Xavier Worthy Fantasy Overview

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (hamstring, knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Chargers. With WR Tyquan Thornton on IR, Kansas City is down to Xavier Worthy, Jalen Royal, and Cyrus Allen as the top 3 WRs. That pushes Worthy into WR3 range in our Week 6 rankings. TE Travis Kelce is also a good target bet this weekend.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy caught 4 of 7 targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Raiders. He averaged 17.5 yards per catch with a long of 41, finishing with 11.0 PPR points. Worthy played 45 of 60 snaps (75%) and led the team with 28 routes. Tyquan Thornton had the bigger day, catching 5 of 8 targets for 111 yards and 2 TDs on just 22 routes. Unfortunately, a dislcacted ankle for Thornton will likely knock him out for the rest of the season.

Chiefs WR Tyquan Thornton is out indefinitely after dislocating his left ankle late in Sunday's win over the Raiders, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Thornton traveled back to Kansas City with the team and is scheduled for additional testing on Monday. We'll look for details on his return timeline, but he'll likely miss most or all of the rest of the season. The Chiefs also lost WR Rashee Rice to a hamstring injury early in the Raiders game, leaving Xavier Worthy, Jalen Royals, and Cyrus Allen as their only healthy WRs.

Chiefs WRs Xavier Worthy and Cyrus Allen left Saturday's training camp practice with injuries, but neither is serious. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears that Worthy hurt a shoulder but "is believed to be OK." Allen, meanwhile, has been diagnosed with a shin bruise, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. We'll see when these guys are able to get back on the practice field, but it doesn't sound like either is in danger of missing the start of the season. Worthy remains primed to open as Kansas City's No. 2 WR, while Allen seems to be making a strong push for the No. 4 spot on the depth chart behind Rashee Rice, Worthy, and Tyquan Thornton.
