Should You Start or Sit Xavier Worthy in Week 4?
The final decision continues to linger late into the week, but the Chiefs again ruled out Xavier Worthy for Week 3 with a shoulder injury that cost him all but three snaps in the season opener.
His ability to get on the practice field at all last week puts him in a position to return this week, something that didn’t seem likely given the optics of the injury.
So, can you trust him in this spot?
The Chiefs did get him two opportunities (one rush and one target) before the injury, and the fact that his replacement went on to see 16 targets against the Chargers points pretty strongly to how this team plans to use their talented receiver in his second season while Rashee Rice serves his suspension.
There is, of course, plenty of risk in betting on a loose shoulder, as it could impact how he plays and how Andy Reid deploys him. I have him ranked as more of an “if you need upside” flex play than a surefire option, but this is a pass-centric offense playing against a defense that can shut down the run.
You’re likely playing him if you have him, but don’t be afraid to consider other options if you feel like you’re already favored in your Week 4 matchup.
