Rashee Rice Expected to Serve 'Multi-Game Suspension' For Connection to Street Racing Incident


Remember right at the beginning of this whole drama when we said not to panic sell Rashee Rice – and even to go and buy him? Can’t say we told you so, but we told you so. The way things are trending, it seems as though Rice will avoid any sort of career-altering/ending punishment from the league or law enforcement. That being said, he won’t go untouched for what will likely be chalked up to a violation of the NFL’s personal conduct policy. ESPN’s Adam Schefter suggests that a multi-game suspension is on the table for the Chiefs’ pass catcher, which obviously stings for his dynasty managers and prospective redraft managers – but with that suspension will come a drop in his draft price whenever the punishment is handed down. A four-game suspension would be quite easy to stomach for any managers savvy enough to pull off a trade for Rice, and at this point it’s abundantly clear that Rice’s playing career is not in jeopardy. But given the uncertainty around their star WR, the Chiefs are a likely candidate to draft a WR early – even with the addition of former Cardinals WR Marquise Brown on the books.
