Jauan Jennings News
Tuesday, October 27, 8:08 AM
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jauan Jennings is a trade bet, not a production add: trade rumors, not production, drive the waiver case. He caught two of three targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 16-10 victory over the Indianapolis Colts, his best receiving performance of the season, but he played just 33 offensive snaps (56%), down from 49 (69%) in Week 5. He has managed only four receptions for 43 yards on eight targets through five appearances, with Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and T.J. Hockenson commanding more prominent roles. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport named Jennings a potential trade candidate on October 13, suggesting a return to San Francisco could make sense. No deal has materialized, so Jennings has little immediate appeal against the Detroit Lions in Week 8. Stash him in leagues with at least 14 teams only if you'll gamble on a change of scenery before the November 10 trade deadline.

Xavier Worthy News
Friday, October 23, 11:56 AM
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will get another opportunity to act as the team's WR1 against the Seattle Seahawks this weekend. Worthy stepped up in the absence of Rashee Rice last week, catching all seven of his targets for 73 yards against the Los Angeles Chargers. Worthy looked explosive, especially on his big crossing route that set the Chiefs up in field goal range. The third-year wideout should continue to see increased usage this week with Rashee Rice ruled out ahead of the contest. The path to fantasy success will not be easy for Worthy facing the strong Seahawks defense. The Seattle defensive unit is one of the worst matchups for opposing wide receivers, but Worthy should see his fair share of designed targets. Despite the difficult matchup, Worthy is ranked WR37 in our RotoBaller Week 7 PPR rankings meaning he should find his way into lineups. Fantasy managers struggling with injuries and bye weeks should consider starting Worthy for as long as he is the WR1 of the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs.
