Xavier Worthy's Struggles Continue, Fantasy Value Dwindles for Chiefs Receiver
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy struggled again in the loss to the Broncos, recording three receptions for 25 yards on five targets, being outproduced by Hollywood Brown (four catches, 40 yards). Worthy has not finished higher than PPR WR20 in any week this season and hasn't topped WR40 since teammate Rashee Rice returned from suspension, making him unstartable in fantasy. Despite playing a full complement of snaps (53, tied with Rice) and leading the WR unit with 36 routes, his lack of production, especially compared to Brown's 30 snaps, is concerning. The Chiefs' offense scored only 19 points against a stout Broncos defense, but Worthy's poor performance extends to easier matchups. He should be benched, and cutting him is advisable in shallow leagues, though deeper leagues might hold him for two upcoming positive matchups before considering a full cut.
