Xavier Worthy's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy caught four passes for 61 yards and a touchdown in the 21-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Worthy looked like he was in for a big game with one carry, four catches, and a touchdown early on, but he was held without another touch for the remainder of the contest. The Chiefs were handed their first loss of the season, but it was encouraging to see Worthy be an essential piece of the offense. Worthy will look to carry this momentum into next week's contest against the Carolina Panthers, who rank 14th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. Despite this strong showing, it won't be easy to trust Worthy in starting lineups until he displays some consistency from week to week.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will face the Buffalo Bills in Week 11. Worthy hauled in one catch for 11 yards in last week's contest against the Denver Broncos. Mahomes and the rookie have been unable to connect on deep balls lately, which has limited Worthy's fantasy success. The 21-year-old scored 1.1 PPR fantasy points in the last two games, totaling one catch on six targets. Worthy will now face the Buffalo Bills defense, which ranks eighth in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. Worthy is ranked WR53 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, making him nothing more than a desperation flex. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for fantasy production this week.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy had one catch for 11 yards in the 16-14 win against the Denver Broncos. Worthy finished the game with four targets but could not do much with his opportunities. The Chiefs remained undefeated by way of a last-second blocked field goal by Kansas City. Since the arrival of JuJu Smith-Schuster and DeAndre Hopkins, the rookie receiver has become a near afterthought in the Chiefs offense. The Chiefs style favors possession receivers, and Worthy has been more boom-or-bust so far. Worthy will look to be more successful in Week 11 against the Buffalo Bills, who rank sixth in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. Starting Worthy in any matchup will be difficult until he displays consistency as a pass catcher.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will face the Denver Broncos in Week 10. Worthy is coming off his worst performance of the season in Week 9 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite the favorable matchup against Tampa Bay, the rookie receiver finished the game with zero catches and negative yardage. Worthy should have scored on a deep ball in the first quarter but did not get both feet down in bounds. It was the first game of Worthy's career that he did not register a single reception. The good news is it's only up from here. The bad news is the Broncos rank ninth in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. Worthy needs to demonstrate his ability to be a reliable pass catcher to become a relevant option in the Kansas City offense, but he has not done that yet. Worthy is ranked WR40 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, placing him firmly in the flex range. Fantasy managers should view the Chiefs rookie as nothing more than a desperation flex option in this matchup.

Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy had zero catches in the 30-24 overtime win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday. Worthy also had two carries for minus-10 yards in the contest. The rookie receiver nearly had a long touchdown on the game's first drive but failed to get two feet down in bounds. After that early incompletion, Worthy only saw one more target for the rest of the game. Despite also being involved in the run game, Worthy ended the game with negative yardage. Given his inconsistencies, starting Worthy against the Denver Broncos next week will be difficult. The Broncos rank fourth in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers thanks to their stout secondary. Worthy is playing behind tight end Travis Kelce and receiver DeAndre Hopkins in the passing game, and running back Kareem Hunt is seeing upwards of 20 opportunities in the last four games. There are not a lot of opportunities to go around, and the rookie has failed to capitalize on his. It will be challenging to rank Worthy as anything but a desperation flex play moving forward.
