Rashee Rice practised in full Thursday after a limited session Wednesday with hamstring and knee injuries. He is listed questionable for Sunday's match at home to the Jets.
Rice returned to action in Week 8 after missing three weeks, catching seven of eight targets for 53 yards and a touchdown against Denver. He had the most targets among Kansas City receivers that day, though Xavier Worthy played 94 per cent of snaps to Rice's 57 per cent. The full practice Thursday is a positive sign, but questionable status means managers should check the inactive list about 90 minutes before kickoff to confirm he plays.
Fantasy impact
Player by player
Rashee Rice
Rice caught seven of eight targets for 53 yards and a touchdown on 57 per cent of snaps in Week 8, posting 14.8 half-PPR points. Over his last three games he has averaged 12.5 half-PPR points on 7.7 targets, 6.0 receptions, 74.7 yards and 71 per cent of snaps, with a 25 per cent target share. He led Kansas City receivers in targets last week, though Worthy played nearly every snap.
This week's match at home to the Jets offers a tougher matchup: New York have allowed 23.6 half-PPR points a game to receivers, the 10th fewest of 32. Rice has averaged 2.5 half-PPR points a game above what his usage predicts over his last three games (25th of 179 receivers). A limited practice does not guarantee he plays, but the full session Thursday improves his chances. Hold him and confirm his status Sunday morning.
What to do
• Hold Rashee Rice and check the inactive list about 90 minutes before kickoff to confirm he is active.
• If Rice plays, start him as a WR2 or WR3 in half-PPR leagues, though the Jets have allowed the 10th fewest half-PPR points a game to receivers.
• Monitor Rice's status through Sunday morning, as questionable designation means his availability is not yet certain.
