Who Should I Start? Xavier Worthy or Malik Nabers

Tuesday, September 30, 6:59 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy returned in Week 4 and immediately made an impact against the Ravens, posting 121 scrimmage yards on seven touches in his first game back from a dislocated shoulder. While some were worried about a potential reinjury, Worthy said postgame that once he took his first hit, he knew he was "good to go." With Rashee Rice suspended, Worthy delivered the best production of any Chiefs receiver despite playing only 59% of the snaps. He now draws a Week 5 matchup on Monday night against the Jaguars, who have surrendered the 10th-most fantasy points to wideouts this season. While Kansas City is expected to ease him back into full usage, Worthy profiles as a high-risk, high-reward WR2 option for Week 5.

The New York Giants officially placed wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) on Injured Reserve on Monday after he suffered a season-ending torn ACL in the Week 4 win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. It's a crushing blow to both the Giants and fantasy managers alike. Those in single-year leagues can safely drop Nabers to the waiver wire this week and add reinforcements. With the 22-year-old former first-rounder out the rest of the way, the G-Men will ask all of Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, and Jalin Hyatt to step up as their top three receivers for rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart. Tight end Theo Johnson should also see an uptick in targets in the passing game. Robinson should already be rostered in most leagues, but Slayton will be a popular pickup this week. Nabers will finish with 18 catches on 35 targets for 271 yards and two touchdowns in his second NFL season. Since the injury happened early in the year, Nabers should have a good chance at being ready to go for Week 1 of 2026 next fall.
