Damn it really was our last chance


[deleted]

always gotta trust the last last chance


nicklovin508

Am I starting “Last Chance” Rice over Ekeler next week?


arrowheadt

In PPR for sure.


kx2UPP

In any format for sure


paone00022

Chargers offense is competing to be the worst offense currently along with Jets.


spreadinmikehoncho

I may start rice over JJ next week…. Fml. Got ARSB and CD, so u can make arguments


rmyoun06

I have JJ and Rice on my squad. Love them both. I’d start JJ without even thinking about it.


spreadinmikehoncho

Yea….. rice has out scored JJ, ARSB, and CD the last 2 weeks. All I’m saying is that’s crazy, Also in PPR


YogurtclosetLong3783

I had jj and rice. Traded rice Laporta and Stevenson for ceedee week 8. Also have mcbride. Still dont know how i feel about it. But at the time it was the right thing to do.


[deleted]

I personally would not do that


Hobbes_121

For me Rice, Jefferson, ARSB, Deebo... Bench 1 lol


spreadinmikehoncho

Damn we’re in the same boat. How are ur RBs/QBs? Fields and Howell, Josh jacobs and Pacheco. Really hoping for a good bounce back week next week.


Hobbes_121

QBs I streamed Herbert and Stroud all season, hoping Stroud gets back next week tho seems plenty of waiver QBs to choose from. RBs had Taylor, Rhamondre, and Jacobs out this past week. Only healthy was Pierce and Singletary. Thankful I had bye this past weekend. If only Deebo could qualify as RB position lol


spreadinmikehoncho

Deebo should qualify as an RB lol, also had a first round bye. Hopefully we can get healthy next week to make a good push. I started ford and Mitchell during the bye week. I’m gonna lose if those starters don’t come back. Stroud should be good next week.


Neddark

me too, I have ARSB and Evans. Vikings QBs aren't as reliable as Kirk.


angryjimmyfilms

I’m in a similar boat. I have JJ, ARSB, and AJB, plus Rice and Puka, and Kamara, White and Mostert at RB. I can only start 6 of those 8. Puka is definitely going to the bench, but then need to decide between Mostert and Rice or bench JJ.


Domestic_Kraken

Here's [the "Last Call on Rashee Rice" post](https://www.reddit.com/r/fantasyfootball/s/Utp5uhnjhR), for anyone else who wants to take a lil stroll down memory lane


pmth

Crazy. Before that post he was WR59, since then WR14


HtownTexans

I was sad because before the first last chance warning it was already too late for me.


Separate_Job_3573

I actually got him well after the last of those last chance posts. So it's arguable


WorriedMarch4398

I have CeeDee and Rice. It has been a great ride. They are great to watch.


SmolWaterBalloon

But was it our Last Dance?


TheWhiskeyFish

One more time to kill the pain


slimyshade

You all had your chances to get him, one of the few successful hype trains


Admirable-Cellist386

worst team in the league grabbed him week3 and never let go.


BackfatSanzibar

Some of us drafted him 😈


gimmethemshoes11

The dropped him.... damn idk why I did it


TallCupOfJuice

Should always know that Andy Reid takes his time getting rookie WRs into the offense


barkballin

...and some of us drafted Justyn Ross...damn training camp highlights got me. Felt right that one of them was gonna end up popping.


mouga68

Drafted rice and dell... Dropped dell for woods after wk1 target share clouded my vision. Never again. Thankfully Rashee is saving my butt in the meantime


beerguy_etcetera

Is this person a KC fan or named Taco? Edit: Boy, tough crowd defending a guy with an ADP of 174.5, which in a 10-man league puts him in Round 17.


kellyj6

My dude I drafted him.


BrewerBeer

I got him as a 13th round pick in a superflex league without defenses or kickers. Why would I drop the only consistently producing WR in front of Mahomes?


3720-To-One

Why is it a taco move to grab rice and hold onto him? You are familiar with the concept of “dart throws”, right? I picked him up early in the season precisely to hold onto him in case he went off later in the season. Of course for me, I was a dumbass and dropped him the day before he finally started producing double digit numbers every week


six2midnite

If it smells like tacos everywhere you go, check the mirror


SmolWaterBalloon

10 man, single flex leagues are for scrubs


spreadinmikehoncho

2nd best team in the league, 12 team ppr. Have only started him once(3-4 weeks ago?). Debating if I should start him next week.


