Description: Seattle wideout Sidney Rice was a full participant in Friday's practice and has been upgraded to probable for Sunday against St. Louis. | Insight: Rice has been a bit beaten up over the second half of the season, but has played in all 15 games and put up 50 receptions for 748 yards and seven touchdowns. | | |

Description: Seattle wideout Sidney Rice looks like he'll be able to play Sunday but the team will have him test his knee out before the game. SOURCE: John Boyle, Everett Herald | Insight: With Seattle hosting San Francisco on Sunday night, it's going to be too risky to rely on Rice in Week 16. Fantasy owners could maybe justify waiting for Rice if he was playing a lesser defense but the 49ers are quite formidable. | | |

Description: Seattle wideout Sidney Rice is questionable for Sunday night's game against San Francisco. | Insight: Rice didn't practice this week because of a knee injury and it's looking like he'll be a true game-time call Sunday against the Niners. The 8:20 start time worries us, especially with no Monday night game this week to fall back on. With many fantasy championships hanging in the balance this week, there's just too much risk here. Even if he plays, there's no guarantee Rice would have a good game against San Francisco's fifth-ranked passing defense. | | |

Description: Seahawks receiver Sidney Rice (bruised foot) didn't practice Thursday but coach Pete Carroll said he expects the receiver to play Sunday versus Buffalo. SOURCE: Dave Mahler, KJR | Insight: Rice (658 yds, 7 TDs) shed his walking boot Thursday. While a matchup against the Bills sounds enticing, Buffalo has actually been much improved against the pass in the second half of the season, so a hobbled Rice does not make for a strong play Sunday. | | |

Description: Seahawks receiver Sidney Rice returned to the practice field on Wednesday, indicating that he has been cleared to play in Week 14. | Insight: Sunday's game will be against Arizona which means he'll face talented CB Patrick Peterson, so he may not be a great fantasy option. | | |
| 12/4/2012 3:00:00 PM |
Description: Seahawks receiver Sidney Rice is questionable for Sunday's game against Arizona and will have to pass the concussion protocol before being allowed to play. | Insight: Rice tweeted afterward that he passed all the concussion tests, but apparently that was a little premature. If he gets back on the field for Sunday's game with Arizona, he'll be severely tested by talented CB Patrick Peterson, so he may not be a great fantasy option. | | |

Description: Seahawks receiver Sidney Rice is questionable for Sunday's game against Arizona after taking a blow to the head on the game-winning touchdown. | Insight: Rice tweeted afterward that he passed all the concussion tests. He'll be tested by talented CB Patrick Peterson next week, so he may not be a great fantasy option. | | |
| 12/2/2012 12:04:00 PM |
Description: As expected, Seahawks receiver Sidney Rice is active for Sunday's game against Chicago. | Insight: Rice had been listed as questionable because of a calf injury. The Bears are sixth in the NFL in passing defense and Rice has recorded just five catches in his last two games. We're not expecting this to be one of Rice's better fantasy weeks. | | |
| 12/2/2012 11:06:00 AM |
Description: Seattle wideout Sidney Rice, who was held out at the end of practice Friday due to tightness in his calf, is expected to play, according to an NFL Network report. | Insight: Rice should be able to play Sunday against the Bears. His value is almost entirely dependent on whether he finds the end zone, which limits him to WR3 status, and it might be asking a lot of him to score at Chicago this week. | | |

Description: Seattle wideout Sidney Rice was held out of the end practice Friday due to tightness in his calf but Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said, "We think he's OK." SOURCE: John Boyle, Everett Herald | Insight: Rice should be able to play Sunday against the Bears. His value is almost entirely dependent on whether he finds the end zone, which limits him to WR3 status, and it might be asking a lot of him to score at Chicago this week. | | |

