Rashee Rice ready to take a step forward
Fresh off the bye is the right time for the Chiefs to fully integrate their rookie wide receiver as a starter. Rice has shown flashes of big-time YAC ability but hasn’t been on the field for more than 70% of the snaps in any game this season and has mostly been limited to only in-breaking routes. I’d love to think there has been some development over the bye week and we’ll see Rice in more of a routine receiver role in Week 11.

Rookie Jayden Reed has easily been Green Bay’s most efficient pass-catcher this year, averaging 9.3 yards per target (Christian Watson is at 7.2, and Romeo Doubs lags at 5.8). Reed’s also coming off his best game (5-84-1 at Pittsburgh), producing despite a modest five targets and 56% route share. I feel comfortable assuming rational coaching from Matt LaFleur, and I know Reed can find holes against the Chargers pass defense, one of the worst in football.

He was the No. 4 fantasy receiver over the first five weeks with a healthy Justin Fields, averaging 106.2 yards while scoring five touchdowns. Moore’s averaged 52.4 receiving yards with zero TDs since Bagent took over in Week 6. Fields is set to return this week (albeit how much his thumb injury affects his throwing remains in question) in a…
