I don't have any faith left in Worthy. I understand he surpassed 70 receiving yards against the Raiders and Chargers' secondaries with Rice out, but with Rice in the lineup, he has been a ghost.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBust

Worthy is a fade with no faith from Derek Brown; ineffective with Rice in lineup.

When Rashee Rice is a full-time player, Worthy has 15.1% target share, 0.62 YPRR, six red zone targets, three deep targets, and 19.4% first-read share, failing to surpass 25 receiving yards in any of those four games. Derek Brown states 'I don't have any faith left in Worthy,' noting he surpassed 70 receiving yards only against the Raiders and Chargers when Rice was out. Against the Jets' 12th-highest single-high rate (54.5%) since Week 5, Worthy has 22% TPRR but only 0.88 YPRR. Brown concludes 'this might be asking too much of them to hoist up Worthy to a productive Week 9.' The Jets have allowed the 12th-most yards per target and fourth-most fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter wide receivers over their last five games.