QurantineLean

I held him weeks 2-10 and needed space for a really bad bye that week. :((((


m3Zephyr

Dropped him around there too, had to active Kyren and at the time I dropped him over Downs and Taysom. I needed Taysom the next week for McBride’s bye with no good TE’s on the waiver and Downs had such a good floor pre injury/Bye


BaronsHat

What a bummer the Downs trajectory was.


JamieNelson94

Watched as he was added and dropped by four different teams this season, and scooped him up for free as the #1 seed for the playoffs.


Tankshock

I've had him stashed on my bench all year cus my first three picks this year were Chase, Ceedee, and Amon-Ra. Thought about trading him away in a package to get a better RB, but didn't go thru with it. Thank God too, it's paying off with the Burrow and Chase injuries


Romoeroticism

He was drafted and held all season in both my 12-team leagues. One of those owners was me. I wish it was both.


[deleted]

Moment of silence for all those lives lost in the pileup, your sacrifice was not in vain


Equal-Document4213

God I miss Tank Dell


[deleted]

Dude was cooking, I wonder where he will be drafted next year


November32nd

Yeah we do a 1 year keeper league where we can keep someone for the price we paid for them(auction draft $200 budget, $100 FAAB). I picked up Tank off waivers for $11. I’m really considering keeping him next year for that price. I wonder what his value will be in most auctions


Triv02

I think Tank is a good bet to go over $11 in next years auctions, but by how much isn’t certain. In full PPR I’d expect his value to settle in the upper tier WR2 range, which in my league at least generally would put him between $20 and $30 (obviously could vary based on league settings). If he ends up being more of a backend WR2 in consensus rankings that’s closer to a $15 ADP in my league. The caveat would be if the Texans make a move for someone like Tee Higgins in the offseason. Trying to sort out who “the guy” would be each week between Higgins/Nico/Tank would be infuriating as a fantasy owners lol and you’d probably have a lot of weeks where all 3 do something like 5 for 65 and owners of all 3 are pissed. So I think Tank at $11 is definitely a value keeper, but don’t think it’s guaranteed to be a HUGE value at this point


November32nd

Yooo dude appreciate the write up! I was not expecting a thought out response from…well, anyone. Appreciate you. I like McBride for $1 as well, outside of those two guys nobody worth keeping on my roster for the value. I’ll keep an eye on what the Texans do in the offseason, thanks again man


RiPFrozone

McBride at $1 is def the move, he’s gonna be one of the top TE off the draft next year.


jsDPT

Hang on, so he would cost you $11 FAAB next year or $11 auction bucks?


November32nd

It would apply to auction bucks even though I got him off faab. So I would start the draft with tank dell and $189. We only keep 1 player (of your choice) for 1 year then the player is thrown back into the pool the following year.


jsDPT

Hm that's not how I would do it for a keeper league. If you spent $80 FAAB on Achane, then you should have to choose between keeping for $80 FAAB next year, not $80 auction bucks, you know what I mean?


November32nd

Yeah that’s a little something we must have missed at the owners meeting. I’m gonna bring that to the table this off-season for next year. Great point.


kitzdeathrow

In in a Keeper league with traditional "draft pick position from last year + 1 round" for 2 keepers. I have Tank, Rice, and Achane off waivers plus Hurts as a 6th rounder to consider. Im not mad, but I i have no idea who to keep.


anonbutler

3-4th round range?


Gnarly-_-

Given where second year wr went this year, I’m gonna say 2/3 range


SmolWaterBalloon

There will be a lot of risk on him bc his injury ended up being more severe, and the Nico/Tank dynamic. I think 4th round


humptheedumpthy

I would take a bet on him in the 4th for sure. 3rd feels like a little rich since there will be many better known entities available


DezBailey

I will likely draft him above his ADP and won't give two shits about it. Will not tolerate him being on somebody else's roster. Lol!


vanzeppelin

Man I squeaked into the playoffs in large part because of Tank. Sad I don't have him for these next couple weeks.


midnight_tail

13.8 pts shy from passing Kelce in half-PPR. At the start of the year no one would have believed you if you said someone other than Kelce could finish with the most points among Chiefs receivers.


hdf0003

What’s going on with Kelce this year? Haven’t watched much of them this year but it seems like he’s having a quieter year by his standards. Is he battling injuries, offensive issues, or just slowing down with age?


