Rashee Rice Dubbed Top-10 NFL WR by Chiefs Insider Ahead of Return from Suspension

Rashee Rice hasn’t taken a snap in more than a year, but those within the Kansas City Chiefs organization have high hopes for their wide receiver.

According to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, one team source said Rice is now “a top-10 wideout in this league.”

The sample size on Rice is still small, considering he’s played just 20 regular-season games since he was drafted in 2023, but he started the 2024 campaign strong with 288 yards and a pair of touchdowns in three games before his season-ending injury.

Rice, who was suspended six games in August for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy, is set to make his season debut this week against the Las Vegas Raiders.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano reported earlier this week that Rice is in “peak physical shape” and is set to get a “heavy workload” against the Raiders. That will give him a prime opportunity to prove whether or not he truly is a top-10 receiver.
