Who Should I Start? Michael Pittman Jr. or Xavier Worthy

Monday, September 15, 8:39 PM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. turned in a modest outing in his team's 29-28 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 2. After an encouraging Week 1 that saw him catch six balls for 80 yards and a touchdown, Pittman caught four of his five targets for just 40 yards against the Broncos. Of course, Pittman had to contend with lockdown corner Patrick Surtain II for much of the afternoon, which may have led Daniel Jones to look elsewhere when he dropped back to pass. With a Week 3 road matchup against the Tennessee Titans, Pittman is likely to operate as a decent WR4 with upside moving forward.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (shoulder) remained in a limited capacity during Thursday's practice session. This was his second-straight limited practice. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his status on Friday as he could be cleared to return for their Week 3 match against the Giants. After suffering a torn labrum on the opening possession of their season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers, Worthy was able to progress rather quickly and may only miss one contest. Worthy was in the mix to return last weekend but carried a doubtful tag before being ruled inactive. If Worthy can turn the corner in time for Sunday, fantasy managers should expect him to slot in as Kansas City's WR1. If he were to miss his second-straight game, Marquise Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Tyquan Thornton would operate as the team's top wideouts.
