WR Xavier Worthy, KC (2 Viewers)

[Ilov80s]

He went 1.6 in my .5 PPR league. I assume later in SF/ 2QB.

For non SF, I would consider taking him at 1.04. That's not really an expression of my love for him so much as it is just a reflection of how bad the draft class is.

Jeff Mans said this is the best draft class for fantasy in the history of the NFL.

Rich Hribar just said this rookie WR class is a lie.

He needs to cleanup all those drops in mini camp.

He cut his drop rate from 13.4% in 2022 to 5.4% in 2023, so the broom is already at work. Marvin Harrison had a 6.9% drop rate in 2023 to put this into perspective.

No, he’s dropping balls in mini camp.

I remember a few years back, in Cincinnati…

Wiley has stood out most among skill players the last two days, IMO. Worthy much better today, including the deep catch referenced. Underthrown, but he adjusted back to it. Later he had a nasty release off the LOS that put DB in a blender and had offensive sideline going nuts.

Andy Reid on Xavier Worthy: “I thought he did a nice job picking things up. We asked him to do a whole lot of stuff there. He was put in mostly the primary spots, so it was good for him to get in there and move around a little bit.”

#Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes on WR Xavier Worthy: "You can tell how intelligent he is. He's asking the right questions. Before the hamstring injury he was getting the work in. . . just being precautionary, he could probably get back out there right now if he really wanted to. . ."

I could only find 7 WR's who ran under 4.3 at the NFL combine:

1) 2010 - Jacoby Ford - 4.28 - Selected in the 4th round - Appeared in 38 games over 4 years and never finished higher than WR67; tried to catch on in the CFL but couldn't
2) 2013 - Marquise Goodwin - 4.27 - Selected in the 3rd round - Only finish worth mentioning was WR29 in 2017, no other finish better than WR70 - currently a free agent
3) 2015 - JJ Nelson - 4.28 - Selected in the 5th round - Spent 5 years in the NFL with a best of WR57 in 2016; bounced around practice squads a few years before calling it quits
4) 2017 - John Ross - 4.22 - Selected in the 1st round - Best finish was WR73, has not played since week 14 of 2021; just signed today with the Eagles, 43.4 catch percentage
5) 2020 - Henry Ruggs - 4.27 - Selected in the 1st round - WR89 finish as a rookie, was WR31 thru 7 games in 2021, until he destroyed his career and is currently in prison
6) 2022 - Tyquan Thornton - 4.28 - Selected in the 2nd round - 35 catches/338 yards/2 TD's thru his first 2 injury plagued seasons; currently pretty low on the NE depth chart

7) 2024 - Xavier Worthy - 4.21 - Selected in the 1st round - Can he become the first WR to translate his monster speed into fantasy/NFL success?

I think TheWinz list only includes players since 1999 when they went to electronic timing.

As an aside, Tyreek Hill was not invited to the combine.

 

[need2know]

Just a hunch. I bet he never amounts to anything.

Your hunch is just as good as anyone's, but not very helpful. It's a hunch. Bui at this stage what else is there to say that hasn't been said? My opinion is there is more to the player than speed and that has been well documented already. If anyone can bring out the best in Worthy it is Mahomes and Reid. Enough talk, the season can't get here soon enough.

 

[Gruden's Keyboard]

Let's hope he's a bust.

Because if he achieves the high end of his perceived potential, it's going to be irritating having to watch the chiefs in the super bowl each year.

I guess my reasons are he's small and seems to drop alot. Speed doesn't matter much if you are knocked around and can't catch
