Christian Watson Suffers Chest Injury Thursday, Taken to Hospital

Thursday, October 29, 5:31 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (chest) was taken to the hospital after leaving early on Thursday for precautionary reasons, per Ari Meirov of the 33rd Team. The team's top wideout exited the contest in the first half after taking a hard hit after making a 53-yard reception and was quickly deemed questionable to return. He walked off the field on his own power, but the breakout wide receiver is now set to undergo further testing. Before exiting, Watson hit the century mark on just six catches (seven targets). While he remains out, managers should expect second-year wide receiver Matthew Golden and Tucker Kraft to draw most of the targets.

Xavier Worthy Set To Reprise WR1 Role At Seattle

Friday, October 23, 11:56 AM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will get another opportunity to act as the team's WR1 against the Seattle Seahawks this weekend. Worthy stepped up in the absence of Rashee Rice last week, catching all seven of his targets for 73 yards against the Los Angeles Chargers. Worthy looked explosive, especially on his big crossing route that set the Chiefs up in field goal range. The third-year wideout should continue to see increased usage this week with Rashee Rice ruled out ahead of the contest. The path to fantasy success will not be easy for Worthy facing the strong Seahawks defense. The Seattle defensive unit is one of the worst matchups for opposing wide receivers, but Worthy should see his fair share of designed targets. Despite the difficult matchup, Worthy is ranked WR37 in our RotoBaller Week 7 PPR rankings meaning he should find his way into lineups. Fantasy managers struggling with injuries and bye weeks should consider starting Worthy for as long as he is the WR1 of the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs.
