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 caught just one pass for 14 yards in Seattle's Week 16 rout of the 49ers. Rice also slammed his knee to 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 (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.

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 (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.

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 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.

Sidney Rice (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills, as expected. Rice got a full practice in on Friday and appears reasonably close to 100 percent. However, we're expecting a run-heavy approach out of the Seahawks, leaving Rice as a shaky WR3. He hasn't gone over 100 yards all season.

Sidney Rice (probable, foot) is expected to play in Week 15 after returning to Friday's practice. Rice shed his walking boot on Thursday and will be starting against the Bills in Toronto, coach Pete Carroll promises. Both Rice and Golden Tate are dicey Week 15 fantasy options in Seattle's decidedly run-heavy offense.
