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
RANKS
Struggles mightily Monday
Worthy failed to bring in either of his targets Monday, losing 10 yards on two rushing attempts in an overtime win over the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
May get new positional mentor
Worthy appears set to gain veteran receiver DeAndre Hopkins as a new teammate, with the Chiefs and Titans expected to finalize a trade by Wednesday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
ANALYSIS
Worthy is one of the last men standing on a Chiefs receiver corps that's suffered an unusual amount of attrition beginning with Marquise Brown's season-ending shoulder injury that occurred on the first play of preseason. With Rashee Rice also recently going down for the season with a knee injury and with JuJu Smith-Schuster suffering a hamstring injury Week 7, Worthy has been thrust into an expanded role but will undoubtedly benefit in both the short and long term from having an accomplished veteran like Hopkins alongside him.
