Outlook Rashee Rice

Rashee Rice Questionable for AFC West Showdown in Denver

Rice remains questionable heading into Week 8 after missing consecutive games with a hamstring injury, though he maintains the top slot receiver role on Kansas City's depth chart. With Tyquan Thornton sidelined on injured reserve, Rice steps into high-leverage targets if active, but fantasy managers must check back often for the latest news on his game-day status.

If he plays, our projections forecast Rice for roughly 4 receptions and 57 yards (12.4 fantasy points). Fantasy managers have grown cautious, with his start rate dropping to 27%. In a low-scoring divisional environment against Denver, he profiles as a risky flex option with clear upside if he avoids a snap count.

Outlook Jonah Coleman

Jonah Coleman vs KC — Carving Out Value in Denver's Backfield

Fresh off injured reserve, rookie Jonah Coleman made an immediate impact with 69 total yards on 11 touches against Arizona. Head coach Sean Payton noted postgame that the team definitely needs to get him more touches. With Tyler Badie on injured reserve, Coleman has quickly solidified his role in Denver's backfield rotation alongside J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey.

Our weekly projection forecasts Coleman for roughly eight to nine carries, two targets, and 42 scrimmage yards (7.6 fantasy points). Fantasy managers have taken notice, driving his roster rate up to 64%, though his start rate sits at just 8%. In a tight divisional matchup, he profiles as a priority stash and viable deep-league option whose workload could surge.
