Minimal production again Sunday Worthy brought in one of four targets for 11 yards in the Chiefs' 16-14 win over the Broncos on Sunday.
Impact The speedy rookie once again struggled to get on the same page with Patrick Mahomes, leading to Worthy's second-lowest reception and receiving yardage totals. Worthy also briefly appeared to be dealing with an arm injury in the second half but remained in the game, and he could continue struggling to make an impact against a talented Bills defense in a Week 11 road battle.

Struggles mightily Monday Worthy failed to bring in either of his targets Monday, losing 10 yards on two rushing attempts in an overtime win over the Buccaneers.
Impact Worthy turned in a true negative fantasy performance after losing 10 yards on his only two touches Monday. The speedy rookie took a backseat to veteran DeAndre Hopkins (2-86-2), and that may be a trend that continues in the second half of the season following Kansas City's big trade in Week 8. Worthy is still a key part of the offense (as evident by his four attempted plays Monday), and should still be considered a flex option ahead of Sunday's tilt against Denver.

Impact Worthy did not record a rushing attempt for just the second time in eight games, but he did nab his third receiving touchdown of the season. The versatile rookie continues to be a fantasy asset with five combined scores halfway through the schedule. Worthy should be busy again in a potential high-scoring affair between the Chiefs and Buccaneers on Monday Night Football in Week 9.

Leads team with eight targets 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.
Impact Worthy continued to operate as the Chiefs' top wideout sans Rashee Rice (knee) in Week 7, churning out a similar stat line to his previous start Week 5. The 21-year-old Worthy was unable to hit pay dirt like he did against the Saints, but he did lead Kansas City in targets (eight) on a day when the ground game led the team to victory. The speedy wideout did exit Sunday's contest briefly to be evaluated in the medical tent, but he promptly returned to action and finished the contest without issue. Worthy carries fantasy value in his elevated role, with fantasy managers hoping for a big play or two against a rebuilding Raiders squad next Sunday.

Impact Worthy entered the night as the Chiefs' de facto No. 1 receiver due to Rashee Rice's (IR-knee) absence, but he watched Travis Kelce and JuJu Smith-Schuster command a bulk of Patrick Mahomes' attention. Worthy finished third in targets behind his two teammates, and he would have had a relatively uneventful night had it not been for his early fourth-quarter touchdown rush, his second score on the ground and fourth trip to the end zone overall. Worthy should work into a progressively larger role in coming games, and he'll next take aim at the talented but inconsistent 49ers defense in a Week 7 road Super Bowl rematch following a Week 6 bye.
