The Kansas City Chiefs are set to welcome back receiver Rashee Rice against the Las Vegas Raiders, as Patrick Mahomes' offense will finally have all of its weapons available.
The scary thing is that last week, against the Detroit Lions, the Chiefs' offense looked like the old "Chiefs offense," and now we're adding Rice to the dangerous mix of weapons at Mahomes' disposal.
With a good mixture of speed burners in Xavier Worthy, Marquise Brown, and Tyquan Thornton to complement Travis Kelce, Noah Gray, and now Rice, as Mahomes states, it is going to make defenses have to pick their poison when it comes to trying to halt this Kansas City offense.
“You saw even this last week against the Lions with the speed that we had with Tyquan, Xavier, and Hollywood, sometimes those guys underneath are getting open a lot more,” Mahomes said. “Adding Rashee there and him catching those balls underneath, then him with his YAC and able to make stuff happen. It's going to force defense to choose.
"You going to sit back and let us throw stuff underneath, or are you going to come up and have to deal with all that speed running down the field? That's a good problem to showcase towards defenses.”

Chiefs finally healthy with Rice return
With Rashee finally back, it is going to be the first time that Mahomes will have his "big 3" available at the same time with Rice, Brown, and Worthy all expected to be on the field together against Las Vegas.
That is a tantalizing prospect.
Starting the season at 0-2, Kansas City, over the next three weeks, can really set itself up for another tilt at the Super Bowl, which, weeks ago, didn't seem feasible.
But now with the Lions win, coupled with Worthy and Kelce getting back into their groove, and Rice's return, everything is coming up Chiefs as we look ahead to week 7.
The Chiefs ' offense is finally healthy -- good luck stopping them.
