The Kansas City Chiefs appear to be getting their groove back over the past couple of weeks, and now they see the return of perhaps their best offensive weapon in Rashee Rice.
Xavier Worthy, Marquise Brown, Juju Smith-Schuster, Travis Kelce, Tyquan Thornton, and Noah Gray have all played their part in the offensive turnaround that has seen the unit score at least 28 points in their last three games.
And now that Rice is back, Worthy has detailed exactly what his return will do for everyone on offense.
“It's just another threat,” Worthy said. “Everybody eats. I feel like it's just more eyes go on somebody else. I feel like everybody in this offense can make a play or go in on one-on-one. So, it's just another explosive guy on the offense.”

Rice completes Chiefs offense
One could make the case that last week was the best the Chiefs' offense has looked all season, maybe aside from the Baltimore Ravens win, and now with Rashee returning, the overwhelming thought is that Kansas City's production will skyrocket.
Let's not forget, though, Rice hasn't played in six weeks, so don't expect him to go for 150 yards and two touchdowns off the bat, as we think the Chiefs might ease him back into the swing of things, perhaps on a snap count.
Worthy has detailed what having Rice on the field will do for the offense, and while Rashee doesn't have to do anything, just the sheer fact of him being on the field will stress a defense, not to mention all of the other weapons at Mahomes' disposal.
It has been a bumpy first six weeks for the Chiefs, but now it appears the road ahead is smoothing out, and Rice will be the key figure in helping get this team to where it wants to go in 2025.