Description: Seattle wideout Sidney Rice caught two touchdowns in Sunday's game against the Jets, his third straight game with at least one score. | Insight: Rice is averaging 68.6 yards per game over the last five games and he's caught five TD passes in that span. He's a viable WR3 in fantasy leagues. | | |
| 10/15/2012 10:47:00 AM |
Description: Seattle wideout Sidney Rice blew up for a season-high 81 yards Sunday in a come from behind win over New England. | Insight: Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Forty-six of those yards came on a desperation heave from Russell Wilson in the fourth quarter and he only had three catches on the afternoon. Look for Rice to fade back into fantasy irrelevance Week 7 against San Francisco's stingy secondary. | | |

Description: Seahawks receiver Sidney Rice (knee) is listed as probable on the Week 3 injury report, though he didn't practice Saturday as a precaution. | Insight: Seattle is treading carefully with the oft-injured Rice. Fantasy owners should look for other options for Week 3 since the Seahawks oppose Green Bay on Monday night. | | |
| 9/13/2012 10:16:00 PM |
Description: Seahawks receiver Sidney Rice (knee) did not practice Thursday, according to Eric Williams of the Tacoma News Tribune. | Insight: Rice also missed Wednesday's practice. There's no word on his availability for Sunday's game against Dallas but you might want to consider another option anyway since Dallas upgraded it's cornerback position with Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne. Rice caught four passes for 36 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. | | |

Description: According to Liz Mathews of 710 ESPN Seattle, Seahawks receiver Sidney Rice (shoulder) will make his preseason debut Friday. | Insight: Rice practiced without limitations Tuesday for the first time this preseason. If he comes away from Friday's game with no issues he'll likely be probable for Week 1. | | |
| 8/21/2012 9:06:00 PM |
Description: According to the Seattle Times, Sidney Rice (shoulder) practiced without any limitations for the first time this preseason. | Insight: Rice took a hit from safety Earl Thomas that knocked him off his feet. The Seahawks wide receiver "looked very fast out there," coach Pete Carroll said. Rice will have to compete with a suddenly crowded Seattle receiving corps that now includes Terrell Owens and Braylon Edwards, but he'll have a better QB throwing him the ball than last season regardless of who wins the QB battle between Matt Flynn and Russell Wilson. | | |
| 8/14/2012 7:03:00 PM |
Description: According to the Seattle Times, Sidney Rice (shoulder) was without a red (no-contact) jersey Tuesday for the first time since training camp began. | Insight: Rice suited up in a regular white jersey and participated in team drills Tuesday. He was even able to dive for some balls. Rice won't play Saturday, but he's on track to be ready for the start of the regular season. What type of role he'll have with Braylon Edwards and Terrell Owens in town remains to be seen, however. | | |

Description: According to Eric Williams of the Tacoma News Tribune, Seahawks wide receiver Terrell Owens played as the second-team flanker in his first practice with the team. That's Sidney Rice's position. | Insight: T.O. has played split end in his career, so we assumed split end Golden Tate would be on thin ice with the team after the acquisition of the future Hall of Famer Owens and former Pro Bowler Braylon Edwards. And while we expected Owens to cut into Rice's targets, we didn't expect him to flat out take his spot on the team, but that may be the case here. Rice is questionable for the start of the regular season after having two shoulder surgeries, though he vowed Wednesday he would be ready for Week 1. | | |
| 8/7/2012 5:55:00 PM |
Description: Seahawks receiver Sidney Rice "might not be ready to start the season," according to SI.com's Peter King. Rice had multiple shoulder surgeries this offseason. | Insight: Seattle has brought in Braylon Edwards and Terrell Owens to add depth to its receiving corps. That alone diminishes Rice's fantasy value. If the incumbent isn't ready by Week 1 he may cede the No. 1 spot to T.O. and never get it back. | | |
| 6/13/2012 1:50:00 PM |
Description: Seahawks No. 1 wideout Sidney Rice had both shoulders operated on in the offseason, but plans on being ready for the opening week. | Insight: Rice could be the ultimate high-risk, high-reward receiver. He's missed 17 games over the past two seasons, but in his last full year of work (2009) caught 83 balls for 1,312 yards and eight touchdowns. If you select him, you better have a backup plan in place for when he is out of the lineup. | | |
