From the episode

target share for Xavier Worthy has gone down every single week while Rasheed Rice has continued to ramp up... His average depth of the target is under seven yards... Only 20% of his targets so far this year have come actually on deep passes... they're not manufacturing him enough touches, and that's a big part of it.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Worthy's target share declining, shallow routes, and underutilization make him a fade.

Matthew Berry has Xavier Worthy on his hate list due to declining target share (decreasing every week while Rasheed Rice ramps up), shallow average depth of target (under 7 yards), and only 20% of targets on deep passes despite being drafted as a Tyreek Hill-type deep threat. Through three games, 15 targets and 10 catches show underutilization; the Chiefs aren't manufacturing enough touches or involving him in the screen game. Matchup concern: Raiders allow third-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers and are 4-0 at home against AFC West opponents.
