BALLER MOVE: Start in 14-Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4
ANALYSIS: The 2024 outlook for Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy is a bit of a mystery, but with Marquise Brown set to miss Week 1, there's some fantasy upside for Worthy against Baltimore on Thursday night. He can be considered a risky WR4 play.
Worthy is an incredibly fast player who could explode on a moment's notice if quarterback Patrick Mahomes can build a rapport with him in the deep passing game, but he'll have to contend with the fact that opposing defenses usually work to eliminate the deep ball from Mahomes.

Fantasy managers can definitely play Worthy this week, but we won't really know much about his rest-of-season outlook until Brown is back in the fold and we know whether or not Rashee Rice will be hit with a suspension. He has upside this week, though.