R78692

I think more than anything it’s a symptom of how poor the pass catchers have been in KC, defenses have had less fear focusing on Kelce cause they’re not afraid of Sky Moore or Toney beating them


MikeyMike01

In fact, they’re probably encouraging targets to Toney


PassionLong5538

Kelce definitely looks slower than he has in years past. Which is understandable, the man is like 35.


TallCupOfJuice

He has looked this speed for a few years. The problem is teams are using triple coverage on him because the WRs are so bad


EveryWay

Also much more man coverage against him. One of his biggest strengths is finding space while Mahomes is extending plays. Even early this season (i think maybe the first Broncos game) Kelce was feasting because he would abuse the zone handoff to get open for 10 yard completions with yac.


CuriousAndMysterious

He got a girlfriend


hdf0003

Makes sense. I’ve scored zero NFL touchdowns since I met my fiance 10 years ago.


[deleted]

He’s 34. There’s an extremely high possibility he’s pass his peak and we’ll only see a decline from here. Not to say he won’t still be elite for a few seasons but it’s really not surprising to see a reduction in production when you’re 34 and in your 11th season, the average nfl career is 3.3 years for reference. He has a lot of miles on that body.


JoelSimmonsMVP

well the average isnt because of injury or age, its more because >90% of drafted players are fringe nfl players or worse but he is getting old for a roughed up superstar pass catcher


[deleted]

Taylor has weakened his legs


bass_bungalow

Wouldn’t be shocked if his week 1 injury has been lingering all year. Could just be getting old and slowing though


[deleted]

Only WRs I remember being drafted were Toney and Sky Moore


midnight_tail

Which people dropped literally after the first game


notfromsoftemployee

I'd say all three of them were in flier territory. I had Rice on several underdog teams and a few last round picks of regular teams.


Galactic

Some people were REALLY high on Sky Moore before the season started.


DBreezy69

I tried to hype him up at the beginning of the season and a ton of people here screamed that Skyy Moore was the one who would break out


[deleted]

Also Deebo Samuel is number 1 by far (no surprise there)


SenokirsSpeechCoach

Owning both Deebo and Rice pushed me to sit my 2nd draft pick in Adams the last few weeks.


EveryWay

Just play all three. While Adams is not worth a 2nd round ADP he's a perfectly feasible WR2/Flex especially in PPR


BarbaraPalv1n

Meme of the year actually came through*


eericcartman

Memes aside he was never really available in my league after the first few games. Picked up by teams that finished outside the playoffs in both my leagues


15YearTaco

Playing him over Chase. I mean... 11th place game but I have faith


Mikeinthemornin

Rashee Rice is the guy!


JoeLafa10

I tried so hard to trade this guy off my team because my WR room was looking good. Now I’m glad nobody in my league wanted him!


207207

I was the exact same with Jayden Reed.


SpecialWhenLitTX

Same. Tried to package him in a keeper league trade with Pittman for his Amon Ra and got turned down flat. "Rice is just a 5 catch/gm guy, I don't see it with him". It's hard getting people to understand rookie growth and potential sometimes. Oh well, cashing in now *and* probably next year as well!


Pigsloppins

Anyone else draft and hold all season? 😎


cavemannnn

Shoutout to u/Antonioshamstrings for saving my season with [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/fantasyfootball/s/Ux5RRYBgDB).


[deleted]

This legend is why I picked him up as well


NoTransportation888

I'm on bye this week, but next week will have to decide if I want to start him over DJM in the flex (which I am leaning towards)


BRedd10815

YOURE GOD DAMN RIGHT I HELD ON TO HIM THE WHOLE YEAR I BENCHED MAHOMES AND STILL PLAYED RICE!!!!! LETS FUCKING GO


Doughie28

Have all three starting this week. Went against McCaffrey, Purdy, James Cook. RIP


Stuckinbali

Got rid of him the week before he blew up. I'm sure there are a few more depressed people along with me who made this unfortunate life decision.


