Fantasy Football managers cannot catch a break with any Chiefs players. Rashee Rice is in concussion protocol and may not play in Week 16.
The Chiefs now find Rashee Rice on the injury report with a concussion, and it just makes the disappointment flow even worse in Kansas City. Rice can surely still play this week, but we must err on the side of caution.
If Rice is out this week, and it seems to trend that way, it will change up this already questionable offense. We will guide you along this tough path for Week 16.If Rice is out, it will elevate everyone else. Luckily, we have a sample size for the first six weeks of the season.Xavier Worthy also played to a much larger workload minus Rice.

Thornton is better suited to be a DFS sleeper pick than a Fantasy Football option.Rashee Rice got ROCKED in Sunday’s game and many were concerned about a possible concussion.He would need to have a limited practice on Thursday and a full practice on Friday in order to play on Sunday.Rice missed Wednesday practice, which bodes poorly as to his availability. When we combine this with the Chiefs now eliminated status, it would only make it more likely that Rice does not play. Nonetheless, there are incentives to competitiveness to be fielded. Thursday will be key for determining the availability of Rice. As for now, we expect it more likely than not that Rice is inactive.Thomas Carelli is a sportswriter based on Northern New Jersey.
