It was definitely encouraging to see Worthy reel in seven passes for 73 yards against the Chargers. However, he also finished the game with a 4.3-yard average depth of target (ADoT).

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Worthy's recent 7-rec, 73-yard game shows production but not in intended vertical role.

Worthy has played well in the last two games, recording seven receptions for 73 yards against the Chargers. However, the source notes frustration that Worthy was drafted to provide vertical element but has excelled in Rice's catch-and-run role during Rice's absences, finishing with a 4.3-yard ADoT against the Chargers—not the vertical player he was drafted to be. Worthy will likely enter his contract season in 2027 unless the Chiefs exercise an expensive fifth-year option for 2028.
