Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice has received the most reps with the first-team offense since Kadarius Toney's knee injury, per Nate Taylor of The Athletic.
Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy said Rice is making improvements every day as he works through his first NFL training camp. Toney is uncertain for Week 1 and the Chiefs have one of the least-talented receiver groups in the league, so Rice could earn a significant role to start the season. The other wideouts competing for roles are Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Skyy Moore, Richie James, Justin Watson, and Justyn Ross.
Rice is currently the WR57 in numberFire's preseason rankings and our models project him for 70.9 targets, fourth-most among Chiefs wide receivers, with 46.1 receptions, 628.3 yards, and 4.49 touchdowns. MVS (WR46), Toney (WR49), and Moore (WR51) are the three Chiefs receivers ranked ahead of Rice.
