From the article

Worthy, who's still seeking his first 100-yard day (or even 90-yard day) as a pro, seems like an oddball play at Captain. But the Week One usage (a team-high six targets) was encouraging; it's clear the team views him as the No. 2 option, if an unconventional one. He may never be much of a deep threat, but a Wan'Dale Robinson-like route tree could produce plenty of 8-catch, 90-yard statlines out of nowhere.

STACKED’s take

Worthy's team-high six targets signal No. 2 role; route tree could yield 8-90 lines.

Worthy is still seeking his first 100-yard day (or even 90-yard day) as a pro but showed encouraging Week One usage with a team-high six targets, signaling the team views him as the No. 2 option.

He's attractive paired with Rice to gobble up most Kansas City yardage.
