• Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Just two catches Sunday

  9H ago • By RotoWire

  Worthy caught two of three targets for 41 yards and gained zero yards on his only carry in Sunday's 26-9 loss to the Titans. Even with Rashee Rice (concussion) unavailable, Worthy didn't see an increase in his target volume, although it's easy to see why -- third-string QB Chris Oladokun wound up under center for most of the game after Gardner Minshew (knee) joined Patrick Mahomes (knee) on the sidelines. Worthy has gone seven straight games without catching more than four passes and nine straight without getting into the end zone, managing just a 29-387-0 line on 48 targets over that latter stretch. With Minshew also feared to have suffered a season-ending ACL tear, the entire Kansas City passing attack will have a significantly lowered floor and ceiling heading into a Week 17 meeting with the Broncos.

• Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Sleeper WRs

  2D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Rashee Rice (concussion) is out in Week 16, and Worthy is worth starting in three-receiver leagues, even with Gardner Minshew starting in place of Patrick Mahomes (knee). Worthy averaged 12.9 PPR points in the three games before Rice was activated this season, with 21 targets over that span, and this is a great matchup against the Titans. Tennessee is No. 5 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and six receivers have scored at least 15.6 PPR points against the Titans in their past five games. Marquise Brown is also worth using as a sleeper since he scored at least 12.8 PPR points in three of his first six games before Rice was active.

• Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Two catches in Week 15 loss

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Worthy caught two passes on four targets for 35 yards during the Chiefs' 16-13 loss to the Chargers on Sunday. Worthy briefly left Sunday's game to be evaluated for a possible concussion, but the second-year wideout was cleared to return after being checked on by medical staff. One of his catches went for 26 yards late in the second quarter, which eventually led to Harrison Butker 47-yard field goal. Of concern for Worthy and the Chiefs' offense is that Patrick Mahomes tore his ACL late in the fourth quarter, which means Gardner Minshew is slated to start in the final three games of the regular season, beginning with Week 16 against the Titans on Sunday, Dec. 21. The fantasy floors of Worthy and the rest of Kansas City's pass catchers are all considerably lower with Mahomes out for the year.
