Best Bets for Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Rashee Rice in Chiefs vs. Bengals for Week 17
By Joe Summers
5. Rashee Rice OVER 64.5 Receiving Yards (-110)
It's wild to live in a world in which someone other than Kelce has the highest projected receiving total, but that's how good Rice has been. He's the new engine for the offense with at least nine targets in five straight games, including 12 last week.
In those five games, Rice is averaging over 78 yards per game and shows considerable improvement against man coverage, showcasing more of a complete route tree.
15) This season, Rashee Rice faces a Bengals defense that gives up the 9th most fantasy points per game to wide receivers.

Rice has earned the trust of fans just like he's earned the trust of Mahomes. He's a budding star and he'll finish the year with a bang.
6. Rashee Rice Anytime TD Scorer (+120)
Rice leads the Chiefs in both red zone targets and receiving TDs, establishing himself as Mahomes' most trusted target within the 20 yard line.
He's got six TDs in his last 11 games, including two in his last three, and should get plenty of opportunities once again.
With the Bengals' leaky secondary, don't be surprised to see Rice bust a long run or find the end zone on a trick play like he did against the Patriots. It's Rice's world and we're just living in it.
