2025 Fantasy Outlook
There was no outlook written for Brenden Rice in 2025. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.
Waived by the Chargers in August of 2025.
Set to be dropped
WRLos Angeles Chargers
August 25, 2025
Rice is slated to be waived by the Chargers, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Rice appeared in three of the team's preseason contests, reeling in three catches for 32 yards. The wide receiver appeared in three regular-season contests with Los Angeles in 2024, failing to record any stats while playing three offensive snaps and 10 snaps on special teams. Rice will now be placed on waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, there's a solid chance he sticks around as a member of the Chargers' practice squad.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
The son of Jerry Rice, Brenden Rice never really broke out in any of his four collegiate seasons, but in his final two years with Lincoln Riley at USC the pass catcher at least cobbled together 1,402 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns, 12 of which came in his senior campaign. Rice is a crisp route runner much like his father, but Brenden plays a more physical game and proved to be a solid pass catcher especially in jump-ball situations. Given the Chargers' inexperienced receiver depth chart, it'll be a bit surprising if Rice doesn't make the final roster, but he'll have to show out during training camp to guarantee playing time at the onset of his rookie campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Gets look from New Orleans
WRFree Agent
September 1, 2025
Rice worked out with the Saints on Monday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.
ANALYSIS
A 2024 seventh-round pick of the Chargers and the son of Hall of Famer Jerry Rice, Brendan saw action in only three games last season and didn't get a target. Rice will likely have to settle for a practice-squad berth if he does get another offer from an NFL club.
