Who Should I Start? Tank Dell or Xavier Worthy

Friday, November 22, 6:12 PM

The Tennessee Titans present a difficult matchup for Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell in their first meeting of the season in Week 12. The Titans' brutal offense has dragged down the team's record, but their defense ranks an impressive second overall against fantasy wide receivers through 11 weeks. That presents a complicated decision for fantasy managers who roster the second-year Texan, who is once again playing second fiddle to teammate Nico Collins and dependent on a shaky Houston offensive line that has struggled to limit sacks at times. Dell is averaging 8.3 targets over his past three games, but the risk involved with the Week 12 matchup relegates him to a WR3/Flex play.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will face the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. Worthy had one of his more productive games last week in the 21-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The rookie receiver was heavily involved in the game plan for the beginning of the game, catching four passes for 61 yards and a touchdown. Worthy did not have another catch for the rest of the game despite his early involvement. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes publicly stated that he needs to do a better job connecting with Worthy on deep passes since the young receiver is getting open. There will likely be an effort to push the ball downfield to Worthy in this contest since the Panthers are a beatable opponent. The Panthers rank 12th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season, but that is simply because teams do not need to pass against the Panthers to win games. The 21-year-old is ranked WR36 in our RotoBaller half-PPR rankings this week, making him a WR3/flex option in this contest. Fantasy managers dealing with bye weeks should have no issues finding a spot for Worthy in their starting lineups.
