Should You Start or Sit Xavier Worthy in Week 2?
Xavier Worthy was handed the ball on Kansas City’s second play from scrimmage, and I allowed my mind to wander.
Are we looking at a skinny version of prime Deebo Samuel? Could Worthy’s generational speed be weaponized in a crazy way by the mad scientist that is Andy Reid?
As it turns out, I may have gotten sucked in a touch quickly. On the next play, he landed hard on his shoulder and was visibly frustrated as he was helped to the locker room.
Worthy was ruled out for the rest of the opener shortly thereafter and seems poised to miss the rest of the month at the very least.
If he was set to be a full go for this contest, it would have been easy to feel good about playing him. In his brief Week 1 appearance, he was as featured as we could have hoped, and while much of his production came in garbage time, he did turn eight Super Bowl targets into eight catches, 157 yards, and two long touchdowns (24 and 50 yards).
The million-dollar question: who, if anyone, picks up the Worthy role now that Andy Reid has had a week to sit on things?
