Xavier Worthy "Trending in the Right Direction," Officially Questionable

Friday, November 21, 3:17 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (ankle) is officially questionable to play in Week 12 against the Indianapolis Colts as he battles an ankle injury. However, Pete Sweeney of The Kansas City Star reports that "all indications this week were that (Worthy) is trending in the right direction." Worthy was able to practice in full on Friday after starting the week as a non-participant in practice. Across eight games this season, the 22-year-old has recorded 27 receptions for 281 yards and one touchdown on 45 targets. It's been a particular struggle of late for Worthy, as he's recorded at least five catches or 50 receiving yards just once in his last five games. If active against Indianapolis, Worthy profiles as a low-end fantasy WR3 in Week 12.

Matthew Golden News

Matthew Golden Listed as Questionable for Week 12

Friday, November 21, 6:33 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder, wrist) is considered questionable ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Golden was limited in practice throughout the week due to multiple injuries. The Packers injury report is loaded with injuries, but luckily Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, and Bo Melton were all cleared to play. Golden hasn't been much of a factor in the offense anyway, so his absence wouldn't be a huge blow to this offense. The 22-year-old hasn't finished with more than 37 receiving yards in a single game since Week 6. Golden is a risky flex choice for this weekend, assuming he's active.
