First-round pick with 4.21 speed going as WR49; shoulder injury limited 2025 deployment.

Worthy is currently going as WR49 in both ADP and ECR, a ranking the source called flatly wrong. A first-round pick in 2024 with 4.21 speed, Worthy strung together a strong 10-game stretch as a rookie after a teammate's season-ending knee injury, averaging 5.8 catches, 67.9 receiving yards, and six touchdowns over that span (excluding the meaningless season finale when starters sat). That production pace projects to approximately 950 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns over a full 17-game season. Last year didn't go to plan: in the season opener, Worthy dislocated his shoulder colliding with a teammate on a crossing route. He missed only a couple of games but wasn't the same player upon return, and the coaching staff acknowledged the injury limited deployment the rest of the way. The bull case: his teammate is now the presumed target leader but has played just 12 games in each of the last two seasons, and Kansas City didn't add another proven receiving weapon this offseason, leaving real target volume on the table. Worthy's big-play speed means he doesn't need huge target totals to be fantasy relevant. The skeptical view points to mediocre separation and route win rate numbers across his two NFL seasons and questions what specific role gets him consistent targets once accounting for other established pass catchers. Both takes agree the answer may come down to how the new offensive playcaller deploys him.
