Jauan Jennings Will Remain Out in Week 10

Friday, November 13, 11:36 AM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jauan Jennings (calf) has been ruled out for his team's Week 10 matchup against the Green Bay Packers due to a calf injury. It will be the second straight missed game for Jennings, who was also sidelined in the Vikings' Week 9 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The 29-year-old has seen very minimal usage in the Minnesota passing game so far this season, recording just six catches for 54 yards on 10 targets across six games. Now that the Vikings have Kirk Cousins in place as their starting quarterback, Jennings could emerge as a more productive pass-catcher down the stretch. However, he will have to wait at least one more week to get that opportunity. With Jennings and Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson (wrist) both sidelined, the Minnesota passing game could be very concentrated on wide receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison (thumb) in Week 10.

Xavier Worthy Could See Reduced Role In Week 10

Friday, November 13, 12:37 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will take on the Atlanta Falcons on the road in Week 10. Worthy had a decent performance last week, catching six passes for 48 yards in the dominant 35-12 win over the New York Jets. Worthy led the team in receptions and finished second in targets, tied with Travis Kelce. Despite the encouraging performance, Worthy could be in for a decrease in usage with the addition of wide receiver Josh Downs at the trade deadline. Downs is one of the NFL's best separators in man coverage, making him a valuable target for quarterback Patrick Mahomes. With Rashee Rice routinely leading the team in targets and Kelce not far behind, it will be interesting to see how the rest of the target tree shakes out with Downs. With running back Kenneth Walker also getting multiple targets a game, there may be too many mouths to feed for Worthy to be a dependable fantasy asset. On top of the target competition, the Falcons defense has typically been a tough matchup for wide receivers. Worthy simply has multiple things working against him this week. Worthy is ranked WR58 in our RotoBaller Week 10 PPR rankings, making him a desperation flex option this weekend.
