2 years agoKansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was selected in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, suggesting Andy Reid and company have big plans for the SMU product right away. The team drafted Skyy Moore in round two last season and traded for Kadarius Toney -- meaning Rice, Toney, and Moore are the prime contenders to be the No. 2 option in the passing game behind Travis Kelce. Chiefs general manager Brett Veach said he envisions Rice replacing JuJu Smith-Schuster as the slot receiver with YAC skills, and while it's irresponsible to just go off what is being said, it certainly doesn't hurt his chances. Toney is an electric player, but he's struggled to stay healthy and prove himself as a legitimate wideout rather than a gadget player and Moore totaled just 250 yards in his rookie campaign. Ultimately, it's too early to know which player will emerge as the top wide receiver, but they all have a real chance. Toney is being drafted around the WR34 spot in early 2023 fantasy drafts, while Rice and Moore are coming off the board in the WR54-60 range. Given the discrepancy, Rice could be a tremendous value in an offense led by Patrick Mahomes. Although Toney has been in the league longer, there's no glaring proof he'll have a leg up in the competition. Rice has a low-end WR2 ceiling in 2023, but he could also be nothing more than a shaky flex option as he adjusts to the NFL game.--Jackson Sparks - RotoBaller
