Yahoo Sports NFL on Xavier Worthy
From the article
If Worthy can regain the form he found at the end of 2024, the Chiefs won't have an issue at receiver. He finished with 58 receptions on 76 targets for 679 yards and 6 touchdowns in the final seven regular-season and three postseason games that year. That's a 17-game pace of 99 receptions for 1,150 yards and 10 touchdowns. That's a legitimate No. 2 wide receiver, exactly what the team is lacking.
STACKED’s take
Worthy must recapture 2024 form to fill Thornton's void; 17-game pace of 99 rec, 1,150 yards, 10 TDs would solve receive
With Tyquan Thornton sidelined by a dislocated ankle and Rashee Rice dealing with a hamstring issue, Worthy is the only active wide receiver on the Chiefs roster with more than 20 receiving yards on the season. The source argues that if Worthy can regain the form he showed at the end of 2024—when he posted 58 receptions on 76 targets for 679 yards and 6 touchdowns over 10 games (a 17-game pace of 99 receptions, 1,150 yards, and 10 touchdowns)—the Chiefs won't have an issue at receiver. That production level represents a legitimate No. 2 wide receiver, exactly what the team is lacking. The source emphasizes that Worthy has the deep speed and has made contested deep catches before, citing his playoff catch against the Bills. With the trade deadline approaching on November 10th and only four games remaining before decision time, Worthy is under particular pressure to step up and prove why the Chiefs selected him in the first round.
