Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Minimal production again Sunday
Xavier Worthy brought in one of four targets for 11 yards in the Kansas City 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
Xavier 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: Scores in win over LV
Xavier 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 Kansas City Chiefs and Buccaneers on Monday Night Football in Week 9.

Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Leads team with eight targets
Xavier Worthy had three receptions (eight targets) for 19 yards and added one carry for five yards in Sunday's 28-18 win over San Francisco.Worthy continued to operate as the Kansas City Chiefs' top wideout sans Rashee Rice (knee) in Week 7, churning out a similar stat line to his previous start Week 5. The 21-year-old Worthy was unable to hit pay dirt like he did against the Saints, but he did lead Kansas City in targets (eight) on a day when the ground game led the team to victory. The speedy wideout did exit Sunday's contest briefly to be evaluated in the medical tent, but he promptly returned to action and finished the contest without issue. Worthy carries fantasy value in his elevated role, with fantasy managers hoping for a big play or two against a rebuilding Raiders squad next Sunday.

Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Rushing TD in Week 5 win
Xavier Worthy secured three of six targets for 25 yards and rushed once for a three-yard touchdown in the Kansas City 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.

Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Catches long touchdown
Xavier Worthy recorded three catches on four targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Chargers.Worthy is the last of Kansas City's projected top three wide receivers to be healthy, with both Rashee Rice (knee) and Hollywood Brown (shoulder) sidelined for the long term. Worthy likely won't take on huge target volume, but he still showed what he can do with consistent opportunity after breaking free on a go route for a 54-yard touchdown just before halftime. Worthy is likely to remain a boom-bust fantasy option moving forward, but his snap rate should increase significantly while giving his production the opportunity to follow.

Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Light output in Week 3
Xavier Worthy caught two of four targets for 17 yards during Sunday's 22-17 win against the Falcons.Worthy ran the second-most routes on the team with 31, per PFF, trailing only Rashee Rice and tight end Travis Kelce. It didn't result in significant output in this one, but Worthy should remain a part of the game plan for a Kansas City Chiefs offense that is lacking weapons beyond Rice and Kelce. Worthy seems unlikely to draw target volume consistent enough to be anything more than a touchdown-dependent fantasy contributor.

Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Held to three touches again
Xavier Worthy caught two of four targets for 17 yards and added a five-yard run in Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals.Worthy scored touchdowns on two of his three touches in his NFL debut, but the speedster didn't make as much of the same volume in his second NFL game. The rookie first-round draft pick's role could expand as the season goes on, as the Kansas City Chiefs will be without Hollywood Brown (shoulder) for the rest of the regular season, leaving Worthy as the top candidate to work as the team's No. 2 wide receiver behind Rashee Rice, who was the only player to exceed 22 receiving yards for Kansas City against the Bengals. Worthy will look to expand his usage in Week 3 against the Falcons.

Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Two-TD pro debut in win
Xavier Worthy caught two of three targets for 47 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for a 21-yard score in the Kansas City Chiefs' 27-20 win over the Ravens on Thursday night.The first-round pick wasted no time translating his stopwatch-busting speed into a game situation, scoring the Chiefs' first touchdown of the campaign on a 21-yard end around just past the midway point of the first quarter. Worthy blew past the Ravens' defense on that play and then took advantage of a miscommunication in the secondary on his 35-yard TD grab down the right sideline in the fourth quarter. He's already finding success as a big-play threat and could see more snaps/targets Week 2 against the Bengals.

Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Finds preseason end zone
Xavier Worthy caught three passes for 63 yards and one touchdown on six targets in Saturday's preseason game against Detroit. He also rushed once for 11 yards.Worthy played extensively with the first-team offense, drawing five of Patrick Mahomes' 14 passes and catching two receptions for 40 yards before catching his only Carson Wentz target for a 22-yard touchdown, a play on which he impressively got open with ease. The 21-year-old rookie still needs plenty of seasoning, and at just 5-foot-11, 165 pounds, he's also in need of further physical development. However, the Kansas City Chiefs are clearly making it a priority to get Worthy involved quickly, and that should accelerate once the regular season begins.
