Rashee Rice misses practice, affecting Chiefs' passing strategy

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice missed practice on Wednesday due to a hamstring injury sustained in Week 4. With Rice absent and Tyquan Thornton out for an extended period, tight end Travis Kelce may see an increased role in the offense against the Los Angeles Chargers. Though Kelce scored a season-low 3.5 fantasy points last week, he remains a top target for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, tied for the eighth-most fantasy points among tight ends entering Week 6. Other potential beneficiaries include wide receivers Xavier Worthy, Jalen Royals, and rookie Cyrus Allen if Rice is unable to play.
