Rashee Rice Injury Update
Rashee Rice went from a full participant in Wednesday's practice to a limited participant on Thursday due to an ankle injury. The rookie was able to return to Friday's practice in full and was left off of the team's final injury report on Friday. He will be good to go for Super Bowl LVIII.

Rice has had a great rookie campaign and ended the regular season as the top Chiefs wide receiver. The 23-year-old has recorded 20 receptions for 223 yards and a touchdown through the Chiefs' three playoff wins and is the only receiver not named Travis Kelce to catch more than six receptions in that span. Rice will be the top Kansas City wide receiver to play in DFS formats this weekend.
Skyy Moore Injury Update
Skyy Moore has been on injured reserve since Week 15 due to a knee injury. The second-year receiver has been practicing over the past month but has not made a return to action. Kansas City activated Moore this past Wednesday, and he put in a full week of practice. The 23-year-old was left off the team's final injury report and will be active on Sunday.

While there has been plenty of hype surrounding Moore since he was drafted in 2022, the second-year receiver has failed to live up to the hype and has been little more than a part-time receiver. Even in a shallow wide receiver room, Moore is not a recommended fantasy option for those playing in DFS tournaments this weekend.
Richie James Injury Update
Richie James was listed on this past week's injury report with a foot injury. However, the 28-year-old did not miss any practice time and was officially left off of the team's final injury report on Friday. James will be active for Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday and will be a key special teams contributor.

James recorded just 10 receptions in 2023 and was nothing more than a special team contributor. He is a skilled returner, but even in a struggling wide receiver room has failed to make any notable fantasy headlines. Fantasy managers should only count on Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce from the Chiefs' passing game this weekend in DFS tournaments.
