Who Should I Start? Jayden Reed or Xavier Worthy

Friday, September 12, 2:34 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (collarbone) is scheduled for surgery early next week. The hope is that he will be able to return this season, with the team looking at November as a possible timeline. Reed broke his collarbone making a touchdown grab on a play that was negated by a holding penalty. The play came on the Packers' opening drive and was Reed's first look in a game that ultimately saw seven other Green Bay pass catchers targeted. On a day that saw Jordan Love throw for nearly 300 yards and two scores, only tight end Tucker Kraft looked like a reliable option moving forward, with Romeo Doubs' fantasy day kept afloat by an early touchdown. With Reed now sidelined until at least mid-season, the silver lining could be added clarity amongst the Packers' pass catchers, but until rookie Matthew Golden can demonstrate an established chemistry with Love, Kraft will remain the only weekly start.

The Kansas City Chiefs have officially downgraded wide receiver Xavier Worthy from doubtful to out for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. It's not surprising that Worthy will not be able to play in Week 2, considering he suffered a dislocated shoulder in Week 1. Without Worthy on the field, Kansas City will rely more heavily on wide receivers Marquise Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Tyquan Thornton. Brown profiles as a solid fantasy WR3/flex option on Sunday against Philadelphia.
