Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy posted six receptions for a team-high 46 yards on 11 targets in Week 15 against the Cleveland Browns, and he ran three times for 30 yards and a touchdown.
Huddle Up: Worthy's biggest contribution came on a scoring run, and he could see more of an impact in that area in Week 16 and beyond, as head coach Andy Reid tries to jump-start his rushing game with Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt not doing a lot lately. Worthy is still nothing more than a low-end WR3 or flex fantasy option in most fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams heading into Week 16 against the Houston Texans.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy caught five passes for 41 yards and added a five-yard run in a 19-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 14.
Huddle Up: Worhty has logged at least four catches and 40-plus receiving yards in four straight games, but he needs to connect on a big play to be a worthwhile fantasy option. The Kansas City offense hasn't been producing many explosive plays, making the rookie is a risky flex option.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy caught five passes for 54 yards against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 13. He was targeted seven times during the game.
Huddle Up: Worthy has been more involved in the passing game recently with 18 targets over the last three games. He has posted at least 50 yards in only three games this season but could still be a possible flex option in some deeper leagues next week.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy ended up with four receptions for 46 yards on six targets in Week 12 against the Carolina Panthers.
Huddle Up: Worthy has four receptions in each of the past two games, and he has managed 107 receiving yards in the span. It's his best two-game stretch of his rookie season. He is emerging as a decent WR4 late in the season, but don't rely on him for much more heading into Week 13 against the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy caught four passes for 61 yards and a touchdown in a 31-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 11.
Huddle Up: Worthy continues to show flashes, but the rookie lacks the steady production needed to be a weekly fantasy option. He is a boom-or-bust flex play.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy caught one pass for 11 yards against the Denver Broncos in Week 10. He was targeted four times during the game.
Huddle Up: Worthy has been seeing a good amount of targets each week but has been held to under 50 yards in each of the last five games. Fantasy players likely have better options available and can keep Worthy on the bench next week.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy posted two runs for minus-10 yards in Week 9 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, while he had no receptions on two targets.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy hauled in four of his eight targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in Week 8 versus the Las Vegas Raiders.
Huddle Up: Worthy's final line looks strikingly similar to many of his others so far, which is a bit of a shocker for a player with his speed. Nevertheless, it is encouraging that has earned at least six targets in three straight. It should come as no surprise if Worthy has his best day of the season in Week 9 against a Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense that has been shredded by a similar player in Darnell Mooney in two of its last four contests.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy caught three of his eight targets for 19 yards and added a five-yard carry in a 28-18 win over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7.
Huddle Up: Worthy has had either two or three receptions in every game this year, and simply put, he needs to connect on a big play to finish with a decent stat line. Unfortunately, explosive plays have been few and far between for the rookie, making him more of a dynasty league stash option.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy was limited to three receptions for 25 yards on six targets in Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints, but he was able to score on a 3-yard TD run, the second of his NFL career.
Huddle Up: Worthy has had three or fewer catches in each of his five games, but he has four or more targets in each of the past four outings, and he receives occasional rushing attempts, too. He has scored two times through the air, and two times on the ground, too. Treat him as a WR4 or flex fantasy option in leagues of 12 or more teams, but in Week 6 you'll need an alternate plan with the Chiefs on a bye.
