Chiefs' Rashee Rice (hamstring) ready to make playoff debut
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice doesn't have an injury designation for Saturday's Wild Card Game against the Miami Dolphins.
What It Means:
Rice practiced in a full capacity all week and is ready to make his playoff debut. He only had 2 catches on 2 targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in Week 9 when the Chiefs played the Dolphins in Germany, but the rookie's role grew significantly over the latter half of the season. Rice and Travis Kelce should draw the bulk of the targets from Patrick Mahomes on Saturday night.
numberFire's models project Rice for 11.8 FanDuel points in the Wild Card Round, with 8.4 targets, 5.6 receptions, and 65.4 yards. The Dolphins ranked 22nd in FanDuel points allowed per game to wide receivers this season, but their pass defense finished in the top-10 of our opponent-adjusted efficiency rankings.
