Selesnick also notes that Las Vegas plays zone coverage 80% of the time this year (fifth-highest rate in the NFL) and Cover 3 46% of the time (second-highest rate in the league). That bodes well for Rice who excels against both zone (28% targets per route run and 3.08 yards per route run) and Cover 3 (29% TPRR and 3.32 YPRR).

Simmons was a late scratch against the Lions in Week 6, and he did not practice all week while attending to a personal matter.
