Should I start Rashee Rice or Ronnie Rivers this week? Week 8 Half-PPR (2026)

BEFORE YOU DECIDE

Check availability before choosing

Rashee Rice: His availability is unresolved. Recheck his status before kickoff; a projection is not confirmation that he will play. FantasyPros estimates a 52% chance of playing (checked Oct 28, 2:24 AM ET). Ronnie Rivers: Confirmed unavailable; do not make a normal active-player recommendation. His projections are shown below, but this comparison needs an availability check. Check back later this week for updated projections and injury news before setting your lineup.

Rashee Rice: 2.5% matchup reduction against DEN.
Ronnie Rivers: INJURY_RESERVE.
