In just three games last year, in 2024, Rashee Rice showed us that he was a contender for the overall WR1 finish in Fantasy Football. There are some worries about a potential suspension, but we have not heard anything about that suspension. We are going to break down exactly why you should not be sleeping on Rashee Rice.
Here are just some important stats for us that we will be looking at:
25.7% Target Share | 34.1% Target Rate | 43.1% Slot Rate
186 YAC on 288 receiving yards
64.9 FPTS
21.7 FPTS AVG.
This graphic breaks down exactly how Rashee Rice scored all of his points in the 2024 Fantasy Football Season:
Rashee Rice's scoring as a WR primarily came from yards and receptions, at 81.5% and 18.5% was scored from TDs, which is an 18.5% TD Dependency.
Rashee Rice is the primary slot receiver for Patrick Mahomes, meaning that Rashee Rice is the most versatile receiver on the team, with exceptional route-running skills and good speed.
With this, Rashee Rice was targeted on 85 of his routes in just three games, which equates to just under 10 targets a game. A WR with this high volume is extremely valuable, and not only that, but he also has the target share and rate to back up the volume. Rashee Rice also produced 186 yards after the catch on just 288 receiving yards, which is 64.53% of his yards made after the catch.
Final Takeaway
In 2024, Rashee Rice was projected to be the WR38 in fantasy, but based on his numbers, if we multiply his average points (21.7) by 17 games, Rashee Rice has a total of 368.9 fantasy points, which would have made him the WR2 right behind Ja'Marr Chase.
For the 2025 fantasy football season, Rashee Rice is ranked as the 65th overall pick on ESPN, around the same range he was drafted in last year, between the 5th and 7th rounds of fantasy drafts.
With the upside that Rashee Rice has already shown us he has, it's hard to sit here and think that he should fall this low again in fantasy drafts. The injury might have something to do with his low ADP, and the possible suspension, but he has had enough time to recover making great progress, and we still haven’t really heard all that much on the possible suspension.
