Xavier Worthy

21-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
Kansas City Chiefs
2024 Fantasy Outlook
At 5-11, 165 pounds, Worthy becomes one of the thinnest wide receivers in the NFL, with a lower BMI than even DeVonta Smith or new teammate Marquise Brown. Everything else screams upside, including Worthy's prolific college career, combine-record 40 time (4.21) and first-rate team context as part of the Reid/Mahomes show. The speed demon put up 68-981-12 as an 18-year-old true freshman at Texas, and while he had a modest sophomore slump (60-760-9), he bounced back with 75-1,015-5 last season as the target leader for a team that just had three other pass catchers taken in the 2024 NFL Draft. Those target numbers were perhaps inflated by a large number of designed touches on screen passes, but Worthy's comfort level there could end up being a good thing under a screen-happy coordinator like Reid. 2023 second-round pick Rashee Rice nearly broke 1,000 yards last year with a screen-heavy diet and 4.7 aDOT, and it now appears he could miss a portion of 2024 due to legal troubles. If not, the target competition in Kansas City admittedly looks stellar, featuring Rice, Worthy and Brown at wide receiver and Travis Kelce at tight end. Worthy's college production hints at a quick learning curve, whereas his size and age (he turned 21 in April) suggest that might not be the case. Read Past Outlooks

Ends cold spell with TD
WRKansas City Chiefs
November 17, 2024
Worthy had four receptions (on five targets) for 61 yards and a touchdown while rushing once for seven yards in Sunday's 30-21 loss to Buffalo.
ANALYSIS
Worthy snapped out of his recent funk to lead the Chiefs in receiving yardage while scoring for the sixth time this season. The versatile speedster had netted just one yard over his last two starts, but Sunday's strong output should restore some faith in fantasy managers. The Chiefs will attempt to bounce back next Sunday, in the same fashion Worthy did this Sunday, against the Panthers in Week 12.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
In line for second-half breakout?
WRKansas City Chiefs
November 9, 2024
Adam Teicher of ESPN.com believes Worthy could see an uptick in production in the second half of the regular season.
ANALYSIS
Worthy, the Chiefs' first-round selection of the 2024 NFL Draft, has taken on a larger role in the offense following injuries to Hollywood Brown and Rashee Rice. Worthy registered two touchdowns and 68 total yards in Week 1 against the Ravens, but he hasn't seen that kind of impact over the following seven games. Although he is coming off a zero-catch performance against the Buccaneers on Monday, Teicher believes that DeAndre Hopkins' addition to the offense should open the field up for Worthy to make explosive plays.
