Xavier Worthy

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy caught just three balls for 19 yards in Sunday's win over the 49ers. QB Patrick Mahomes managed only 154 yards on 16-of-27 passing, with 0 TDs and 2 INTs. Worthy was one of just four Chiefs to catch more than one pass. Mahomes narrowly missed the rookie for what would have been a 71-yard TD on the second play of the third quarter, though. The QB not overthrowing Worthy on that one would have made the wideout's week look much different.

Smith-Schuster left Sunday's win over the 49ers with a right hamstring injury, and the wideout will miss at least one more contest with the issue. With the 27-year-old unavailable, it makes Xavier Worthy the top wide receiver in the passing attack, and should lead to more targets for players like Mecole Hardman and Skyy Moore.

Worthy led the team in targets but was once again not on the same page with Patrick Mahomes. JuJu Smith-Schuster's early exit from the game forced Worthy into a more prominent role. It didn't matter for the speedy rookie. If JuJu misses time with his hamstring injury, Worthy could regularly see a good number of targets along with Travis Kelce. Whether he can do anything with the opportunity is another question entirely. Worthy, who has not had more than three receptions in the game all season, will be a top-50 play in Week 8 against Vegas.

Worthy had three receptions (eight targets) for 19 yards and added one carry for five yards in Sunday's 28-18 win over San Francisco.

Patrick Mahomes and Kelce continue to not put up fantasy relevant numbers and it just doesn't matter for the Chiefs as they go for a Super Bowl three-peat. Kelce, who trailed Xavier Worthy in targets, nearly came down with a long reception in double coverage late in the game. Kelce's usually-gaudy target totals will be suppressed for as long as the Chiefs are a run-first offense. He'll still be a top-10 fantasy play in Week 8 against the Raiders.
