Worthy goes for 70 yards in win over Raiders

Xavier Worthy

KC Wide Receiver #1

Player Stats

Xavier Worthy caught 4-of-7 targets for 70 yards in the Chiefs’ Week 4 win over the Raiders.

Worthy saw a season-high seven targets in this one after Rashee Rice (hamstring) exited just a few plays into the game. Worthy came up with a handful of key plays for the Chiefs, with his biggest coming on a 41-yard reception that put the Chiefs in position for a short touchdown pass to Tyquan Thornton a few plays later. The Chiefs now head into their Week 5 bye, but they could be down multiple receivers, with Rice and Thornton (ankle) both suffering injuries in this one. While we don’t yet know the extent of Rice’s injury, Thornton’s ankle injury looked like a potential season-ender. Worthy could well be worth a stash in leagues where he is still available, as he could soon be the top receiver for the Chiefs when they return in Week 6 to face the Chargers. Second-year receiver Jalen Royals, who ran 21 routes in this game, could also see an expanded role in the coming weeks.

Xavier Worthy caught 3-of-6 targets for 11 yards in the Chiefs’ Week 7 loss to the Seahawks.

Worthy struggled to separate from primary coverage of the Seahawks throughout, also committing a drop in a crucial situation in the second half. The Chiefs continue to show hesitancy in utilizing Worthy in a downfield role, which is of particular concern for his fantasy managers considering the absence of Tyquan Thornton. Worthy is better left on fantasy benches ahead of a Week 8 meeting with the stingy Broncos, particularly if Rashee Rice returns from injury.
Xavier Worthy

KC Wide Receiver #1

Xavier Worthy caught all seven of his targets for 73 yards in the Chiefs’ Week 6 win against the Chargers.

The Chiefs, with Rashee Rice (hamstring) sidelined, made every effort to force feed Worthy near the line of scrimmage in this one. That resulted in Worthy leading the KC offense in both targets and receiving yards, with a long reception of 19 yards. Most of his Week 6 touches were of the gadget variety. Increased usage should give Worthy a sturdy PPR floor for now. He should be considered a flex play next week against the tough Seattle secondary.
Rashee Rice

KC Wide Receiver #4

Rashee Rice (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.

Rice appeared to have a good chance at suiting up for Week 6 when Andy Reid spoke about it after Week 4’s win over the Raiders. Reid only said he “tweaked” his hammy. Even with a bye week to rest, it looks like Rice is now on the wrong side of questionable for Week 6. With Tyquan Thornton on IR, Xavier Worthy may be tasked with WR1 duties this week. He totaled four catches for 70 yards in his last outing and would be a solid FLEX play versus the Chargers if Rice can’t go.
Xavier Worthy

KC Wide Receiver #1

Xavier Worthy caught 2-of-2 targets for 20 yards in the Chiefs’ Week 3 win over the Dolphins.

Worthy was also shaken up by a big hit but was never announced with an injury. Patrick Mahomes attempted only 24 passes this afternoon, but that’s still a disappointing target total for the third-year pro. 23-year-old Worthy is now sitting on just 10 catches for 63 yards through the Chiefs’ first three games. Even with this offense showing major year-over-year improvement, it’s getting harder to keep the WR4 faith with Worthy. The Raiders are a plus Week 4 matchup in Vegas.

KC Wide Receiver #1

Xavier Worthy caught 5-of-7 targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs’ Week 2 win over the Colts.

Worthy’s score came from one yard out on a fourth-down play at the end of the second quarter. The play followed three consecutive failed rush attempts from Kenneth Walker from one yard out, with the veteran receiver leaking to the flat on a Mahomes bootleg for his first score of the young season. Worthy remains a shaky WR5 ahead of a cake matchup with the Dolphins in Week 3.
Xavier Worthy

KC Wide Receiver #1

Xavier Worthy caught 3-of-6 targets for 18 yards in the Chiefs’ Week 1 win over the Broncos.

The entire Kansas City pass offense appeared stuck in the mud, with little ability to attack deep against one of the league’s best defenses. Worthy struggled to gain separation on targets beyond five yards of the line of scrimmage, something the Chiefs have struggled with the previous two seasons. Further hampering their downfield pass game was an inconsistent and adjusting Patrick Mahomes in his first game since tearing his ACL. The return of offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy saw the Chiefs lean on new running back Kenneth Walker, who out-gained the entire Denver offense on his own, leaving little in the way of additional motivation to air the ball out. Worthy enters a Week 2 matchup with the Colts as a low-upside WR5, likely best left on fantasy benches, for the time being.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) is practicing in full for Week 1 against the Broncos.

Worthy’s range of potential outcomes remains quite wide. The team attributed his lackluster 2025 season to the significant shoulder injury he suffered in Week 1. He missed time in training camp with a shoulder issue as well. He can be treated as a volatile FLEX playing in a top-tier offense against the Broncos.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) did not practice on Friday.

On Monday, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Worthy should resume practicing at some point this week. The Chiefs have another practice tomorrow, so Worthy technically still has 24 hours to prove Reid right, but his continued absence is slightly concerning regardless. Last Saturday, Worthy sprained the same shoulder that was surgically repaired this offseason. He dislocated his right shoulder in Week 1, causing a full labral tear and badly impacting his season. It would be great to see him resume practicing fully tomorrow or early next week.

