Rashee Rice, the Kansas City Chiefs' wide receiver, is gaining attention as a potential breakout player in the later half of the NFL season. Despite having a limited number of routes run, Rice is seeing a league-high 34.8% target per route run. Analysts believe that Rice's increased involvement in the offense could make him the team's number two pass catcher. Recent reports indicate that the Chiefs are giving Rice more playing time due to his ability to consistently get open. With his improved role, Rice has the opportunity to make a significant impact for the Chiefs in the coming weeks.
