Worthy's top-36 projection depends on Rice and Kelce health, not tape improvement.
Xavier WorthyWR
The source projects Worthy finishes as a top-36 WR, but notes there's nothing concrete about his tape or metrics in his first two years that make them optimistic he'll turn into the next No. 1 receiver for Patrick Mahomes. His upside is tied to new usage and the health of teammates: if Rashee Rice can't sprint at full speed in camp and if Travis Kelce isn't moving as well in his age-36 season, the bar for Worthy to factor into flex consideration drops considerably. Last year, his average depth of target increased from 8.9 yards to 12.9, and his screen targets per game dropped from 1.2 to 0.5.

There's nothing concrete about Worthy's tape or metrics in his first two years that make me optimistic that he will turn into the next No. 1 receiver for Patrick Mahomes, but the context of how Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce look this offseason is important.
