Rashee Rice returned this past Sunday, and while Worthy saw six targets, he once again did nothing with them, catching three passes for 11 yards. In his first game back, Rice easily led the Chiefs with a 26% TPRR. And since 2024, Worthy's TPRR is only 14% with Rice on the field.

Worthy's ceiling collapsed with Rice back; only 14% TPRR vs. 23% when Rice was out.

Worthy is not a must-drop but is droppable if no other options exist. Rashee Rice's return has severely limited Worthy's role: he caught three passes for 11 yards on six targets in Rice's first game back and has failed to reach 15 receiving yards in each of his last two games, staying below 30 yards in 5 of 7 games. Rice led the Chiefs with a 26% target route participation rate in his return game. Critically, Worthy's TPRR is only 14% with Rice on the field since 2024, compared to 23% when Rice was sidelined from Weeks 4-7, indicating he lacks meaningful fantasy upside in Rice's presence.
