Rashee Rice Fantasy Football Outlook Following Latest Hollywood Brown Injury News

With the recent news that Marquise Brown would miss 4-6 weeks with a sternoclavicular injury, the Chiefs will likely get Xavier Worthy more involved as the big-play threat. After setting a record-breaking 4.21 40-yard dash at this season’s NFL combine, Worthy is expected to be able to help stretch the field for the Chiefs.

Rashee Rice is an entirely different type of receiver, however, and the receiver has a better fantasy floor. Rice’s 4.7 average depth of target (aDOT) was shallowest in the league among wideouts that ran 200 or more routes in 2023; however, he excels in gaining yards after the catch. Rice’s 8.27 average yards after catch was second only to Deebo Samuel among receivers with 60 or more receptions last season.
