Who Should I Start? Xavier Worthy or Travis Hunter

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy alluded to Kay Adams during an appearance on FanDuel TV's "Up and Adams" that the team may return to their once-signature explosive play style. "Coach Reid told us during OTAs Phase 1, 'When you come back, get your hamstrings ready,'" said the former Texas Longhorn. Once a high-flying offensive juggernaut, Kansas City has shifted to a more clock-control, defensive-oriented style of play. However, Worthy flashed his prowess as a deep threat during the team's playoff run, and an improved offensive line could push the Chiefs back to favor stretching the field more in 2025. He'll have third-year running mate, Rashee Rice, and veteran tight end Travis Kelce to contend with for targets, although it isn't a foregone conclusion that Rice and Worthy won't be a boon for each other as they operate in different roles. The 22-year-old garners some of the highest upside of the mid-round fantasy wideouts.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter is already making waves at his first NFL minicamp, and his teammates are taking notice. The former Colorado standout, known for his rare ability to play both wide receiver and cornerback, has impressed with his intensity and preparation. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence spoke highly of Hunter's early contributions, stating, "Travis has been great - just his work ethic, how he's come in. He's been one of the hardest-working guys we have." Lawrence also emphasized Hunter's commitment to mastering both sides of the playbook, adding, "I think it's commitment to learning the playbook and trying to learn the two systems." Hunter's historic Heisman campaign as a two-way player in college captivated the nation, but he'll face an even greater challenge in the NFL. Rookies often struggle to adjust to the pace and physical demands of the pro game, and Hunter's dual-role workload only adds to the difficulty. Still, his dedication and drive may give him a chance to defy the odds. As the Jaguars continue to rebuild, Hunter's versatility and mindset could be foundational pieces for the franchise's future success.
