Which is certainly a step in the right direction for the 25-year-old wideout.<\/p>\n<p>Rice shared a video of himself training and going through footwork and route-running drills on April 29. And all signs point to him being on track for Week 1.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, there\u2019s still the off-the-field matter from 2024 that\u2019s clouding Rice\u2019s immediate future, as his civil court case has not yet reached a verdict. But no suspension is expected from the NFL until after a judge rules on this matter.<\/p>\n<p>In theory, that decision could come in 2025 or 2026, depending on whether or not Rice\u2019s hearing is pushed back.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Chiefs Star Rashee Rice Disrespected in WR Ranking<\/h2>\n<p>Analysts and fans seem to be sleeping on Rice\u2019s ability around the league. To be fair, that tends to happen when you miss the majority of a season with injury, but there\u2019s been a recent debate online involving Rice\u2019s 2025 ceiling \u2014 assuming health.<\/p>\n<p>On May 21, Pro Football Focus analyst Trevor Sikkema ranked Rice 28th among all wide receivers heading into the 2025 season. This placed him near the tail end of Sikkema\u2019s fifth WR tier.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRice missed a significant portion of the 2025 season due to injury, but his performance over the past two years remains strong, with receiving grades of 86.1 and 85.5,\u201d Sikkema acknowledged. \u201cHe totaled 1,200 receiving yards in 2023, and that level of production is well within reach again if he stays healthy in 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, based on his analysis, it feels like Sikkema agrees that Rice could once again rise in these rankings with a healthy campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Having said that, he still placed Rice behind inconsistent players like Chris Olave, Marvin Harrison Jr., Brandon Aiyuk, DJ Moore, Jaylen Waddle, DK Metcalf and more.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>NFL Fans Defend Chiefs WR Rashee Rice on Social Media<\/h2>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s a Chiefs fan or a member of the fantasy football community, many have come to Rice\u2019s defense on social media in recent weeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Rashee Rice doesn\u2019t serve a suspension this upcoming season, he will be a top 5 receiver in the league,\u201d one KC fan wrote on May 16. \u201cSome of yall Rice haters need to go watch the tape. He breaks 1-2 tackles for every catch he makes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On May 20, another user reminded: \u201cRashee Rice had 268 yards and 2 TDs in 3 games [by the way].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRashee Rice was a monster last year,\u201d chimed in Adam Best of Arrowhead Addict, reposting a WR graphic that placed him second in a combination of yards and targets per routes run in 2024. \u201cThe injury makes people forget, but he was on a scorching pace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another KC fan agreed, stating: \u201cI\u2019m going to say it\u2026 Rashee Rice [is the most underrated WR in the NFL]. He was on track to be an elite WR last season. Barring any suspension\u2026 the comeback will be electric. Top 10. I feel extremely confident in this take.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally, while checking a ranking similar to Sikkema\u2019s, a fantasy footballer noted that \u201cjust looking at this chart makes me realize Rashee Rice is still being undervalued.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"225553eff899ae27b919baa71b19311b\">\n<div>\n<article>Just looking at this chart makes me realize Rashee Rice is still being undervalued<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>With Rice on the comeback trail in 2025 and Patrick Mahomes also having Travis Kelce, Hollywood Brown, year two of Xavier Worthy, and rookies Jalen Royals and pass-catching RB Brashard Smith to work with, we could see a return of the Chiefs\u2019 explosive passing attack of old this season.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Obermuller covers the NFL for Heavy.com, where he began writing in 2021.