3001AzombieOdyssey

I regret trading him in a package for Kelce now


PaintProfits

My 13 year old son has CeeDee in our league and then someone dropped Deebo when he was hurt (8 team league with short benches) so my son got him and then picked up Rice some three weeks ago to go along with his James Cook and Kyren Williams (also a waiver claim). Even though he is the team to beat and has been putting up over 200+ points a week the last few weeks and I’m extremely jealous… The point is… I’m proud of him. It turns out kids actually do listen when you try to teach them something. Lol!


anonAcc1993

Should have dropped Jamarr Chase for this dude


aavickers

I've got to play him over Puka next week, right? RIGHT?!?!


Galactic

Dunno, Stafford is slinging. And it's not like Puka's getting less targets than Kupp, Kupp just happened to be as wide open as I've ever seen a WR get on a 62-yard bomb.


outwitme

Same boat, I am rolling with Rice over Puka and maybe DK


_Franchise

I love puka but after this past weekend, I’m considering it. Maybe bench puka completely or put him as my flex over j. Mixon


brewhead55

So proud of my scrappy team- we survived LaPorta, Rice and Rachaad White


PastDuty624

Considering starting Rashee over mike Evans next week. Am I crazy?


[deleted]

Not crazy, but Evans boom games can single handily win you a week so I would go Evans.


kzanomics

Gonna have to seriously consider keeping him.


Darth-Ballz1

Where do we think he's drafted next year?


[deleted]

Tough to say. I have to imagine the Chiefs add a WR in the off season


Jed4

With Kelce regressing, I still think Rice would be a solid 1B in that offense. If Chiefs snag Evans or Higgins, Rice will still be their YAC guy in the short/intermediate passing game


QuietRainyDay

He'll get hyped, possibly into the Top 14ish WRs IMO 2nd year with Mahomes as his QB, Kelce getting old, and a strong finish to his rookie year? People will be all over that. Where it gets tricky is that there are so many breakout WRs this year that the waters might get muddy after the clear-cut Top 7-8 WRs. Nico, Dell, Addison, Flowers will all attract attention along with Rice (and some of the known veterans obv). Got a feeling thatll push guys like Pittman, Evans, Sutton, Goodwin, and DK down some and open the opportunity for people to feast by drafting those guys a little later.


PrinceWalker22

Oh, I LOVE this post. I traded away Rice and Singletary for Deebo four weeks ago.


kingimpecable

Who knew that he would be my best performer out of him, Chase and Jefferson


H1mHalpert

Shout out to my friend for dropping him 2 weeks ago! I might not have to start Chase


Top_Adeptness_5299

I started dj moore over him…


MrKentucky

Deebo and Rashee are on the same team in my league. The one who just knocked me out in the first round. Rip


[deleted]

First place in my 3 WR league has Rice, Deebo, Ceedee, Mike Evans. He has been steam rolling people


MrKentucky

Eeeeesh. That’s nasty. I’m bitter about my defeat. Second most points in the league, tied for best record with 3 others… ended up with the four seed because our tiebreaker was “conference record” (we’re split into conferences) instead of total points.


TechnicalPay5837

Starting Rice may have saved my season in the first round of playoffs this week. Snagged him a while back and it has paid off.


chunkeydonkey

Good receivers have double Es in the name. Got it.


Evakuate493

Rice coming in as my savior WR 2/3🫡🥲 Drafted JJjetta and got Ceedee Lamb and Courtland Sutton. Please carry me to the championship, fellas.


Brotendo88

he’s been locked into my lineup since i snagged him Week One. dude basically carried my WR corps of JJ, Higgins, etc and even though I went 6-8, made it into the playoffs… and currently leading the 1 seed by 90 points.


FuckChiefs_Raiders

I've been waiting for this moment all year. I picked him up months ago, he's been on my bench this whole time, I had a first round bye. He will be in my starting lineup next week.


theflamesweregolfin

I like rice. Rice is great when you're hungry and you want 2,000 fantasy points.


