• Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Minimal production again Sunday

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Worthy brought in one of four targets for 11 yards in the Chiefs' 16-14 win over the Broncos on Sunday. The speedy rookie once again struggled to get on the same page with Patrick Mahomes, leading to Worthy's second-lowest reception and receiving yardage totals yet. Worthy also briefly appeared to be dealing with an arm injury in the second half but remained in the game, and he could continue struggling to make an impact against a talented Bills defense in a Week 11 road battle.

• Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Struggles mightily Monday

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Worthy failed to bring in either of his targets Monday, losing 10 yards on two rushing attempts in an overtime win over the Buccaneers. Worthy turned in a true negative fantasy performance after losing 10 yards on his only two touches Monday. The speedy rookie took a backseat to veteran DeAndre Hopkins (8-86-2 receiving line), and that may be a trend that continues in the second half of the season following Kansas City's big trade in Week 8. Worthy is still a key part of the offense, as evidenced by his four attempted plays Monday, and still should be considered a flex option ahead of Sunday's tilt against Denver.

• Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Sleeper WRs

  9D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  DeAndre Hopkins is likely still trying to adjust to life with the Chiefs, while hopefully Worthy is starting to understand his role in Kansas City for Patrick Mahomes. Worthy has eight targets in each of his past two games against the 49ers and Raiders, and he had four catches for 37 yards and a touchdown at Las Vegas. Hopefully he'll produce at a higher level moving forward, and he has a great matchup in Week 9 against Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers are No. 5 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and I would use Worthy as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues in Week 9 given the matchup.

• Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Scores in win over LV

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Worthy finished with four receptions (on eight targets) for 37 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Raiders. Worthy did not record a rushing attempt for just the second time in eight games, but he did nab his third receiving touchdown of the season. The versatile rookie continues to be a fantasy asset with five combined scores halfway through the schedule. Worthy should be busy again in a potential high-scoring affair between the Chiefs and Buccaneers on Monday Night Football in Week 9.

• Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Rushing TD in Week 5 win

  10/08/2024 • By RotoWire

  Worthy secured three of six targets for 25 yards and rushed once for a three-yard touchdown in the Chiefs' 26-13 win over the Saints on Monday night. He also recovered a Carson Steele fumble. Worthy entered the night as the Chiefs' de facto No. 1 receiver due to Rashee Rice's (IR, knee) absence, but he watched Travis Kelce and JuJu Smith-Schuster command the bulk of Patrick Mahomes' attention. Worthy finished third in targets behind his two teammates, and he would have had a relatively uneventful night had it not been for his early fourth-quarter touchdown rush, his second score on the ground and fourth trip to the end zone overall. Worthy should work into a progressively larger role in coming games, and he'll next take aim at the talented but inconsistent 49ers defense in a Week 7 road Super Bowl rematch following a Week 6 bye.
