Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Sidney Rice (foot) was out of his walking boot on Thursday, but remained out of practice as the team prepares for their Week 15 matchup against the Buffalo Bills in Toronto. Rice was feared to potentially have a concussion after a brutal hit on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals but it seems as though his foot is the real culprit.
Sidney Rice injury: No practice but out of boot, fantasy owners must watch and wait
Rice wound up in a boot on Wednesday but was out of it by Thursday. We break down the fantasy implications.

In the midst of the second-healthiest season of his career, Rice has not yet missed a game this season. He appears headed to a game-time decision on Sunday.
Fantasy Take: You can’t be too careful with Rice this week especially with an afternoon game. Though he is having a good season and is facing off against the Bills, a road game and a walking boot with missed practice could signal that Rice would rate as a WR3 if he is active. If there is doubt about his availability, might be best to just go with another WR3 this week.
