Rashee Rice Tests Positive for Marijuana, Violating his Probation

May 19, 2026, 2:30 PM ET

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has violated his probation after testing positive for marijuana, according to Matt Foster. He has been ordered to serve 30 days in jail, which means that he will miss the team's organized team activities and mandatory minicamp this month. The NFL announced in early April that Rice wouldn't face any league discipline per the NFL's personal-conduct policy after allegations from his girlfriend surfaced in early January. The 26-year-old could be facing another suspension to begin the 2026 season, though, after his most recent off-the-field transgression. Rice has plenty of talent on the football field, but his bad decisions off of it continue to be a concern that could cause the Chiefs to let him go after the final year of his rookie contract in 2026. He's poised to be KC's WR1 again this year, but another potential suspension hanging over his head could complicate his fantasy value in both dynasty and redraft leagues. The former second-rounder in 2023 out of SMU has played in only 12 games the last two seasons due to injuries and suspension, and he caught 53 of 78 targets for 571 yards and five touchdowns in eight starts in 2025. RotoBaller has Rice ranked as a top-10 fantasy WR, but that could change quickly based on whether the NFL chooses to suspend him again.--Keith Hernandez
