Worthy's top-36 finish depends on usage expansion and Rice/Kelce health.
Xavier WorthyWR
The source projects Worthy (WR48) to finish as a top-36 WR in 2026, contingent on usage changes. His individual upside is tied to new offensive deployment; last year his average depth of target increased from 8.9 to 12.9 yards and screen targets per game dropped from 1.2 to 0.5. Coach Andy Reid limited Worthy's crossing routes due to a Week 1 shoulder sprain and subsequent trust issues. If Reid continues to restrict his vertical role, Worthy remains bench-only; if the Chiefs deploy him more broadly with Rashee Rice potentially limited and Travis Kelce declining at age 36, Worthy's flex consideration improves considerably.

Xavier Worthy (WR48) finishes as a top-36 WR...If Rice can't sprint at full speed in camp and if Kelce isn't moving as well in his age-36 season, then the bar for Worthy to factor into flex consideration drops considerably...If that's where he is again in 2026, then he will be a bench-only player. If they slide him around more with Rice less counted on, then there's a chance.
