How the Chiefs will work WR Rashee Rice into the offense | Kansas City Star
For all the attention on the arm of the quarterback — still, well-earned — the Chiefs have led the NFL in yards after catch (YAC) in four of the past five seasons, per FTN data. They have a six-year streak of finishing in the top-three in the category. It’s their engine.
And now they’re about to make it turbocharged.
Rashee Rice will play his first game in more than a year Sunday when the Chiefs host the Raiders in a rare noon game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. When healthy — and we ought to remember his yearlong absence is not just this year’s six-game suspension for a street racing incident in Dallas that caused him a jail sentence but season-ending knee surgery a year earlier — he offers Mahomes his best weapon.

What we’re hearing on the Chiefs: Everyone in the Chiefs’ facility knows how excited WR Rashee Rice is to make his return from a six-game suspension, including QB Patrick Mahomes. “He’s going to want to be out there every single play. … It’s going to be our job, as teammates and coaches, to build him back the right way.” A good balance for Rice could be getting him the ball early and keeping him on the field for roughly 50% of snaps. — Nate Taylor

Chiefs get Rashee Rice back from suspension
Rice’s return means the Chiefs will finally have their full complement of wide receivers. It will mark the first time Rice, Xavier Worthy and Marquise Brown will all be on the field together for a regular-season game.
“I think they’re looking forward to it maybe even more than I’m looking forward to it. They’re excited to play together, those three are very close,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said this week. “It will be great to get him (Rashee Rice) back going and in the swing.”
