WR Xavier Worthy, KC (3 Viewers)

[beef]

I'm having a devil of a time debating Worthy vs JS-N, non-ppr.

Worthy. Just one catch and you could be looking at 10+ points. JSN is boring.

Over the past 3 seasons, Xavier Worthy ranked 4th among all Power 5 players in yards after the catch, and Patrick Mahomes' WRs have led the NFL in YAC each of the past 3 seasons.

Now this duo is working together in Kansas City:

The Bills are on suicide alert.

The majority of Rice’s production in 2023 came on passes behind the LOS or targets within 9 yards of the LOS.

Rashee Rice KC (2023)

• Deep (20+) 1/6 67-0 73.6 NFL passer rating
• Intermediate (10-19) 13/16 214-2 112.0
• Short (0-9) 38/50 420-3 2 drops 2 fum 1 INT 0/5 on contested catches 112.7
• Behind LOS 27/28 237-2 averaged 11.5 YAC per reception 125.7

Interestingly, similar usage for Worthy at Texas last year.

Xavier Worthy Texas (2023)

Worthy (Texas)

• Deep (20+) 5/19 196-2 1 INT 2/7 on contested catches 83.2 NFL passer rating
• Intermediate (10-19) 14/22 268-1 1 INT 1/5 on contested catches 102.1
• Short (0-9) 22/33 234-1 4 drops 2/8 on contested catches 97.3
• Behind LOS 26/29 185-1 1 drop 1 fum 9.9 YAC per reception 125.7

As Matt Harmon says, that’s not a route tree, that’s a route shrub…a route bush, if you will.

Should be fine. The execution is flawless, the scheme is superior, the QB is the best in the NFL. Speed kills.

I’m sure neither of these guys will flop when teams start playing press man & knock them off stride. Nothing to see here.

I am still in shock they hand delivered this guy to the Chiefs. I do not think Worthy is a world beater but his chances of leaving carnage are maximized on KC.

He’s better than you’re giving him credit for. Sit back and enjoy.

I have been wrong many times, this just may be another one. However, if he was on any other team I would not have much interest. Reid will put him in positions to maximize his skillset. As a Mahomes holder, I am rooting for him.

Yeah, i feel like if he had come out a decade ago he’d get drafted in the top 10 by Al Davis and we’d just stick a fork in his fantasy prospects. But landing with Andy Reed and Mahomes you have to sit-up and take notice.

[beef]

one touch is all he needs

 

[ZADO]

Well thats ANOTHER way he can score points

 

[JohnnyU]

That’s 3 TDs for me in fantasy

 

[dipandglide]

That was beautiful. Defenders should be scared.

 

[JoeSteeler]

Put him in the lineup at the last minute over Jakobi.

 

[King of the Jungle]

I'm stupid. You're smart. I was wrong. You were right. You're the best. I'm the wrost. You're very good-looking. I'm not very attractive.

You’re funny and I’m funnier.

 

[FarFromHome]

This dude is getting serious critical game targets.

 

[nittanylion]

I'm having a devil of a time debating Worthy vs JS-N, non-ppr.

Well, the devil made me do it...and I sure am glad he did!

 

[Bankerguy]

He looks like a threat to score every time he touches the ball.

 

[Drake Hater]

And another one

 

[Pietaster2]

I think he’s going to out perform that adp.

 

[JohnnyU]

 

[FarFromHome]

Great game. Having said that. 2 catch 12 yard game coming. At least for this first year, he has that feel of a tough guy use as a weekly starter. All my opinion of course.

 

[efactor]

Bills letting the Chiefs move up for Worthy. Ouch

 

[JohnnyU]

Bills letting the Chiefs move up for Worthy. Ouch

..,,and the Bills take a guy that can’t get open

 

[TVT 0 N S T A]

When Hollywood Brown returns... where does that put Worthy for targets? Boom/Bust weeks? Efficiency continues?

Best ball special. Volume was always going to be an issue in the beginning.

Puts Brown on the Bench

 

[Smack Tripper]

He's really what they've needed which is gonna keep him on the field and generate opportunities

Buy high on him

Wow great call.

It's settled

 

[jdoggydogg]

This dude is getting serious critical game targets.

Exactly. It won't show up on the stat sheet, but Mahomes threw what appeared to be an uncatchable end zone target to Worthy.

 

[jdoggydogg]

Put him in the lineup at the last minute over Jakobi.

Started him over Amari Cooper. Not interested in playing Cooper against Travon Diggs.

 

[Mookie Gizzy]

I went WR heavy so there’s no way I’m starting him, now I’m looking to package him and Likely for an upgrade at RB.

 

[gbill2004]

Especially once Hollywood returns next week.

Xavier Worthy's best plays in rookie's 2-TD debut vs. Ravens | Week 1

 

[massraider]

Thousands of men turned to their friends last night and said with a smug smile:

That's my flex.

Or was that just at my place?

 

[Jamesinaz]

That was beautiful. Defenders should be scared.

As if defenders weren't already scared when KC came to visit?

[JohnnyU]

The Bills are on suicide alert.

I believe the Bills' decision not taking Worthy when they could have and ended up settling for Coleman at 2.01, will haunt them for years. Not to mention gifting the Chiefs Worthy, why in the hell would they do that?

 

[Willie Mays Hayes]

It was a great debut but it was 2 TDs on 3 touches. There was some flukiness to his first game since one TD came off a jailbreak style of play and then a broken coverage. It's not like Worthy is going to score 12+ TD's on the season.

 

[jm192]

The talent is undeniable, and long term, smoke 'em if you got 'em. Dude is going to go scorched earth in KC.

Re-draft, 2 TD's on 3 touches feels like the time to shop him.

I only needed a few touches to impress my then girlfriend into marrying me 27 years ago. I believe Worthy won't need a lot of touches to have significant fantasy relevance on occasions. but he's a rookie, and there will obviously be weeks of irrelevance, just as there are weeks of irrelevance with me according to my wife. Take the good with the bad I suppose.

 

[ffmail4me]

He’s the perfect best ball WR.

… yeah but he could

 

[djjosee]

What about next year?

a) A year of getting to know the offence
b) Brown free agent
c) Possible suspension for Rice
d) Kelce a year older

Hmmm

Gotta say I like his chances. All he has to do is slip behind the coverage once or so a game. Geez he had another just off his fingertips in the EZ.

I think week 1, you'll have a lot of emotions/over-reactions.

People have buyer's remorse over the guys that underperformed.
They have FOMO over the guys that blow up that they don't have.

Worthy in his 1st ever NFL game, 1st game of the season, to have 2 touchdowns--some people are going to lose their minds. In redraft, I'd love to see what people are willing to pay for that.
