The best receiver on the Kansas City Chiefs might be Rashee Rice instead of Travis Kelce.
The best receiver on the Kansas City Chiefs might be Rashee Rice instead of Travis Kelce. originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kansas City Chiefs superstar tight end Travis Kelce had one of the slowest seasons of his career this past season, as his age is definitely beginning to show. Advertisement As a result, someone is bound to step up and be the go-to weapon for Patrick Mahomes on the team's offense. In a recent article by PFF's Trevor Sikkema, he ranks who he believes is every NFL team's best quarterback-pass catcher duo. For the reigning AFC champions, he thinks that is no longer Mahomes and Kelce, but Mahomes and young wide receiver Rashee Rice. "One might be surprised that it's not Kelce who is tied to Mahomes," Sikkema wrote. "Mahomes owns an elite 90.0 PFF passing grade when targeting Rice over the past two seasons, but he does have four turnover-worthy plays to match four big-time throws and a low average depth of target of just 5.1 yards." Rice and Mahomes were ranked at No. 13 at Sikkema's list, so they will have a bit of proving together once the start of the 2025 season rolls around. Advertisement The 25-year-old played just three full games this past season, as a brutal knee injury in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers sidelined him the rest of the season. But in those three games, Rice was first in the league in receptions, and second in yards. Kansas City is coming off of a loss in the Super Bowl this past season to the Philadelphia Eagles, so Rice, Mahomes, and the rest of the team's offense will be looking to lead the team back to the playoffs to redeem themselves.

Chiefs Offense Tipped To Be Top-10 Unit In 2025
Chiefs Offense Tipped To Be Top-10 Unit In 2025 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Kansas City Chiefs have undergone a transformation of sorts over the past two seasons. No longer are they the swashbuckling offense under Patrick Mahomes, which drives the franchise forward. Advertisement It has been Steve Spagnuolo's defense that has been the driving force, leaving some to think if the Mahomes magic is starting to wear off. But as we have detailed this offseason, there were multiple reasons for that. Injured weapons and a poor offensive line are the main reasons for the drop in production, but the good news is that both are expected to be fixed heading into 2025. For Gennaro Filice, when ranking the top 10 offenses in football heading into the new year, he has Kansas City at No. 10. "Despite making the Super Bowl in each of the past two seasons, the Chiefs ranked 12th in offensive points per game in 2024 and 14th in 2023," Filice writes. "Everyone knows the main culprit for this downswing: an offensive line that sprung holes, especially on the edge. Consequently, Brett Veach aggressively targeted tackles in free agency (giving Trent Williams understudy Jaylon Moore a two-year, $30 million deal) and the 2025 NFL Draft (spending the first-round pick on Josh Simmons). Advertisement "Is that enough to fully patch up the problem areas? Maybe yes, maybe no -- but I trust Reid and Mahomes to put more points on the board this fall, one way or another, especially given cleaner bills of health from running back Isiah Pacheco and wide receivers Rashee Rice and Hollywood Brown." Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy (right) and head coach Andy J. Rebilas-Imagn Images There is reason to be optimistic about the Chiefs in 2025, and if the injury bug can be avoided, then this unit should see an uptick in performance. Now, injuries are a part of football, but the Chiefs had them at a key position last season, so with Rice and Brown returning, coupled with an offensive line that should be better at protecting Patrick Mahomes (career-high 47 sacks last year), Kansas City might be more efficient going forward. Advertisement They might have lost a little of their aura after the Super Bowl loss, but if they can avoid the number of injuries suffered last year and get improved play across the board, then the Chiefs can easily have a top-10 offense in football.

Victor Cruz delivers bold prediction for Giants in 2025: ‘We have a good team'
Victor Cruz stood in the middle of Liberty State Park in Jersey City, N.J., on Wednesday with the Manhattan skyline in the background. On the 84-degree day, the former Giants wide receiver and Super Bowl winner was hard pressed to miss throwing on the pads and helmet for mini camp. 'I'm out here in this heat in the suit, and I don't miss it. Let alone being out there with half pads and shorts,' Cruz said. The Super Bowl champion was on hand for an event celebrating the lead-up to the 2026 World Cup, but naturally, the conversation eventually turned to the Giants with minicamp starting next week. Though Cruz doesn't miss having to sweat in the burning New Jersey sun, he did get a sense of nostalgia after a recent visit to the Giants' facility in East Rutherford. 'I started to get the bug back. I started stretching. I was like, hold on, Vic, what are you doing?' Cruz said. 'But being back there and missing the guys and being in the locker room and just having that energy back a little bit. It's a little nostalgic for me.' Cruz won't be suiting up anytime soon, but the former star wide receiver was somewhat optimistic about the Giants' fortunes going into 2025, predicting that Big Blue would be above .500 this upcoming season. 3 Victor Cruz discussed the Giants on Wednesday. NYPostSports/Instagram 'I think we have a good team. I think for the first time, [head coach Brian Daboll] has a team in a draft that you could feel he wrapped his arms around. These are his guys and we'll see how he develops them and, and get them ready to play.' The Giants took edge rusher Abdul Carter with the No. 3 overall pick and traded back into the first round to select quarterback Jaxson Dart at No. 25. Cruz liked the idea of Dart being able to learn from both veteran quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, describing the former as the 'ultimate pro's pro' and the latter as having a 'gunslinger sort of mentality.' 3 Victor Cruz makes a catch for the Giants in 2011. Paul J. Bereswill for The New Yo 'I think Jaxson could learn some things for both of those things,' Cruz said. Cruz emceed the 2026 World Cup event, with a number of local sports stars and politicians on hand, to mark the impending global soccer tournament, which will feature eight World Cup matches at MetLife Stadium, including the final. 3 Jaxson Dart throws a pass during the Giants' rookie mincamp on May 10, 2025. Robert Sabo for NY Post Liberty State Park will also serve as the official site of the FIFA Fan Festival New York New Jersey. And Cruz expected the festivities to be 'iconic. 'I've obviously played in some big games, some big moments. But this is another level. We're talking about the biggest sporting event in the world coming to the New York-New Jersey region,' he said. 'And this very park will be the place in the country where fans can catch every single one of the 104 matches – right here on these grounds, with views of the Statue of Liberty, and all the vibes that are happening. It's going to be incredible. It's going to be iconic.'
