From the episode

No, he's a gadget player. I tried to tell everyone this before the draft. You never see him just like running a post and he caught it. It's like, oh, it's a reverse or it's some weird squeeze.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Worthy is a high-risk gadget player with durability concerns.

The source labels Xavier Worthy a 'gadget player' rather than a traditional receiver, noting he struggles to run standard routes and frequently gets hit by teammates on crossing routes. His small frame and recurring shoulder issues make him a high-risk player who is difficult to rely on for consistent fantasy production.
