The Kansas City Chiefs need offensive firepower badly. After stumbling to a 2-3 start, Patrick Mahomes finally cracked 300 yards in Week 5 for the first time this season. But the real boost comes next week when their suspended weapon returns to the lineup.

A thirdwrote, “We’re starving Rashee.” A fourthadded, “We ready king!”
The desperation is absolute. Fans aren’t just excited about Rice’s Week 7 return against the Las Vegas Raiders. They’re counting down every single day.
The back-and-forth shows how much Kansas City has missed their 2023 second-round pick. Rice silently responds to the hype, letting his message do the talking.
The timing couldn’t be better for a team struggling to find rhythm. Tyquan Thornton currently leads the receiving corps with 272 yards and three touchdowns in his first Chiefs season.
Hollywood Brown sits at 257 yards. Travis Kelce has 243 yards with two scores. Solid numbers, but none of them are Rice.
Rice was on pace for another breakout year before the injury derailed everything. His chemistry with Patrick Mahomes had grown stronger, and his route running looked sharper than ever.
Now the Chiefs will have to wait until 2026 to see if he can recapture that early-career momentum.
Xavier Worthy is finally healthy again after missing time from a Week 1 collision with Kelce. Getting Worthy and Rice on the field together gives Mahomes options he hasn’t had all year. Fans know what’s coming when Rice suits up next week.
Rashee Rice’s Suspension Ends Just in Time for Chiefs’ Division Showdown
Rice returns after serving his six-game NFL suspension. The ban stemmed from a multicar crash in Dallas last July that injured several people.
He pleaded guilty to two third-degree felony charges. The league dropped the hammer, and Rice accepted without appeal.
The suspension kept Rice off the field during a crucial stretch. Kansas City started 2-3 without their explosive playmaker, watching their offense sputter through five weeks.
Mahomes had zero 300-yard games until Week 5. Rice’s return timing couldn’t be more critical for a team trying to find its identity.
The Chiefs face Detroit on Sunday Night Football in Week 6 without him. The Lions present a massive challenge with one of the league’s hottest offenses.
Then Rice suits up against the Raiders seven days later in a divisional matchup Kansas City needs to win.
His rookie year production made him an instant favorite in Kansas City. Seven touchdowns and nearly 1,000 yards as a second-round pick proved the Chiefs found another weapon.
His 2024 start showed he was ready to take another leap before the injury derailed everything.
Now he gets to prove the suspension and injury layoff didn’t slow him down. The “Everybody Gotta Eat” message suggests Rice is ready to feast. Chiefs fans are betting on it.
