Xavier Worthy News
Tuesday, July 7, 10:22 AM
After a promising rookie season in 2024, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy saw his production stagnate in a disappointing 2025 campaign. Across 14 games, Worthy recorded 42 catches for 532 yards and one touchdown on 73 targets. Entering 2026, Worthy profiles as the Chiefs' WR2 behind only the highly unreliable Rashee Rice (knee), who is currently recovering from knee surgery and may be facing another league suspension. If Worthy takes a step forward in his age-23 season, he could emerge as the go-to weapon for Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. However, Worthy was unable to establish himself last season, when Rice missed nine games. Worthy has explosive speed, but he's averaged a highly underwhelming 1.25 yards per route run for his NFL career to this point. He certainly has upside, but Worthy may be overvalued as the 48th wide receiver off the board by current redraft ADP.

Marvin Harrison Jr. News
Friday, June 26, 12:23 PM
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. struggled with both injuries and inconsistency in 2025, finishing the year with just 41 receptions for 608 yards and four touchdowns on 73 targets across 12 games. The 23-year-old has flashed upside as a ball-winner and a red zone threat, but he's largely failed to live up to the prospect hype that led to him being the fourth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Entering 2026, Harrison Jr. is definitely behind star Cardinals tight end Trey McBride on the team's target pecking order and may even have slipped behind fellow wideout Michael Wilson. However, Harrison Jr. will have a chance to work with a new coaching staff this season, which could be the fresh start he needs. Harrison Jr. is reportedly still recovering from the myriad injury issues that forced him to miss five games last season, but he should be ready to go for the start of 2026. Given that he's fallen all the way down the low-end WR3 range by redraft ADP, Harrison Jr. may be an ideal buy-low candidate for fantasy managers.
