Giants, and Ravens. The Chiefs' Week 5 game is in Jacksonville on Monday, October 6.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice returned to practice on Monday. He missed a few practices and the preseason opener with a groin injury. But, barring a setback, it shouldn't impact his 2025 campaign. We're still waiting for the league to make a decision on a Rice suspension for his involvement in a street-racing crash in March of 2024.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice missed Saturday's preseason game at Arizona. Jesse Newell of The Athletic labeled Rice's groin injury as "mild," which is consistent with prior descriptions of the injury. Expect him to return to practice this week.

The NFL has yet to hand down any suspension for Chiefs WR Rashee Rice, but the team obviously needs to prepare for that possibility. SI.com's Albert Breer says the team is "expecting a suspension of Rice in the neighborhood of four to six games, and are ready for it." That time span lines up with other rumored expectations. Frankly, though, it seems odd that we still don't have anything official from the league, given that the initial infraction(s?) came early in the offseason before the 2024 campaign.
