A lot just happened in the NFL. It's going to affect your fantasy teams. Look, this is everything

0:04.6

you need to know when heading to your waiver wires before week eight. And we'll begin with one of

0:09.0

the top ads of the week who is available in over 50% of fantasy leagues right now. It's the

0:13.4

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashi Rice, who we've talked about a bunch in the past,

0:16.6

but it continues to get better for him. Look, Rice is now creeping towards the top five. Out of all receivers in the league, not just rookies and wide receiver efficiency, his yards

0:24.7

yards per route run. Because with no Justin Watson in week seven, in a game where the

0:28.5

chiefs dominated over 400 passing yards for Patrick Mahomes, 300 plus in the first half,

0:32.9

Rashi Rice operated as the wide receiver 3. Right here, you can see 40 snaps, 30 routes run,

0:37.4

but a team high amongst the wide receivers,. Right here, you can see 40 snaps, 30 routes run, but a team high

0:59.0

and a touchdown, had a nice touchdown early in the game, had a big catch when Kansas City was

1:02.7

backed up against their goal line for about 30 plus yards. Now, this is pretty common for rookies.

1:07.7

We start to see their role expand as the year goes on. And it's happening

1:11.1

pretty early for him, just the first six or seven weeks of the year. And when you really break

1:14.9

down Rashi-Rice wide receiver competition in the mold of receiver, MvS is an outside field

1:19.1

stretcher. We saw that with his 46-yard touchdown this past week. Skymore really hasn't done much

1:24.0

at all. Last year, hasn't done much, sadly, we hoped for more this year,

1:27.5

but now it's been Rashi Rice. He's the guy who can move the chains based on his size.
