Who Should I Start? Ja'Marr Chase or Xavier Worthy

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase returned from his one-game suspension in the Thanksgiving win over the Baltimore Ravens. The wideout played well, amassing seven catches off a team-high 14 targets for 110 yards (15.7 YPC). With Joe Burrow (toe) back on the field after two-plus months on the shelf, it didn't take the duo long to reconnect to help the Bengals snap their four-game skid. Granted, with Tee Higgins (concussion) sidelined, there were a few extra targets up for grabs. However, Burrow should continue to look in Chase's direction often in Week 14 versus the Bills, a club that has struggled defensively of late. That likely won't change even if Higgins is back in the equation.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy was listed on the injury report this week with an ankle injury, but logged two full practices before being removed from the report ahead of Thursday's game. Worthy was second in the receiving pecking order, behind Rashee Rice, in last week's win over the Indianapolis Colts. Worthy caught four passes for 59 yards on eight targets in Week 12. Despite his solid performance last week, Worthy has been a difficult player for fantasy managers to trust this season. In Weeks 10 and 11, Worthy failed to catch more than three passes and did not eclipse 30 receiving yards in either game. With Rice dominating targets and Kelce remaining heavily involved, Worthy has often been relegated to third or fourth in targets. Worthy will have a chance to have a boom game this week against the Cowboys, who have allowed the most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. This week's matchup is also tied for the highest total of the week, meaning there should be a lot of points scored for both teams. Worthy is ranked WR43 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, putting him deep-league flex territory mainly due to his inconsistency. That said, fantasy managers could roll the dice with Worthy this week since the passing volume should be high for the Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day.
