After six weeks without their WR1, the Kansas City Chiefs finally have their steadiest pass-catcher available on Sunday afternoon.

The Chiefs brought Rashee Rice back into the fold vs. the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7. The former first-round pick spent each of the opening six weeks on the sidelines due to a suspension related to a 2023 arrest that stemmed from a high-speed car wreck.

Kansas City certainly needed him back. The Chiefs limped to a 3-3 record without Rice in their ranks, far from the dizzying heights they achieved at the same point last season.

At his best, Rice is a spark plug, adept at turning Patrick Mahomes' efforts into lengthy gains.

Rust would be understandable. Rice was felled by injury in 2024, while Kansas City has struggled to find a rhythm with the ball in its grasp.

But if he can offer performances even somewhat reminiscent of his glistening rookie season, it would prove a big help to Andy Reid’s bunch.

The Sporting News tracked Rice’s performance in his return vs. Las Vegas on Sunday. Follow below for a closer look at the numbers behind Rice’s showcase.
