Fantasy Life Articles on Xavier Worthy
From the article
Worthy has done little of note since Rice exited in Week 4 (7.5 fantasy points per game, 14-154-0 receiving, 20 targets, 62 Utilization Score)... the matchup is tough: The Broncos are No. 4 in defensive dropback EPA (-0.051), and in his two games last year against them, Worthy was abysmal (2.0 fantasy points per game, 3-25-0 receiving, 8 targets with 1-1-0 rushing).
STACKED’s take
Worthy downgraded at Broncos; poor recent usage and tough historical matchup despite injury upside.
Worthy is downgraded for Week 8 at Broncos despite potential upside from injuries to No. 1 WR Rashee Rice (hamstring, uncertain), No. 1 CB Patrick Surtain (ankle, uncertain), and SS Talanoa Hufanga (ankle, uncertain) because Worthy has done little of note since Rice exited in Week 4 (7.5 PPG, 14-154-0 receiving, 20 targets, 62 Utilization Score). This is the second straight road game for the Chiefs, who could be without RT Jaylon Moore (concussion) and have LT Josh Simmons (back, IR) out. Matchup is tough: Broncos are No. 4 in defensive dropback EPA (-0.051). In two games last year vs. Broncos, Worthy was abysmal (2.0 PPG, 3-25-0 receiving, 8 targets with 1-1-0 rushing). Chiefs have cut down Broncos' home edge due to division play on similar grass surface and outdoor stadium.
