Chiefs’ Top Offensive Contributor Who Deserves His Flowers

Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was the whole package for the Chiefs last night in Dallas, helping the offensive attack in the best way he knows how. The Chiefs had missed Rice through the first six weeks of the season, and he's done a strong job in making up for that time lost.

Last night, Rice led the Chiefs' wide receiving room with back-to-back strong performances. Against the Cowboys, Rice hauled in 92 receiving yards in eight receptions, scored two touchdowns, and was Mahomes' right-hand man through it all.

Since returning, Rice has been the leading receiver for the Chiefs in three different games: Week 9 vs the Buffalo Bills (80 receiving yards, four receptions, one touchdown), Week 12 vs the Indianapolis Colts (career high 141 receiving yards, eight receptions), and Week 13 against the Cowboys (92 receiving yards, two touchdowns).

How Rice Can Help the Chiefs to the Promise Land

If there is ever a time for Mahomes to lean on one of his wide receivers, it's down the final stretch of the regular season. The Chiefs are in a situation where they must win out, and Rice is the best option to continue to target and move the offensive approach through.

Xavier Worthy and Travis Kelce, along with Hollywood Brown, should be supporting characters in this Rashee Rice hero narrative. At the end of the day, when healthy, Rice is the best receiving option the Chiefs have, hands down.

Rice should see targets in the double digits and hopefully receptions as well if the Chiefs want to run the offense through him. His speed and agility will come in handy and give the Chiefs the best chance at winning, so long as Mahomes can locate him and make it a habit of doing so.
