Who Should I Start? Calvin Ridley or Xavier Worthy

Sunday, October 12, 6:16 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's Week 6 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. Ridley exited in the second quarter with a hamstring issue and will be held out for the rest of this game as a precaution. He'll finish this game hauling in his lone target for 18 yards. The loss of Ridley should mean increased roles for Elic Ayomanor, Tyler Lockett, and Van Jefferson. Fantasy managers should check back for more updates on Ridley's status. Sadly, hamstring issues have a tendency to linger, so Ridley could be looking at a multiple game absence.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will face the Detroit Lions on Sunday night in Week 6. Worthy was listed as a DNP on Thursday after practicing in full on Wednesday, leaving his status for the weekend in doubt heading into Friday. The young receiver then logged a full practice on Friday and does not have an injury designation for Sunday night's game. Worthy had six catches for 42 yards in last week's 28-31 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The speedster led the team in targets but finished fourth in yardage, averaging just 7.0 yards per reception. Worthy has been battling shoulder and ankle injuries, but has still been the team's WR1 in the absence of Rashee Rice. With Rice still suspended until Week 7, Worthy should lead the team in targets against Detroit. The Lions have scored the most points in the league this season, and the Chiefs will need to score often to keep up. In a game with a 52.5 O/U, Worthy should have plenty of opportunities to score fantasy points. Worthy is ranked WR11 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him an WR1 this week.
