Who Should I Start? Garrett Wilson or Xavier Worthy

Friday, November 14, 1:33 PM

New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said on Friday that he expects wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) to play again this year, but Glenn also added that it's up to the doctors, according to Antwan V. Staley of the New York Daily News. Wilson missed several games with a knee injury before returning in the Week 10 win over the Cleveland Browns, only to aggravate his knee. The Jets placed the 25-year-old on Injured Reserve this week, so he'll be forced to miss at least the next three games following the team's Thursday night loss to the New England Patriots. He won't be eligible to play before Sunday, Dec. 14, against the Jaguars. With Wilson out for the foreseeable future, John Metchie III and Adonai Mitchell figure to be featured as the team's top pass-catchers in what has been the worst passing offense in football this year. Fantasy managers stashing Wilson need to know that there's a chance he won't contribute again in 2025.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will take on the Denver Broncos in Week 11. Worthy should be well-rested coming out of the team's Week 10 bye, but it may not matter given his lack of production lately. Worthy was set to open the season as the team's clear WR1 during Rashee Rice's suspension, but Travis Kelce ran into Worthy, derailing his season in the opening quarter of Week 1. Worthy returned from his shoulder injury in Week 4 and racked up five catches for 83 yards, along with some usage in the run game. It was a promising first game, but it has been downhill since for Worthy. The speedy wideout has now caught three or fewer passes in three of his last four games. Worthy has only managed to eclipse 50 receiving yards twice in six games this season, and now he has to contend with Rice for targets. Worthy will also face the Broncos defense this week, the toughest matchup for opposing wide receivers this season. Worthy is ranked WR29 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, putting him in WR3/Flex range this week.
