The Kansas City Chiefs (2-2) will host the Detroit Lions (4-1) in Week 6. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Xavier Worthy.
Is Xavier Worthy Playing in Week 6?
Worthy (ankle/shoulder) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Lions. Check back here for more updates as we get closer to game time.
We’ll continue to monitor the Chiefs’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Xavier Worthy in Week 6?
Xavier Worthy was back to being WR1 in this offense on Monday night, even after being a late add to the injury report with ankle swelling following the flight.
The speedster was on the field for 77.8% of the snaps and earned nine targets. More encouraging was the type of involvement: he had a pair of behind-the-line-of-scrimmage targets in addition to two that came 25+ yards down field.
Health limitations seem to be a thing of the past (17 targets on 66 routes over the past two weeks), and we still have one game left until we have to worry about what this offense looks like when Rashee Rice returns from suspension.
We will dive deep into that when the time is here, but for Week 6, you can bank on Worthy as a strong WR2 as you normally would, even against a Lions defense trending in a positive direction.
