The Kansas City Chiefs will visit the Denver Broncos in Week 11. 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 11?
Worthy is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
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 Worthy in Week 11?
Worthy’s yards per route run is down 25.2% since Rashee Rice returned from suspension, and he’s yet to earn a single end zone target across those three games (98 routes).
With Rice in the mix, Travis Kelce healthy, and Tyquan Thornton at least around (13 routes run in two of the three Rice games), the floor/ceiling math is trending away from Worthy.
That’s not to say that Kansas City’s speed demon is a complete fade (he handled an end-around on their fourth offensive snap in Week 9 against the Bills), but I do think the days of starting him with confidence are gone.
He’s a player that I’m flexing when my matchup requires an infusion of upside and the opponent is at least neutral.
This isn’t that. Worthy sits outside of my top 30 at the position this week, and I’d rather look in the direction of boring high-floor options (Khalil Shakir types).
