Latest WR Updates

Rashee Rice will be a polarizing player in drafts now that he’s been sentenced for his role in a car crash. There’s been conflicting reports about a possible suspension, with ESPN’s Adam Schefter suggesting a multi-game ban is likely and others like Mark Maske of The Washington Post citing sources that say it’s premature to conclude Rice will be suspended. Chiefs’ beat writer Matt Derrick was told by people within the organization that they believe Rice could be forced to sit out two to four games. I always encourage people to follow Football Guys’ Drew Davenport, who does an excellent job analyzing all aspects of legal cases that involve fantasy players. From my view, I still want to get Rice on as many teams as possible this season. I’m willing to find a replacement for the opening weeks, if it means I’ll get a potential fantasy WR1 in the fourth round or later. It all comes down to how much risk you’re willing to accept.
After missing 10 games last season due to a dislocated ankle, Chris Godwin carried some extra risk with his fantasy profile in 2025. His outlook took a turn for the worst when ESPN’s Jenna Laine recently reported that Godwin underwent a second procedure on his ankle this spring. The veteran is currently on the PUP list and his status for the start of the season is unknown. When you combine that with Bucs’ first-rounder Emeka Egbuka shining in camp, it’s forced me to move Godwin down into the WR3/flex range with Egbuka only a couple spots behind him. As I said on the Fantasy Forecast a few weeks ago, Egbuka is one of the best values in fantasy drafts.
You may notice that a couple of overqualified No. 2 receivers — Rome Odunze and Jaylen Waddle — continue to move up my rankings. The combination of talent, opportunity and positive training camp buzz points towards them taking on bigger roles this year and possibility emerging as their team’s top target if the older veterans on their rosters (DJ Moore, Tyreek Hill) drop off in any way. Odunze and Waddle are safe fantasy WR3s with very high ceilings.