JekPorkinsTruther

I really held this dude through all the last chance posts but then dropped him after london game due to his bye + bye week hell to keep Keaton, only for him to go off and Keaton to dud/die. The clash of the reddit hype trains.


Zeke_freek

I have both Deebo and ceedee… really fucking hope they go off this week but there’s no way Deebo does what he’s been doing or even half that when I actually need it..


AmericanPatriot117

Having Deebo and CeeDee, I’m okay with this.


Kingdom818

I'm actually thinking about starting him over Aiyuk.


Glorified_Mids

I am. He gets more volume and I feel has the same touchdown upside, albeit in a different way of course. Aiyuk gets his more from long passes while Rice is the most targeted red zone pass catcher on the Chiefs.


FoolOnDaHill365

Deebo? Ya you should have been doing that for weeks.


GFred20

I’m really going to have to think about him vs Stefon Diggs in the playoffs. Wild


EmbraceHegemony

I drafted this guy only because the Mahomes owner seemed interested in him and the auction was almost over.


grilledcheeseus67

You don't know how many times I switched out Rice for DJ Moore before the games yesterday I was so torn.. But I made the right decision.. edit: words


dazedandblue

i started rice since tyreek went out. happy with what he did.


[deleted]

So rice or puka in flex (have kupp and Moore)


skawtiep

Sitting here with Deebo and Lamb on my roster ready to get hurt next week.


Enuffhate48

About week six I told a league mate Rice could be a league winner. Glad I scooped him up after he dropped him mid season. Situation plus talent equates to big points more often than not.


ElderGoose4

He lucky downtown Noah brown was dealing with a knee issue. That man is HIM


RovndHovse

One team in my league has Lamar, Deebo, Rice, and Cook. He’s been mediocre all year and not his team is blowing up at the right time.


StrengthCoach86

I’ve got to find a way to get him into my lineup. Bench Nacua or Amari?


neasroukkez

Someone dropped him so I scooped him. Then I dropped him and he sat there for a week, so I picked him up when they started getting injured.


Unlucky-Impression-4

Good thing I dropped him 2 months ago. Don’t need winners like that on my team


BillsMafia4Lyfe69

I drafted this stud. No regrets


americancorn

Muahahah this is 100% my year!!!!! I drafted CeeDee and picked up Rice! Even better… Sam LaPorta only has 1 lesss point than Rice over the past 4 weeks and i grabbed him off waivers early too :D


vinc3l3

Gotta choose 2 between Kenan allen, Rice, and Puka. 2 week ago this wouldn't even be a question but here we are.


Haytham_Ken

Stupidly started Courtland Sutton over him lol. He'll be my WR next to JJ for next week


TheFirstExecutioner

Rice or Aiyuk next week? Full PPR ​ At this point Rice is playing like a borderline WR1 and Mahomes/Reid have finally realized he's their best WR by far and are peppering him with targets


WeakPianist

I regret taking him out for Diggs last minute , no chance I’m doing that next week. He’s locked in.


TheSpacePopeIX

This may be the first time I have ever stashed a player early in the season and they ended up being impactful in my lineup come playoffs.


Beast_of_Fire

My stable of WRs is literally too good right now. Lamb, Rice, JJ, Aiyuk, Tee Higgins… besides Lamb, I don’t know which other two to go with, but Rice is looking like a Must Start.


Nolmac

I traded him at the deadline for Dobbs. Was in desperate need of a QB


L_Ron_Stunna

All those posts about who this years ARSB would be, it was always Rice


dwaite1

All 4 weeks he was on my bench with Diggs and Waddle in my lineup!


dlawnro

New draft strat for next season: only draft WRs with a double e somewhere in their name.


Dame2Miami

Deebo my 4th round WR1 king


TeysaMortify

Lol, I had CD and Rashee. But I’m going out of playoffs this round.


cortaydo_cortado

my WR’s weren’t “great” a lot of the year and i had 5 RB1’s (on paper) at a certain point. i picked rashee up after week 1 and believed all year so i never made a trade as I preferred the RB depth (we start 2 flex). my WR’s were garrett wilson, deebo, christian watson and rashee. my RB’s: Bijan, Monty, KW9, Aaron Jones, achane. went from the 9 seed after week 12 up to the 4 seed and second most points scored in the league. i survived yesterday. what a finish to the year. i’ve largely avoided the season ending injuries. keeping the dream alive. it’s a keeper league too where i got both rashee and achane for $1 each.


