Routes not restored post-shoulder injury; Kenneth Walker limits gadget TDs.
Xavier WorthyWRKC
Ian Hartitz is drafting Xavier Worthy later than ADP due to Andy Reid's offseason note that the Chiefs didn't restore Worthy's lower ADOT routes after his early-season dislocated shoulder injury. Those routes were part of Worthy's workload during the playoff run and Super Bowl loss to Philadelphia (without Rasheed Rice). While Hartitz expects Worthy to reclaim most of that volume, Kenneth Walker's addition inside the 10-yard line may further limit Worthy's gadget touchdown opportunities.
