Yahoo Fantasy Football on Xavier Worthy
From the article
Xavier Worthy just isn't very good. His slight frame and unwillingness to battle for yards after the catch or throw contact at the catch point really limit his usefulness...Worthy rarely looks like the fastest guy on the field despite the 40 record.
STACKED’s take
Worthy's tape doesn't match his 40 time; limited by frame and effort after catch.
Despite his 40-yard dash record, Worthy rarely looks like the fastest player on the field on tape; his slight frame and unwillingness to battle for yards after the catch or at the catch point limit his usefulness. He was easily beaten by 220-pound S/LB Nick Emmanwori on a slot go ball down the sideline and chopped up his feet running an out route against CB Devon Witherspoon—reps that should favor him. He also dropped a crossing route that forced Mahomes into a surrender cobra. Without a couple of shallow sit routes and a screen, Worthy would have gone catchless against the Seahawks despite Rice being sidelined. He's been WR41, WR27, and WR65 in half PPR on WR48 usage and 23% target share.
