Worthy was completely shut down against the Seahawks in Week 7, catching just 3 of 6 targets for 11 yards. The former first-round pick has been held to 25 receiving yards or fewer in 4 of 6 games this season, making him hard to trust in fantasy lineups. Things could worsen if Rashee Rice returns soon from his hamstring injury, as Rice will immediately command a significant target share and push Worthy further down the pecking order. There have also been questions about whether Kansas City will pursue another receiver ahead of the trade deadline, which could take another hit to Worthy's fantasy value.

Xavier Worthy has had ample opportunity to prove himself in 2026 but has come up short. With Rashee Rice effectively missing the past three games, Worthy has averaged just 4.7 receptions and 51.3 yards per game during that span. The source notes Worthy lacks spatial awareness and play strength to fight through arm tackles and pick up yards after the catch. The source has thrown in the towel on Worthy and would sell him for Malik Washington or possibly a high-end handcuff running back.

Despite his 40-yard dash record, Worthy rarely looks like the fastest player on the field on tape; his slight frame and unwillingness to battle for yards after the catch or at the catch point limit his usefulness. He was easily beaten by 220-pound S/LB Nick Emmanwori on a slot go ball down the sideline and chopped up his feet running an out route against CB Devon Witherspoon—reps that should favor him. He also dropped a crossing route that forced Mahomes into a surrender cobra. Without a couple of shallow sit routes and a screen, Worthy would have gone catchless against the Seahawks despite Rice being sidelined. He's been WR41, WR27, and WR65 in half PPR on WR48 usage and 23% target share.

Like Josh Downs, Worthy has had ample opportunity but underperformed; with Rashee Rice effectively out for three games, Worthy averaged only 4.7 receptions and 51.3 yards per game. The source has given up on Worthy, citing lack of spatial awareness and weak play strength for yards after the catch. Recommendation is to sell Worthy for Malik Washington or a high-end handcuff running back, where an injury could create a startable asset.

Jets (vs Dolphins): Breece Hall was inactive after looking like he’d play Personnel on dropbacks: 11 at 61%, 12 at 18%, 13 at 18%, 21 at 3% RBs: Braelon Allen: 82% opp share, 89% rush att share, 55% route share, 33% TPRR, 1.67 YPRR, 50% of i10 rush att, 50% of 2min RB snaps, 77% 3rd down snap share Crazy workload and looks good - think this will be a shared backfield when Breece is back - he’s a high end RB2 until then Isaiah Davis: 14% opp share, 5% rush att share, 33% route share, 27% TPRR,...
