Who Should I Start? Amon-Ra St. Brown or Xavier Worthy

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown delivered a clutch performance in Week 7, helping secure a 31-29 win over the Minnesota Vikings. St. Brown was perfect on the day, catching all eight of his targets for 112 yards and a touchdown. He made a critical reception late in the game during the Lions' final drive, setting up kicker Jake Bates' game-winning field goal. His efforts resulted in him being one of the top fantasy performers in Week 7, highlighting his consistency as a go-to playmaker. The Lions will look to keep St. Brown involved in their Week 8 home game against the Tennessee Titans.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy had three catches for 19 yards in the 28-18 win against the San Francisco 49ers. Worthy completed three catches on a team-leading eight targets in the contest. Worthy also had one carry for five yards in this contest. Despite the ball heading his way more than any other pass catcher, Worthy could not turn opportunity into a big game. Kansas City is trying to increase Worthy's usage, but it is up to the rookie receiver to step up to the plate. Thankfully, Worthy will have more favorable matchups moving forward since the Niners are one of the most well-rounded defensive units in the league. Worth and the Chiefs will take on the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8. Despite the Raiders giving up the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers, Worthy's involvement out of the backfield and designed plays should keep his usage high in the team's next matchup. Worthy is a high-upside flex play as long as you can stomach his low floor.
