When the Kansas City Chiefs face the Washington Commanders tonight, plenty of eyes will be on third-year Chiefs WR Rashee Rice, who made his season debut last week and is surely looking to keep firing on all cylinders in this matchup.
Rice, who tore his LCL 4 games into the 2024-25 NFL season and missed the rest of the year, was suspended for the first 6 games of the 2025 season as well for his role in an auto accident in Dallas during the 2024 offseason.
Let’s take a look at the Rashee Rice stats and PrizePicks projections you need to be aware of for this Monday Night Football showdown.
Rashee Rice Stats, Pick for MNF
It’s no secret that the dynamic of the Chiefs’ offense completely with and without their WR1 in the lineup. He has quickly established himself as QB Patrick Mahomes’ go-to WR on all levels of the field, especially the red zone where he had 4 of his 10 targets despite only running 19 routes in last week’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Rice now draws a solid matchup against the Commanders where he should be matched up against Commanders CB Marshon Lattimore for a good amount of the game. Lattimore has struggled in coverage this season, ranking 6th-worst in PFF grade among 100+ cornerbacks this season.

Rashee Rice Projection: 67.5 Receiving Yards
Last week, we saw a very underwhelming receiving yards projection and performance for Rice in his debut. The projection was set at 48.5 but Rice had less, finishing with 42 yards despite having 7 catches.
This week, we see more of a typical Rice projection that we’re used to seeing, and it comes in a matchup that he could take advantage of. The Commanders defense ranks 26th in receiving yards allowed to wide receivers and now they have to face Rice when he should be closer to a full snap share than he was in last week’s game.
With Patrick Mahomes already playing at an MVP level, the return of Rice to a full-time role bodes well for both player’s statistics, and you can use PrizePicks to put those assumptions to work.
