Xavier Worthy

Week 16vs. Houston Texans

Xavier Worthy has one of the better days of the season in Week 15 as he saw plenty of opportunities and did well with them. Worthy was targeted a season-high 11 times and also saw three rushing attempts. He finished with 76 total yards and a touchdown. The rookie has become more involved in the offense, but now we'll see how the Chiefs utilize him with the return of Hollywood Brown. The good news is Patrick Mahomes will play Saturday and the Texans are a favorable matchup for Worthy. Houston ranks 29th in fantasy against wide receivers while allowing 19 receiving touchdowns to wide receivers. Worthy is a borderline flex option as we see how the addition of Brown changes things in Kansas City.

Week 14 vs. Los Angeles Chargers

Xavier Worthy's seven targets last week were his most since Week 8, also against the Raiders (8). His targets have steadily increased since Week 9 while hovering around 60-70% snaps played. He played the same number of snaps last week as DeAndre Hopkins (42/71) and had his first game with five catches. He had three catches for a season-high 73 yards and a touchdown in Week 4 against the Chargers, and that was when he was still growing into the offense. He should be more accustomed this time around and has some flex appeal, especially if you're in a pinch with bye weeks.

Week 10 vs. Denver Broncos

It was a forgettable day from a fantasy perspective last week for Xavier Worthy. The rookie didn't catch either of his targets and lost ten yards on his two rushing attempts. He has surpassed 50 yards just once this season. He may soon be competing for targets with JuJu Smith-Schuster. The Chiefs will get Worthy involved, but for now, he's a deeper flex option against the Broncos.
