I'm not sure that anyone will catch Rice, but who will have the best chance to break the 20,000-yard mark? Please provide a brief explanation for your choice.

I'm not sure another player will have that kind of longevity, or service a team with one productive QB.
Reggie Wayne got off to a slow start his first two years (as most do), but now has a string of 4 seasons averaging around 1200 yards.
After 7 seasons, he'll be around 7000 yards. Still a very tough hill to climb.
Younger players like Marques Colston, Brandon Marshall or Braylon Edwards have real promise, but 20K requires an insane streak of injury-free very productive seasons, and a mythical off-season regimen.
I don't think it will happen.

Marvin Harrison is already number 4 on the all time list, and Peyton Manning ins't going to go anywhere. The closest to him is Issac Bruce, who has two more years of wear and tear on him, TO, who is the same year, but with 1,000 less yards, and Randy Moss, who entered the league two years after Harrison, but is behind around 2,000 or so yards.
So yeah, either Harrison or Moss would likely end up number 2. But nobody is touching Mr. Rice or 20,000. There's not even a 20,000 yard rusher in league history, and they get their yards in bigger chunks.

Correct no one will catch Rice in our lifetime... Unless Randy Moss and Terrel Owens and Marvin Harrison all decided to stick around for another 6-10 years... which i doubt.... But I do think Randy Moss, Terrell Owens and Marvin Harrison will all be 2-3-4 Respictively passing Tim Brown for the #2 spot...
If you stick around You might see Calvin Johnson from Detroit get over 15,000 yards in his career... other then that... I don't see anyone even getting close to that # man.

Calvin Johnson? Not if he stays in Detroit. (I'm a Lions fan and hurts me that a talented player such as CJ is wasted here in Detroit).
So far I see Randy Moss possibly breaking Rice all time receiving yards. As long as he stays in New England and Tom Brady is still his QB, then he may surpass Rice Records. The other would be T.O. or Ocho Cinco!

Randy Moss.
Now that he has Tom Brady throwing to him theres no way he cant get it.
I mean look at his stats :1264 yds, 97.2 yds/Game 19 TDs.
Thats just incredible! If he keeps this up for another 6 to 7 years there is no way he Can't break the record.

Randy Moss is at 11964 @ age 30
Terrell Owens is at 12985 @ age 34
Marvin Harrison is at 13944 @ age 35
Chad Johnson is at 8112 @ age 29
So my guess is: That Randy will be hitting that mark around age 37
