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 2-4 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.
