Who Should I Start? Jerry Jeudy or Xavier Worthy

Friday, October 24, 8:37 PM

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (knee) has practiced on a limited basis on Thursday and Friday after missing practice on Wednesday. He is officially listed as questionable with a knee injury heading into a Week 8 road matchup against the New England Patriots. If he ultimately ends up playing, Jeudy will look to break a season-long cold streak as he has yet to go over 51 receiving yards since Week 1. The Patriots have struggled against receivers this season, allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to the position. If Jeudy ends up playing, he would settle in as a low-end WR4 in fantasy leagues. If he sits, look for Isaiah Bond, Jamari Thrash, and maybe even Malachi Corley to see extra opportunities for the Cleveland passing offense.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will face the Washington Commanders on Monday night in Week 8. Worthy was listed on the injury report with shoulder and ankle injuries, but practiced fully all week and does not have an injury designation ahead of this week's contest. Worthy had a pedestrian performance in Week 7, catching three passes for 35 yards in the 31-0 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. With the return of Rashee Rice from suspension in Week 7, Worthy was relegated to a more complementary role in the offense. Worthy's production moving forward will likely be sporadic, given that he was one of five Chiefs to catch at least three passes in last week's contest. The speedy wideout is more of a downfield winner with the ability to produce big plays, but his fantasy production could be lacking if he doesn't hit on one of those plays. Worthy will look to break off an explosive play this week against the Commanders, who have allowed the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Worthy is ranked WR21 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a viable WR2 option during a week with six teams on bye.
