Rashee Rice injury update: Won't practice Wednesday ahead of Week 7 vs. Seahawks

Rashee Rice (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, with Andy Reid previously expressing optimism about a Week 7 return.

By Cole Hartwell

Rashee Rice (hamstring) won’t practice Wednesday, according to Underdog NFL.

What happened

Rice suffered a hamstring injury six snaps into Week 4’s matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, per RotoBaller. He did not practice before Week 6 and was ruled out for the game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

After the Chargers game, head coach Andy Reid expressed optimism that Rice would be available for Week 7’s game against the Seattle Seahawks, according to RotoBaller. Rice will not practice Wednesday, per Underdog NFL.

Context

Rice has 38.0 PPR points in four games this season, with 17 targets, 13 receptions, 190 receiving yards and one touchdown. He played 64% of snaps. In his last two full games, he had 9 targets, 7 catches and 88 yards in Week 3, and 6 targets, 4 catches and 83 yards in Week 2. Sleeper projects 12.7 PPR points for Week 7.

Depth chart

Xavier Worthy is the Chiefs’ top wide receiver on the Sleeper depth chart. He has 47.6 PPR points in five games with 29 targets, 21 receptions, 206 yards and one touchdown. Jalen Royals has 15.1 PPR points in five games. Tyquan Thornton has 44.9 PPR points in four games but is on injured reserve with an ankle issue, per Sleeper.

What’s next

Kansas City plays at Seattle on Sunday, October 25 in Week 7. Reid expressed optimism after the Chargers game that Rice would be available for that contest, per RotoBaller.

Rashee Rice (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Rice’s absence from Wednesday’s practice isn’t a game designation, but Reid’s post-Week 6 optimism keeps a Week 7 return possible. If Rice plays, his 12.7-point projection puts him in WR3/flex territory. If he sits, Xavier Worthy remains the top target (47.6 PPR points), and Jalen Royals could see increased looks, though his 3.0 points per game make him a desperation flex. Tyquan Thornton would be a factor if healthy, but he’s on IR per Sleeper.
