Rice now has catcher eligibility in some more leagues, which gives his value a boost in AL-only leagues or mixed leagues that play two catchers. Because his role has been reduced with Giancarlo Stanton back, he probably doesn’t rate as a top-10 catcher for those in one-catcher mixed leagues, but he’s still close and he might be a top-five option if playing time opens back up.
