Who Should I Start? Xavier Worthy or Matthew Golden

Tuesday, November 11, 9:23 PM

Before his team's Week 10 bye, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy was struggling to be consistently productive. In his final three games before the bye, Worthy recorded 11 catches for 111 yards and zero touchdowns on 18 targets. For the season, the 22-year-old has hauled in just 24 receptions for 256 yards and one touchdown on 40 targets across seven games. Worthy appears to have taken a clear backseat to wide receiver Rashee Rice and tight end Travis Kelce in the Kansas City passing game. Worthy has also seen his red-zone usage decrease in 2025, after scoring nine touchdowns across 17 games as a rookie in 2024. The Chiefs will face a difficult matchup in Week 11 when they travel to Denver to take on the Broncos, so Worthy's struggles may continue coming out of the bye.

As expected, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder) is officially inactive for the Monday night game in Week 10 against the Philadelphia Eagles, the team announced. Golden was pushing to go in this one despite not practicing on Friday or Saturday. The rookie first-round pass-catcher's next chance to suit up will be in Week 11 on the road against the New York Giants. After being hyped up in the preseason and training camp, the 22-year-old Texas product has struggled for consistency in his first eight games in the NFL, catching 23 passes for 262 yards and no touchdowns on 29 targets. Staying relevant became even harder once Christian Watson returned from Injured Reserve, and that will be compounded once Jayden Reed (collarbone) is healthy down the stretch. Watson, Romeo Doubs, and Dontayvion Wicks should operate in starting three-wide sets on Monday against Philly.
