Yahoo Fantasy Football - Josh & Hayden on Xavier Worthy

VideoOur 6 Favorite Fantasy Football WR SleepersCaptured July 19, 2026

From the video

I've been really underwhelmed by Xavier Worthy since he's been in the NFL. just because you're the fastest receiver out there doesn't mean you're the best vertical player out there. He caught four of 16 targets 20 plus yards down the field last season. uh during his rookie year he caught seven of 21 20 plus yards on the field

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Worthy has been underwhelming as a down-to-down WR despite his speed; he caught only 4 of 16 targets 20+ yards downfield last season versus 7 of 21 in his rookie year, suggesting cornerbacks play through his body easily due to his size.
