Rashee Rice 2025 Fantasy Football Outlook: Is Rice Primed For A Third-Year Breakout?
Rashee Rice got off to a fast start in 2024. A popular breakout pick, he posted a 24-288-2 line on 29 targets over the season's first three games. It looked like Rice was on track for a big year. That came to a crashing halt when Rice tore his LCL in Week 4 and missed the rest of the season. It was a bitter end to what looked like a surefire breakout season. Despite the injury, gamers should be encouraged by what they saw in 2024. Albeit in a small sample, Rice had some very strong advanced metrics. Before his injury, Rice posted a 35% targets per route run as well as a remarkable 3.47 yards per route run per Fantasy Points Data Suite. He was clearly a focal point of the offense and looked like the Chiefs' top pass-catcher. Looming over Rice is a potential suspension due to a pending legal case. This would certainly ding his fantasy value. Mum's the word on this front, so for now, we will operate under the assumption he plays the entire 2025 season. Short of a suspension, fantasy gamers have every reason to be bullish on Rice's 2025 outlook. He's reportedly healthy and should resume his role as Kansas City's WR1. Bottom line: Rice is primed for a career year.
