Who Should I Start? Xavier Worthy or Marvin Harrison Jr.

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.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. cleared the NFL's concussion protocol just in time to practice Friday and be removed from the injury report. He was only able to play in 23% of the team's snaps in Week 6, which led to just the two targets, two catches, and 32 yards. Week 7 carries uncertainty yet again as Kyler Murray (foot) remains questionable, with Jacoby Brissett waiting for the call to go under center. Harrison and Murray still haven't fully clicked, so having Brissett under center may not necessarily be a bad thing. The Green Bay Packers have given up at least one receiving touchdown in all but one of their games, so Harrison could find some room to break free, but they're around the middle of the league in terms of defending the pass. Harrison is a solid flex play, but his ceiling is a bit limited right now.
