The Kansas City Chiefs will visit the Dallas Cowboys in Week 13. 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 13?
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 13?
We seem to be settling into a specific role for Worthy, and while I don’t think it’s ideal, the clarity is welcome.
The burner has posted a target share north of 18.5% in three of his past four games, and while he doesn’t have an end zone target since Week 6, this four-game run has seen 40.7% of his targets come deep downfield.
The vertical targets naturally carry more variance with them, and that can be viewed as a negative, but when the alternative is to fight with Rashee Rice/Travis Kelce for short-to-mid-range targets, embracing the significant play role is something I’m in favor of if one of every five throws is going his direction.
His 31-yard catch against the Colts last week was his longest since September, a small step in the right direction for a Chiefs team that has the gas pressed down. I don’t think you’re looking at the type of growth you were hoping for, but I’m happy with the potential outcome in a shootout environment like this on the fast track.
Worthy slides into my top 30 at the position this week, in the middle of the three Thanksgiving day speed-oriented receivers (behind Jameson Williams and ahead of Christian Watson).