KC Wide Receiver #1

Chiefs HC Andy Reid said Xavier Worthy is dealing with a sprained shoulder and should return to practice later this week.

This news comes after Worthy was carted from the field during Saturday’s practice. The third-year receiver is hoping to put last year’s disappointing season behind him when he caught just 42 passes for 432 yards and one touchdown while missing some time with a dislocated shoulder. Despite the early scare over the weekend, this recent injury doesn’t appear to be all too concerning.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) was carted from practice Saturday.

Worthy was taken via cart from the practice field Saturday, although beat reporters said he was sitting in the front seat and “didn’t seem distressed as he exited.” Even so, fantasy managers don’t like seeing “Worthy” and “shoulder” together in the same sentence after the speedy third-year receiver dislocated his shoulder in Week 1 of the 2025 season and never fully looked himself. That leaves his status as a situation to monitor moving forward. Per ESPN’s Nate Taylor, Worthy made “an impressive deep catch against two defenders in which he fell to the turf near the end zone.”

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports WR Garrett Wilson won’t be traded.

Wilson told reporters this week that he hasn’t requested a trade. Now Schefter reports, citing a “well-placed” source, that there’s “no way” the Jets will trade the 26-year-old wide receiver before the trade deadline. Wilson was held to two catches and 26 yards in Week 7, but remains in the WR2 mix heading into Week 8’s matchup against the Raiders.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Colts are open to trading RB Jonathan Taylor.

Multiple teams are interested in acquiring the 27-year-old Taylor and talks are active and ongoing, according to Schefter. The Ringer’s Tom Pelissero reported that the Colts already turned down an offer for Taylor that included a 2027 second-round pick and another pick. While previous reports stated the Colts weren’t interested in trading Taylor, who signed an extension before the season, Indianapolis appears to be holding out for the best offer they can get. Taylor would see a slight boost in fantasy value if acquired by another team while Seth McGowan would likely take over the Colts’ backfield.

Zach Charbonnet (knee) was downgraded to “limited” for Friday’s practice.

It’s not particularly concerning — this is probably part of a pre-established practice plan as Charbonnet completes his injury comeback — but Jadarian Price’s Friday return to full practice certainly has our attention. Now even if Charbonnet does manage to make his 2026 debut on Monday evening against the Bears, he could have even more company in Seattle’s crowded backfield. Both backs returning would make all three of Charbonnet, Price and Emanuel Wilson shaky FLEX plays. We will receive official game designations on Saturday afternoon. Until then, hang tight.

Jadarian Price (chest) was upgraded to “full” for Friday’s practice.

Price was upgraded to full while Zach Charbonnet (knee) was downgraded to limited. That is probably part of a pre-planned process with Charbonnet, but as of Friday evening, we suppose Price is now technically closer to returning than his veteran backfield mate. As it is, both players now seem more likely than not to suit up, which would make for an extremely chaotic fantasy situation with Emanuel Wilson still in the fold. With the Seahawks playing on Monday evening, we will receive official game designations Saturday afternoon.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Daron Payne suffered a “significant foot injury” in practice Friday.

Rapoport adds that the injury is likely to sideline the standout defensive tackle “for the foreseeable future,” with a stint on injured reserve appearing likely. The Commanders continue to be dealt significant injuries, this time on the defensive side of the ball, as they fight to remain in contention in a fragile NFC East division. The team will know more about the extent of the injury when Payne undergoes further testing Saturday.

KaVontae Turpin (ribs) was ruled out for Week 8 against the Cardinals.

Week 8 will mark the second consecutive absence for the veteran kick returner, with little-to-no impact on the offensive pieces around him considering he has played more than 12 offensive snaps only once all season. Fantasy managers are more interested in the potential status of George Pickens, who is listed as questionable. If Pickens can’t go, Ryan Flournoy could see a slight uptick in opportunities on the perimeter.

George Pickens (shoulder/hamstring) is questionable for Week 8 against the Cardinals.

Pickens saw a hamstring designation added to his status this week after playing through a shoulder ailment the previous two games, which was enough for the team to list him as questionable after a week of limited sessions. Although we expect Pickens to continue to play through his injuries, fantasy managers will want to confirm his status when the team releases inactives 90-minutes prior to first kick. If active, Pickens is an upside WR2 against the Cardinals.

Tyler Allgeier (toe) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 8 against the Cowboys.

Allgeier saw a steady progression in practice throughout the week, starting off with a “DNP” before upgrading in each subsequent session, culminating in a full practice Friday. He will be available to form a likely three-headed timeshare with Jeremiyah Love and Bam Knight against the Cowboys and likely does not warrant fantasy consideration.

RJ Harvey (knee) was ruled out for Week 8 against the Chiefs.

Harvey was added to the injury report Thursday with a knee injury before being unable to practice Friday, ultimately ruled out for the team’s divisional clash against the Chiefs. Expect Jonah Coleman to serve as the primary rusher in addition to the possibility he sees his pass game involvement tick up in the absences of both Harvey and Tyler Badie, the latter of whom is on injured reserve. The increase in opportunity is enough to vault Coleman into viable FLEX territory for Week 8.
