Who Should I Start? Jayden Reed or Xavier Worthy

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (shoulder, foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Chicago Bears, according to the team's official website. Reed was a limited participant every day in practice for the second consecutive week, and it's still unclear if the 25-year-old wideout will be able to return from Injured Reserve on Sunday. The 2023 second-rounder suffered a fractured collarbone in Week 2 versus the Washington Commanders while also dealing with a Jones fracture in his foot that he entered the season managing. Upon returning, Reed will deal with plenty of target competition with Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson both having strong seasons, and he'll likely be on a pitch count in his first game back. He should be viewed as a touchdown-dependent, low-end WR3/flex in the Packers' passing attack if he is able to return in Week 14.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy has often taken a backseat to Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce this season, but this week, he will also have to contend with one of the toughest defenses in the league. Worthy caught four passes for 61 yards and rushed twice for 13 yards in last week's Thanksgiving loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The speedy wideout finished second on the team in receiving yardage, but it should be tougher sledding this week against Houston. The Texans defense has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season, which does not bode well for Worthy, given his lower target share. Worthy is ranked WR40 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a deeper league flex option in Week 14.
