From the article

Since those two players have to play in the slot, it forces Worthy to handle more outside reps. Can he take a step there to be more viable? Or do the Chiefs decide to use Worthy more in the slot and live with the consequences elsewhere? I don't doubt Worthy can have a viable role within the offense; it just feels hard with the current personnel.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Worthy's slot role forced outside by Rice/Kelce, limiting offensive fit.

Worthy's role in the offense is constrained by Rice and Kelce both playing in the slot, forcing Worthy to handle more outside reps where he has limitations. The source questions whether Worthy can take a step outside to be more viable, or if the Chiefs will use him more in the slot at the expense of other personnel fit. The current personnel configuration makes it hard for Worthy to have a productive role despite his viability.
