Xavier Worthy

KC Wide Receiver #1

Xavier Worthy caught 3-of-6 targets for 25 yards in the Chiefs’ Week 5 win over the Saints, adding three yards and a touchdown on his lone carry.

The Chiefs continue to look for ways to get their speedy youngster involved on offense and it is clear they are starting to open up the playbook for him. Mahomes attempted three deep passes to Worthy, two falling incomplete and one drawing a defensive pass interference penalty in the second half. Worthy scored from three yards out on a direct snap to tight end Travis Kelce, who operated a read option and handed the ball off to the rookie for the touchdown. Worthy could further expand his involvement after the Chiefs come out of their Week 6 bye.
Travis Kelce

KC Tight End #87

Travis Kelce caught 9-of-10 targets for 70 yards in the Chiefs’ Week 5 win over the Saints.

Kelce led the team in targets and narrowly scored a touchdown on an inside shuttle pass from four yards out in the third quarter. He was tackled at the one and Patrick Mahomes was picked off on the following play. Only Kelce and JuJu Smith-Schuster saw more than six targets, making it likely this offense continues to operate over the short-to-intermediate areas of the field in the absence of Isiah Pacheco and Rashee Rice. Kelce and the Chiefs get a breather in Week 6 before traveling to San Francisco to face the 49ers in Week 7.
JuJu Smith-Schuster

KC Wide Receiver #9

JuJu Smith-Schuster caught 7-of-8 targets for 130 yards in the Chiefs’ Week 5 win over the Saints.

Smith-Schuster appeared to soak up most of the routes previously run by alpha wide receiver Rashee Rice, paving the way for a potential waiver wire darling as the Chiefs head to their bye week. His eight targets trailed only tight end Travis Kelce’s 10, with only Xavier Worthy’s six looks anywhere near the duo up top. There definitely could be something here considering the state of the Kansas City roster and their recent propensity to work the short areas of the field.
Kareem Hunt

KC Running Back #29

Kareem Hunt rushed 27 times for 102 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs’ Week 5 win over the Saints, adding 15 yards on his lone reception.

Hunt rejoined the Chiefs after Isiah Pacheco’s injury, getting his first start against the Saints after playing most of the final three quarters in Week 4 following a Carson Steele fumble. He turned back the clock in this one, going for 117 combined yards and scoring in the first quarter. Hunt has now tallied 41 carries the last two weeks and appears to be primed for a sizable workload for as long as Pacheco remains out. The Chiefs head to their bye week in Week 6 before traveling to San Francisco to face the 49ers in Week 7.
Patrick Mahomes

KC Quarterback #15

Patrick Mahomes completed 28-of-39 passes for 331 yards and an interception in the Chiefs’ 26-13, Week 5 win over the Saints, adding 22 yards on six carries.

Mahomes failed to throw a touchdown for the first time this season as both scores by the Chiefs came on the ground, one from fill-in running back Kareem Hunt and one on a handoff to Xavier Worthy from tight end Travis Kelce on an option play from four yards out. Even so, the 331 yards through the air marked a season-high, buoyed by a breakout performance from JuJu Smith-Schuster and his 130 yards through the air. The Chiefs limp into their bye week a perfect 5-0 but without starting running back Isiah Pacheco and alpha wide receiver Rashee Rice.
Chris Olave

NO Wide Receiver #12

Chris Olave caught 2-of-4 targets for 10 yards in the Saints’ Week 5 loss to the Chiefs.

Olave was victimized by the highest press coverage rate in the league in this one, struggling to get off the line throughout the evening. Teammate Rashid Shaheed out-targeted the veteran alpha nine to four, with another eight targets finding their way to running back Alvin Kamara. Furthering the fantasy woes was the departure of Derek Carr in the fourth quarter with an oblique injury, which could affect his ability to suit up against the Buccaneers on a short week.
Rashid Shaheed

NO Wide Receiver #22

Rashid Shaheed caught 4-of-9 targets for 86 yards and one touchdown in the Saints’ Week 5 loss to the Chiefs.

Derek Carr failed to connect with Shaheed on multiple downfield passes in the first quarter before 43-yard hookup for a score in the second quarter. Carr appeared to mouth “I told you” to the sidelines, indicating he potentially lobbied to keep the foot on the gas with Shaheed and the deep ball, evidently seeing something on the field worth exploiting. Shaheed’s fantasy managers will want to keep tabs on the status of Carr ahead of the team’s Week 6 meeting with the Buccaneers after the veteran quarterback departed in the fourth quarter with an oblique injury.
Alvin Kamara

NO Running Back #41

Alvin Kamara rushed 11 times for 26 yards in the Saints’ Week 5 loss to the Chiefs, adding 40 yards on six receptions.

Kamara’s worst statistical performance of the year came on a night the Saints held the football for just over 20 minutes as the Chiefs dominated all aspects of the game plan. Even so, six receptions on eight targets kept Kamara’s fantasy value alive in the lopsided defeat. Of note in this one, starting quarterback Derek Carr departed in the fourth quarter with an oblique injury, leaving Jake Haener to finish out the game. The Saints host the Buccaneers in Week 6, making Carr’s health something Kamara managers will want to keep tabs on in the short week.
Derek Carr

NO Quarterback #4

Saints QB Derek Carr (unknown) walked with trainers to the locker room in the fourth quarter of the team’s Week 5 game against the Chiefs.

Carr took a hard hit on fourth down on an all-out blitz from the Chiefs in the fourth quarter. He spent a few minutes in the medical tent before walking with trainers to the locker room with the Saints down by 10 points and seven minutes left to play. Carr completed 18-of-28 passes for 165 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception prior to departing. The Saints are on a short week after playing on Monday night before hosting the Buccaneers in a divisional matchup in Week 6. Keep an eye on Carr’s status Tuesday.
Deshaun Watson

CLE Quarterback #4

The most recent civil lawsuit filed against Browns QB Deshaun Watson has been resolved.

Watson’s attorney, Tony Buzbee, told ESPN Monday that the most recent civil lawsuit alleging sexual misconduct has been resolved. There were no amplifying remarks given after Buzbee said the settlement was confidential.
