Why It Matters: Rice has 15 targets in the last two weeks, but he's basically just an extension of the running game at this point with all the short aDOT throws he has been getting since returning from injury two weeks ago. He sees enough volume to be a regular fantasy starter, but he will likely struggle to pay off as a WR2 in fantasy in this edition of the Kansas City offense if he doesn't find the end zone in a given week. That said, he needs to be in lineups again in Week 10 versus the Falcons.
