From the article

In 12 career games with Rice, Worthy has averaged 7.7 half-PPR points per game. In 22 games without Rice, Worthy has averaged 9.56 half-PPR points per game. It should not come as a surprise if Waddle explodes in Week 1 and Rice and Worthy struggle for the Chiefs

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Worthy's 9.56 PPG without Rice drops to 7.7 PPG with him back.

The source predicts Worthy will struggle in Week 1 against Denver's talented defense, which allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game (21.4) to wide receivers last season. Worthy didn't take advantage of Rice's absence last season; his apologists point to a shoulder injury, but his 2025 season was disappointing. Rice's return is unfavorable for Worthy's outlook. In 12 career games with Rice, Worthy has averaged 7.7 half-PPR points per game. In 22 games without Rice, Worthy has averaged 9.56 half-PPR points per game. The source expects Worthy to be outscored by Jaylen Waddle in Week 1.
