Worthy's top-36 projection hinges on Rice and Kelce's health and usage shift.
Xavier WorthyWR
Worthy is projected to finish as a top-36 WR. The source notes there's nothing concrete about Worthy's tape or metrics in his first two years that make them optimistic he'll turn into the next No. 1 receiver for Patrick Mahomes, but context matters: if Rashee Rice can't sprint at full speed in camp and if Travis Kelce isn't moving as well in his age-36 season, the bar for Worthy to factor into flex consideration drops considerably. Last year, Worthy's average depth of target increased from 8.9 yards to 12.9, and his screen targets per game dropped from 1.2 to 0.5, indicating a shift in usage.

There's nothing concrete about Worthy's tape or metrics in his first two years that make me optimistic that he will turn into the next No. 1 receiver for Patrick Mahomes, but the context of how Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce look this offseason is important. If Rice can't sprint at full speed in camp and if Kelce isn't moving as well in his age-36 season, then the bar for Worthy to factor into flex consideration drops considerably.
