The Tacoma News Tribune considers Sidney Rice a No. 1 receiver in the NFL even though "he isn't targeted like one."
It's a reasonable assessment. Despite finally playing in all 16 games this year, Rice saw just 80 targets to rank 73rd in the league, behind the likes of Chris Givens, Ben Watson, and Nate Washington. Rice still came up with a 50/748/7 line, but the Seahawks' run-heavy scheme puts a damper on his 2013 outlook. Feb 5 - 11:26 AM

Sidney Rice - WR - Seahawks

Sidney Rice (knee) was spotted on crutches Monday.

There's no sign that Rice is dealing with a serious injury or needs surgery, but we can add it to the list of nagging issues that bothered him this season. Despite playing in all 16 games for just the second time in his six-year career and first time since 2009, he was rarely operating at 100 percent. Rice won't be 27 until September, but his accumulation of injuries and the Seahawks' run-heavy offense are concerns heading into 2013.

Sidney Rice caught four passes for 60 yards in Sunday's Divisional round loss at Atlanta.

Rice tied Zach Miller with a team-high nine targets, but had to contend with Asante Samuel's sticky coverage. Russell Wilson's nominal No. 1 receiver finished the season 29th in fantasy points, though his most impressive accomplishment was making it through 18 games while dealing with knee, foot, and concussion injuries. Rice is still only 26 years old. In order to realize his fantasy potential, he's going to need Seattle to open up its passing game in 2013.

Sidney Rice - WR - Seahawks

Sidney Rice caught just one pass for 27 yards in Sunday's Wild Card round victory over the Redskins.

The one catch was a toe-dragging sideline beauty that set up Steven Hauschka's first field goal. Rice was targeted just four times on a day when the Seahawks enjoyed a lot more success on the ground. He has another tough matchup next week against Asante Samuel and the Falcons.

Sidney Rice - WR - Seahawks

Sidney Rice was held without a catch in Seattle's Week 17 playoff tuneup win over the Rams.

Rice was targeted just one time on the day. Nursing a knee injury for the past two weeks, the receiver has been a complete non-factor as the Seahawks try to get him healed up for the start of the playoffs next week. Rice, 26, ends the regular season with 50 catches for 748 yards and seven touchdowns. The totals are all second-bests behind his 83-catch, 1,312-yard, eight-score 2009 campaign with the Vikings. Although he dealt with various nicks and dings throughout the course of the season, Rice played in every game. The Seahawks will travel to Washington or Dallas next week as the No. 5 seed in the NFC playoff picture.

Sidney Rice - WR - Seahawks

Sidney Rice (knee) practiced fully again on Friday and is listed as probable for Week 17 against the Rams.

Although Rice had endured several injury report scares this season, he's yet to miss a game all year. Rice has 50 catches for 748 yards and seven touchdowns through 15 starts. He was held to a 4-41 line by St. Louis in Week 4.

Sidney Rice - WR - Seahawks

Sidney Rice (knee) was upgraded to a "full" practice on Thursday.

Rice has been dealing with various nicks and bruises over the course of the season, but he should be fine for Sunday's game against the Rams. He'll likely be limited in the contest, though, in order to be as close to 100 percent as possible for the playoffs.

Sidney Rice - WR - Seahawks

Sidney Rice (knee) did not practice on Wednesday.

Rice should be fine for Week 17 against the Rams, but he did play a season-low 25 snaps against the 49ers last Sunday night. If Seattle grabs an early lead this week, Rice could see another low snap count in order to get closer to 100 percent for the playoffs.

Sidney Rice - WR - Seahawks

Sidney Rice (knee) caught just one pass for 14 yards in Seattle's Week 16 rout of the 49ers.

Rice slammed his knee into the turf on his lone grab, but never left the game. He also nearly tossed an interception on a trick play. Playing at less than 100 percent, Rice was targeted only twice, but provided he's avoided setbacks, he should be good to go for Week 17 after being a game-time decision this week. He'll certainly miss practice time, however.

Sidney Rice - WR - Seahawks

Sidney Rice (knee) is active for Week 16 against the 49ers.

As is CB Richard Sherman. Rice and Sherman's presence will give the Seahawks a near full house against a 49ers team that's missing all-world RE Justin Smith. According to beat writer John Boyle, Rice looked "good" running and cutting in pre-game warmups. Rotoworld's No. 40 receiver for Week 16, Rice is a high-risk, moderate-reward WR3 for the fantasy finals. Inactive for the Seahawks are CB Marcus Trufant, CB Walter Thurmond, CB DeShawn Shead, OG Rishaw Johnson, OG John Moffitt, OT Mike Person and DT Jaye Howard.

Sidney Rice - WR - Seahawks

Coach Pete Carroll told reporters after Friday's practice that Sidney Rice (knee, questionable) will be a game-time decision in Week 16 against San Francisco.

Carroll acknowledged that Rice is likely to play against the Niners, but the fact that his status won't be formally known until a pre-game workout suggests Rice isn't close to 100 percent. The 49ers' physical press coverage stifled Rice in these teams' Week 7 meeting, holding him to 32 yards on two receptions. Golden Tate didn't even record a catch. Rice is best viewed as a weak WR3 option in title week. The injury may affect his on-field impact.

Sidney Rice - WR - Seahawks

Sidney Rice (knee) missed practice again on Thursday.

Seattle beat writers seem to think it's not a major issue, but we'd like to see Rice return to at least a limited practice on Friday ahead of Sunday night's showdown with the 49ers. Rice checks in as Rotoworld's No. 40 receiver for Week 16.

Sidney Rice (knee) did not practice on Wednesday.

The knee issue is new for Rice. We knew he had been dealing with a sore foot of late, while he's also dealt with calf and head injuries this season. Rice hasn't been on the injury report with a knee ailment since Week 3. It could just be a precaution, though, and might just be a reason to get Rice some rest during the week. Check back for more information on Thursday.

Sidney Rice - WR - Seahawks

Coach Pete Carroll said Monday Sidney Rice's foot remains "sore."

Rice didn't appear limited during Sunday's blowout of the Bills, but that doesn't mean he's 100 percent. "We might have to take care of him a little during the week to get him ready for game day," Carroll said. Don't expect to see Rice at practice until Friday at the earliest as the Seahawks get set for a Sunday night showdown with the 49ers.

Sidney Rice - WR - Seahawks

Sidney Rice caught four passes for 76 yards in the Seahawks' Week 15 win over the Bills.

Rice's foot was a non-issue. He got open at will and actually had a touchdown reversed in the second half when replays showed his second foot came down well out of bounds. However, owners should be looking for higher upside WR3 options in Week 16. The last time Rice faced the Niners, he managed just two catches for 32 yards.
