Xavier Worthy Could Struggle Against Chargers In Week 15

Friday, December 12, 4:46 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy caught three passes for 55 yards to lead the team in last week's 10-20 loss to the Houston Texans. The Texans focused their defensive attention on Rashee Rice, which allowed Worthy to emerge with the most receiving yards on the team in Week 14. Worthy has quietly strung together three games with at least three catches and 55 yards, giving him a serviceable fantasy floor, albeit without much of a ceiling. The speedy wideout has only topped 70 yards once this season and has one receiving touchdown in 10 games. Things may not get easier as Worthy faces the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 15. The Chargers defense has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season, making it a tough spot for Worthy to succeed. Fellow receiver Marquise Brown has already been ruled out for this week's contest, which could open up more opportunities for Worthy, but the matchup is difficult nonetheless. Worthy is ranked WR45 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a desperation flex option in the first week of the fantasy playoffs.
