The Kansas City Chiefs will host the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 15. 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 15?
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 15?
Baby steps.
Baby steps might not be enough this time of year, but at least things are moving in a reasonable direction.
On Sunday night, Worthy had a pair of 20+ yard receptions and, believe it or not, it was his first game like that since Week 4 against the Ravens.
How crazy is that?
The splash plays were good to see, but this is a broken Kansas City offense right now that lacks direction behind Rashee Rice. Their WR1 saw eight targets against the Texans and then saw six players check in with 2-5 looks in the loss.
Worthy comes preloaded with upside by nature of his skill set and quarterback, but he remains ranked outside of my top 40 at the position in this divisional matchup against the second-best defense at limiting 20+ yard completions this season.
