The Kansas City Chiefs are looking to continue to build on their recent form against the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football at Arrowhead Stadium.
But to do that, the Chiefs' offense will need to be a well-oiled machine, and that means Rashee Rice gets involved. After his return last week was a superb one, as he caught seven passes for 42 yards, Rashee was back with a vengeance.
But against the Commanders, halfway through the first quarter, Rice didn't even have a target from Patrick Mahomes, which is a little odd considering how prolific the duo has been over the past couple of seasons.
If the Chiefs are to win their fifth game of the year, Rice will need to get rolling.

Chiefs beginning to look like "Chiefs"
Having won four out of their last five games, coupled with the offense finding its stride, scoring at least 28 points per game over the past month, and the defense stiffening, the Chiefs appear to be back to the dominant force they once were.
Of course, getting Xavier Worthy and Rice back has improved the efficiency of Andy Reid's unit, which makes it a little baffling that Rice hasn't been targeted early against Washington.
Still, who are we to question Reid and Mahomes, and with plenty of football still left to play, we imagine that No. 4 will get his targets, and he'll get his catches as well.
It might be just his second game back from suspension, but Rashee is finding it tough early on.
