After remaining eerily quiet about the Chiefs’ receiver’s impending legal battle over the summer, the NFL issued an update on Rice’s case that should have Rice’s fantasy managers feeling very encouraged about his prospects in 2024. Despite the ongoing investigation into his street racing incident, Ian Rapaport reports that the NFL is unlikely to take action against Rice to punish him as long as the investigation remains open and stones remain unturned. Rice appears set to enter the 2024 season without a suspension after having his ADP deflated significantly in drafts as a result of a potential suspension hanging over his sophomore campaign. However, the potential for an in-season suspension to be instituted remains a possibility, especially as the investigation proceeds in the coming days, weeks, and months. However, the largest takeaway from Rashee’s situation is the massive discount at which he was selected in many a fantasy draft over the summer, and even today – without the suspension, Rice would be getting talked about as a potential top-15 or even top-12 fantasy receiver. The additions of Hollywood Brown and Xavier Worthy complicate things in the pecking order, especially with Travis Kelce in the house… however, Rice proved he can command a high target share in his rookie season and will likely continue to do so as long as he’s on the field.
