Should I Start Xavier Worthy?

Saturday, August 1, 3:18 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (shoulder) is believed to be "OK," according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. The young wideout exited Saturday's practice early due to a shoulder injury. However, the former first-round selection appears to have avoided a serious injury and may not face many limitations during the remainder of training camp. Fantasy managers should continue to keep a close eye on his stats as he works his way back to full strength. Last season, Worthy had a disappointing sophomore campaign as he dealt with a lingering shoulder injury (dislocated shoulder) he suffered back in Week 1. Over the course of the 2025 season (14 games), the wideout scored just one touchdown. However, as a rookie, he found the end zone nine times, with three of them coming on the ground. When healthy, Worthy possesses high-end WR3/FLEX upside operating as the primary deep-threat in the Kansas City passing attack.
