BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3
ANALYSIS: Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy could have an increased role this weekend and should be viewed as a WR3 with upside.
The 21-year-old wasted little time in his NFL debut as he found the end zone twice in the season-opener. However, in Weeks 2 and 3, Worthy averaged just 4.6 PPR points with just two receptions in each game.
Last weekend, Worthy had a nice bounce-back performance as he found the end zone on an impressive 54-yard score.
What is Xavier Worthy’s fantasy value if Rashee misses the season?

In this game, No. 1 wideout Rashee Rice (knee) suffered a potentially serious knee injury and could be sidelined for a significant amount of time. As a result, Worthy now sits at the top of the depth chart and could get more consistent looks.
Given his elite speed, Worthy should be locked into all lineups as a WR3 with upside, as he could be in store for a drastic increase in targets.
