Xavier Worthy

WR, KC

Wednesday, September 30

▼ Fantasy Focus Football: Usage and production have faded significantly since Week 1 as Rashee Rice's role has grown; hosts note he still has zero career 100-yard regular-season games. listen ↗

▶ The Audible: Role/routes are fine but average depth of target has been cut roughly in half; still a complementary piece behind Rashee Rice; hosts are unconcerned since he wasn't drafted as a top-3 fantasy piece. listen ↗

Saturday, September 26

▲ FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Debro bumps him up to WR3-4 territory, noting he's now getting more screen-pass usage than Rice. listen ↗

Friday, September 25

▲ RotoWire Fantasy Football With Theo Gremminger: Predicted to score a touchdown and break off a long play against Miami. listen ↗

Thursday, September 24

Shows split on Worthy: Late-Round loves the matchup math—12 expected PPR points, a 19% target share, and Kansas City's league-high implied total against Miami's soft pass defense—while Harmon calls him boom-or-bust and overrated compared to Rice and Kelce for touchdown equity. Treat him as a high-variance flex, not a set-it-and-forget-it start.

▲ Fantasy Life Show: Now effectively the offense's leading receiver by usage (90% route share) and set up well vs. Miami's weak pass rush/secondary; debated but leaning startable as WR3. listen ↗

▲ Rotoworld Football Show – Fantasy Football: Now the Chiefs' clear WR1 as the Rashee Rice role dies on the vine with targets shifting to Kenneth Walker; startable but not a dominant option. listen ↗

▲ The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast: Averaging 12 expected PPR points per game with a 19% target share; Kansas City's 29-point implied total (highest in the league) against a weak Miami pass defense makes him appealing. listen ↗

▼ Yahoo Fantasy Forecast with Matt Harmon: Worthy is viewed as boom-or-bust and overrated relative to Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce in a resurgent Chiefs offense; hosts would rather chase Kelce or even Tyquan Thornton for touchdown equity. listen ↗
