Who Should I Start? DeVonta Smith or Xavier Worthy

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith went "on a tear" during Thursday's training camp practice, according to team reporter Tim McManus. After a slow first day, the Slim Reaper was one of the standout performers for Philly. The former first-round pick and Heisman Trophy winner out of Alabama was held under 900 receiving yards for the first time in his career last season, but he missed four games, and the Eagles ranked last in passing attempts per game (25.7). The 26-year-old is likely to be a volatile fantasy option once again in 2025, but the Eagles have a significantly tougher schedule compared to last year, meaning the passing volume could see at least a slight uptick. Either way, Smith has weekly WR1 upside at a WR3/WR4 pricetag.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy alluded to Kay Adams during an appearance on FanDuel TV's "Up and Adams" that the team may return to their once-signature explosive play style. "Coach Reid told us during OTAs Phase 1, 'When you come back, get your hamstrings ready,'" said the former Texas Longhorn. Once a high-flying offensive juggernaut, Kansas City has shifted to a more clock-control, defensive-oriented style of play. However, Worthy flashed his prowess as a deep threat during the team's playoff run, and an improved offensive line could push the Chiefs back to favor stretching the field more in 2025. He'll have third-year running mate, Rashee Rice, and veteran tight end Travis Kelce to contend with for targets, although it isn't a foregone conclusion that Rice and Worthy won't be a boon for each other as they operate in different roles. The 22-year-old garners some of the highest upside of the mid-round fantasy wideouts.