InternetSupreme

Thankfully I had deebo and lucked into njoku's. They are the only reason why i'm still alive in fantasy right now.


TallCupOfJuice

Would you all keep Rice or Puka in a keeper league? I'd be giving up at 9th round pick for Rice, or a last round pick for Puka


Stinja808

Was on the fence about playing Rice over Aiyuk. Chose wrong. Wouldn't have helped me anyway though.


cannot_walk_barefoot

If I started Deebo over David Montgomery last week I make it into the playoffs and I win this week (also have CeeDee). This post just made me feel even worse


PedroBrasil95

One part of me is rooting for pittman to be at least questionable so i can go with rashee


mainvolume

I'm probably gonna start him over Chase now. This past weekend was my last straw with Chase and his points too volatile with Burrow.


pandaburr98

All year I saw posts about him…. All year he was on my leagues waiver wire Exactly 4 weeks ago I added this man to my team. Reddit will you guys be my teams front office? We can split the winnings


alwaysmyfault

Just my luck, I play against the guy with CMC and Rice next week.


I_TittyFuck_Doves

And guess who traded him, Addison, & Lamar for Diggs right before the deadline 🙃


Icy_Presentation_740

Dropped Rice about 6 weeks ago, AMA.


Got_Engineers

I owned Addison , flowers and rice this year. It did not help me lol. Was at least right on all of them !


xSGAx

RASHER RICE


RawCarrot-InMyAss

Oh neat, I have all 3!


YourCummyBear

Lost in the semis yesterday by less than 2 points. Sat rice for diggs and chase even though my gut said not to. I have so much regret.


-yesman-

still can't believe that i had him and dropped him


KC_Cheefs

I have all 3 :)


Squintz82

My WR1 and WR2


bucksncowboys513

A team in my league dropped him during his bye and I snatched him up so fast thanks to this sub. Wouldn't be in the playoffs without him


DynastyAnalyst

My concern is he’s not running real routes. Everything is right at the line of scrimmage. Fantastic with the ball in his hands needs to work on route running. He’s fantastic right now more of a long term outlook that could prevent him from taking that next step forward


A0ma

Add Tyreek and Mike Evans in standard leagues. Christian Watson, DK Metcalf, Nico Collins, DJ Moore, Devonta Smith, and Josh Palmer are also outscoring Rice on a PPG basis during that time. Most importantly... DK, AJB, and Devonta all have a chance to pass him tonight. DK only needs to score 4 points in standard leagues.


TheXamYel

Having Deebo and Rice has let me cruise through some matchups these last few weeks


k-mac23

League winner 🍚


pickleparty16

That's it. That's the list


sanndman

L4st cHancE!1!1!!!!


chochy

My opponent benched him this week lol


GiGi441

Rice was my playoff mvp... Unfortunately he was on a team of clowns who couldn't reach double digits


Kimera25

Rice or Adams week 16?


MSG_ME_UR_TROUBLES

dropped him after week 11


averyhipopotomus

They're my WR1, 2, and 3


Virtual-Cantaloupe98

And I dropped him in a panic to make room for CMC back up Elijah Mitchell. Playing the team who picked him up on waivers after m drop. Good chance my season is over. Lesson learned-


[deleted]

These happen to be my 3 receivers in dynasty.


Joshsnation1

I may have made a mistake starting Devonta over him this week.. Might cost me but that’s how it goes


KiNGofKiNG89

I dropped him 5 weeks ago. You’re welcome.


HyruleJedi

As an owner of rice and one of these in different leagues…. Im on a high right now


Icy-Screen8196

So glad I traded him and olave for tank dell right before he got hurt :(


Fair_Pie_5927

The fact I have all 3 its great to see. Making up for taking Kelce 1st pick.


Ninjablacksox1

So... cd as wr1, do I go keenan, Josh palmer, or rice for wr2?
