The Chiefs entered 2023 hoping one of several young receivers on their roster would step up. Only one did. That was Rice, who simply continued to make plays when given the chance and saw his role steadily expand. Over the final six games, the then-rookie caught 43 passes for 518 yards and three TDs, becoming the clear go-to target on the outside. For the season, he finished with a 79-938-7 line, leading the club in touchdowns and finishing second to Travis Kelce in receptions and yards.
Even with the offseason additions, Rice looks set to be the No. 1 receiver in Kansas City. Unfortunately, the second-year pro has introduced an element of uncertainty into the equation as he is facing felony charges stemming from a multi-vehicle crash. No discipline has been announced by the NFL to date, but the team is reportedly expecting a multi-game suspension that will take Rice off the field to open the season. Once the duration is known, his value will crystallize further. For now, he should be viewed as a strong WR3 and possible top-25 fantasy wideout.

Xavier Worthy arrested on felony domestic violence charge
Chiefs could have two WRs suspended in 2025
By: Mike Krueger | Sat Mar 8, 10:58 am
|  | Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy was arrested Friday night in Williamson County, Texas, on a charge of assault of a family or house member and impeding the breathing or circulation. The Chiefs said they were aware of Worthy's arrest and gathering information.
In Texas, impeding as family member's breathing or circulation is a third-degree felony and punishable by two to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. (ESPN)
FFToday's Take: The Chiefs are likely to be dealing with a suspension of Rashee Rice in 2025 due to his involvement in a multi-car wreck back in March of 2024. Who knows what kind of punishment Worthy will get from the league, but it's possible the Chiefs could be without their top two receivers for a portion of the upcoming season.
