XavierWorthy

News: 2 days agoWorthy brought in one of four targets for 11 yards in the Chiefs' 16-14 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

Spin: The speedy rookie once again struggled to get on the same page with Patrick Mahomes, leading to Worthy's second-lowest reception and receiving yardage totals yet. Worthy also briefly appeared to be dealing with an arm injury in the second half but remained in the game, and he could continue struggling to make an impact against a talented Bills defense in a Week 11 road battle.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: That the Chiefs paid handsomely to move up to 28th overall in the NFL draft to select Worthy speaks volumes about their regard for his big-play ability. In his final season at Texas, he averaged 7.7 yards after the catch per target and broke 15 tackles, and he ultimately broke the 40-yard dash record at the NFL combine (4.21 seconds). Though the Chiefs' receiving depth should afford them patience with Worthy's development, his ability to stretch the field will prove handy to them from Day 1. If he clicks, he could deliver fantasy WR3 numbers right from the start. Bear in mind, however, that players of his ilk often have their single-game statistical peaks and valleys.
