The Kansas City Chiefs will visit the Tennessee Titans in Week 16. 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 Worthy Playing in Week 16?
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 16?
Xavier Worthy doesn’t have a top 25 finish at the position since September, so it shouldn’t surprise you in the slightest that he’s off my radar this weekend with Gardner Minshew taking over under center.
The volume simply hasn’t been there at any point and while the chunk plays were finally starting to come (25+ yard reception in four straight), the hopes of those chunk plays being stable vanished when Patrick Mahomes crumpled to the ground.
There’s a larger conversation that needs to be had this offseason about how his skill set fits into this offense (for the record, I think it can work, but maybe the Rashee Rice saga this summer impacted the plans a bit). I’m tentatively bullish for 2026, but that doesn’t mean I’d suggest rolling him out there in anything but deeper formats for the remainder of this season.
And yes, “tentatively bullish” will be the name of any team I draft him on next season.
