Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is quietly becoming one of the most productive receivers in the NFL through three weeks of the 2024 regular season.
Despite the slow start from the Chiefs offense, Kansas City has found a potential star in its 2023 second-round pick, who has been one of the Chiefs’ most reliable receivers this season.
This season, it seems that Rice can get open on every play, especially when Patrick Mahomes needs him most, and fans around the league are starting to take notice.
On Tuesday, the NFL’s official Twitter account posted a list of the top five leaders in receiving yards heading into Week 4.
Rice was listed in second place behind Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins:
Nico Collins stays on top through Week 3!

The former SMU Mustang is developing into one of Kansas City’s most consistent contributors while star tight end Travis Kelce’s production has faltered in the Chiefs’ first three games.
Expect Rice to be a top threat for Kansas City’s offense when the Chiefs travel to face the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.
