Sidney Rice has 16 receptions for 312 yards over the last 2 games, he has 33 receptions for 545 yards and 2 TD's on the season. If he continues to play at that level he could be on his way to a pro-bowl season, although even if he puts up pro-bowl numbers he probably won't get there because he isn't a well known player.
