Who Should I Start? Calvin Ridley or Xavier Worthy

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley caught three passes for 42 yards in the 34-10 blowout loss to Buffalo on Sunday. After the infamous eight-target, zero-catch game vs. Indy, Ridley was able to gain positive yardage in this one but only caught three of his nine targets, recording a couple of drops in the process. The nightmare stretch continues for Ridley who also had multiple deep shots come up empty from quarterback Mason Rudolph. All the chatter of the coaching staff wanting to get Ridley the ball more did not pan out. This could possibly be the least fantasy-friendly offense in the league right now and Ridley is no exception. Up next are the Detroit Lions in Week 8.

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.
