All Underdog Fantasy Football - Josh & Hayden insights about Xavier Worthy
PositiveSleeperJun 29, 2026
Young WR with speed and low ADP; early career injuries may have impacted his development, but he has potential to improve with better team environment.PositiveBreakoutJun 29, 2026
Young player with speed and a firm pathway to routes who could improve significantly with better team environment and a couple of long catches, potentially reaching top-30 WR production.PositiveValueJun 29, 2026
Going in the eighth round on Underdog but the seventh pick of the 12th round on Yahoo, showing significant ADP variance across platforms.NegativeProjectionJun 29, 2026
Only reached 80 yards receiving in 3 games across 34 career appearances, indicating a lack of consistent high-volume production.NegativeInjuryJun 29, 2026
Worthy's shoulder was severely injured early in the season when he ran into Travis Kelce on the first contact he had, which affected his performance throughout the year.NegativeRoleJun 29, 2026
Cornerbacks play through Worthy's body easily and physical corners force him to play at his speed rather than allowing him to play fast, which is a concern about his fundamental ability as a receiver.NegativeBustJun 29, 2026
Underwhelmed by Worthy's performance as a down-to-down receiver despite his speed; he caught only 4 of 16 targets 20+ yards downfield last season and 4 of 13 in intermediate routes, suggesting cornerbacks play through his body easily due to his weight and size.NegativeBustJun 29, 2026
Worthy has been underwhelming as a down-to-down WR despite his speed; he caught only 4 of 16 targets 20+ yards downfield last season versus 7 of 21 in his rookie year, suggesting cornerbacks play through his body easily due to his size.PositiveSleeperJun 29, 2026
Worthy is a first-round pick with limited target competition around him; betting on him being healthier with reduced competition from aging Travis Kelce and injured Rasheed Rice.PositiveUsageJun 29, 2026
Worthy's screen rate dropped from 1.5 screens per game two seasons ago to 0.5 last season, and his average depth of target increased from 8.9 to 12.9, indicating a more vertical role due to injury limitations.PositiveProjectionJun 29, 2026
If Worthy returns healthy, Andy Reid indicated they will use him differently with more screens and crossing routes that were removed from the playbook due to injury concerns.NegativeBustJun 29, 2026
Last season was a disaster for Worthy; he was limited by injuries and Andy Reid was afraid to use him in certain route concepts like crossing routes due to his dislocated shoulder.
