From the video
Xavier Worthy who's wide receiver 49 right now... comes off a year in which he caught just one touchdown pass... he gets hurt in the first game... he actually scored in his rookie season nine touchdowns... Andy Reid said as much at the owners meetings that they just didn't want to use him on crossing routes... they're counting on him. They used a first round pick.
STACKED’s take
WR49 offers rare value if the Chiefs offense improves and Worthy stays healthy.
Worthy is a cheap sleeper at WR 49 ADP despite the source not loving him as a prospect; he scored 9 TDs in his rookie season but caught only 1 TD last year after suffering a labrum injury in the first game that the Chiefs limited by restricting his crossing routes. Andy Reid confirmed at owners meetings that route diversity should expand this year with better health. Worthy had the second-lowest share of catchable air yards in the NFL midway through November before Mahomes' injury, but the source prefers him because the cost is cheap enough that if the offense semi-explodes, the draft pick will pay off. He has a clean bill of health going into the season and the team didn't bring in other receivers, so they're counting on him after using a first-round pick. Mahomes has struggled as a deep passer since Tyreek Hill left and is recovering from ACL injury, which limits Worthy's ceiling, but if Mahomes recaptures deep-ball accuracy, the offensive line improves, or Rasheed Rice faces discipline, Worthy's opportunity expands significantly.
