Xavier Worthy Off Injury Report, Will Act As Chiefs WR1 In Week 17
47 mins agoKansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy is off the injury report and will be ready to face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17. Worthy was listed on the injury report with an ankle injury but practiced fully all week and has been removed from the report ahead of this week's contest. Worthy has been acting as the Chiefs WR1 the last two weeks, and fantasy production has followed. The rookie caught seven passes for 65 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets in Week 16 against the Texans. Worthy has received 11 targets and found the endzone in back-to-back games. The Chiefs have decided to lean on Worthy as their leading pass catcher despite the presence of DeAndre Hopkins, Travis Kelce, and Marquise Brown. The 21-year-old will look to continue his production against the Steelers, who rank ninth in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. Worthy is ranked WR40 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week despite his recent production. Worthy should offer fantasy managers a solid floor despite the difficult matchup.
