Ian Hartitz ranks Worthy WR38 with ADP at WR50 (pick 120), calling him a 'BIG fan' of his upside at the Round 10-11 turn. Worthy averaged 17.1 PPR points per game (WR15!) from Weeks 11-Super Bowl in his rookie year, though his aDOT decreased (11.9 vs. 7.5) when Rashee Rice returned. Andy Reid stated the Chiefs were 'afraid to do certain things' with Worthy after his shoulder injury but that 'him coming back healthy opens up that whole picture.' At just 23 years old, Worthy is the clear-cut No. 2 WR in Patrick Mahomes' offense and was the team's OTA MVP. Hartitz frames this as a bet on a first-round talent at a floor price, especially if Rice faces further legal issues.

Source transcript excerpt
Still just 23 years young, Worthy enters his third year as the clear-cut No. 2 WR in this Patrick Mahomes-led attack. The team's OTA MVP (!) worked as an upside WR2 the last time we saw him healthy for a two-month stretch. This really seems like a good opportunity to draft a first-round talent in a potentially great offense far closer to this floor than ceiling.
