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... as like a down-to-down wide receiver, I think he shows that 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... and then just four of 13 in their intermediate section of the field.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Underwhelmed by Worthy's performance as a down-to-down receiver despite his speed; he caught only 4 of 16 targets 20+ yards downfield last season and 4 of 13 in intermediate routes, suggesting cornerbacks play through his body easily due to his weight and size.
