Who Should I Start? Parker Washington or Xavier Worthy

Sunday, November 2, 8:12 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington is likely to see an expanded role in the offense. Fellow wideout Travis Hunter (knee) recently landed on the injured reserve. That being said, Washington figures to have a larger role in the passing game going forward. Last week, Washington saw 10 targets during the loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He hauled in four of them for 52 yards, which was one of his better outings of the season. The 23-year-old figures to continue seeing a high volume of targets while Hunter is sidelined. Fantasy managers should be able to trust Washington as a flex option for the Week 9 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will take on the Buffalo Bills in Week 9. Worthy caught five passes for 53 yards in the 28-7 win over the Washington Commanders in Week 8. Last week marked Worthy's third game of the season with at least five receptions. With Rashee Rice stepping back into the WR1 role and Travis Kelce reemerging as a top option, the speedster may continue to be relegated to a tertiary role in the Kansas City offense. That said, Worthy was able to put up a decent stat line regardless of the blowout, and he may be able to build on that this week. Worthy and the Chiefs face the Bills, who have allowed the ninth-fewest points to opposing wide receivers this season. Even with his diminished workload, Worthy is still an explosive player and can break off a long play at any moment. Worthy is ranked WR28 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, placing him just outside WR2 but firmly in WR3/Flex territory this week.
