Rashee Rice will serve a six‑game suspension to open the season for violating the NFL personal conduct policy, with a return slated for Week 7 against the Las Vegas Raiders. The discipline was overseen by Sue L. Robinson, and Rice’s case follows a Dallas crash sentencing that included jail time and probation. In 2023 Rice logged 79 receptions for 938 yards and 7 TDs; he tore his knee in Week 4 of 2024, missing the rest of the season. Kansas City began with eight WR on the initial 53‑man roster—Rice, Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith‑Schuster, Tyquan Thornton, Nikko Remigio, Jason Brownlee, and Jalen Royals—creating a volatile but rich target pool for fantasy players.
