Xavier Worthy Rest-of-Season Outlook
Downfield depth WR for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished WR59 last season at 7.9 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's WR55 at 7.4 PPR points per game, against 7.9 over 14 games last season (WR59). The role is producing the same fantasy output two years running.
Last season he ranked 52nd of 142 in target volume (13.3% target share), 45th of 142 in downfield role (20.8% air-yards share) and 76th of 142 in efficiency (1.40 yards per route run). His points come from his downfield role. Efficiency is the soft spot. Patrick Mahomes is his quarterback.
The main risk is the job itself. He's the listed starter with Nikko Remigio next on the depth chart, and a benching or an injury would take his value to zero overnight.
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Worthy’s sophomore season slid the wrong way: 14 games, a 70.6 percent snap share and 379 routes produced 73 targets, 42 catches, 532 yards and just one touchdown, landing him WR56 with 67.9 fantasy points. That trails his rookie 2024 (98 targets, 638 yards, six scores, WR48, 128.2 points) almost entirely on touchdown regression—his 13.3 percent target share and 0.345 WOPR held a strong route role, and his 0.203 EPA per play matched rookie efficiency. His 1.4 percent drop rate was a major cleanup from a shaky 7.1 percent in 2024.
The underlying usage is encouraging for a 22-year-old: a 20.8 percent air-yards share and 12.93 air yards per target confirm a real downfield role. The lone touchdown is the obvious bounce-back lever, and first-round draft capital signals continued investment. Treat the down year as a buy-low window: Worthy is a WR3 with WR2 upside if scoring regresses toward his volume, a mid-round pick rather than a fade.

Xavier Worthy Fantasy Outlook FAQ
What is Xavier Worthy's fantasy outlook for the rest of the 2026 season?
Xavier Worthy projects as a downfield depth WR for deep leagues only for the rest of the 2026 season: waiver-wire material in 12-team PPR, 10-team PPR and half-PPR leagues. His downfield role (20.8% air-yards share, 45th of 142 WRs in 2025) supports that. His efficiency (1.40 yards per route run, 76th of 142 WRs in 2025) holds him back. See his live rank in Redraft Command.
What is Xavier Worthy's rest-of-season fantasy ranking?
Xavier Worthy is the WR55 in PPR points per game through Week 4. That puts him in depth WR territory, waiver-wire material in 10-team PPR leagues.
What is Xavier Worthy's projected role going forward?
Xavier Worthy is the listed starting WR, with Nikko Remigio next on the depth chart. Nothing on the chart threatens the job, so the role is his to lose on performance.
Will Xavier Worthy get more targets?
Xavier Worthy's targets are holding steady: 4.5 a game over his last two games against 5.0 for the season. His share of the offense is what his fantasy value rides on.
What is Xavier Worthy's fantasy football upside?
Xavier Worthy's upside: his ceiling this season is 13.5 PPR points (Week 2, WR22) and his downfield role (20.8% air-yards share, 45th of 142 WRs in 2025) gives him a weekly floor to build on.
What could hurt Xavier Worthy's fantasy value?
Xavier Worthy's risks: Nikko Remigio is next on the depth chart if he is benched or hurt, his efficiency (1.40 yards per route run, 76th of 142 WRs in 2025) limits his scoring and the Raiders in Week 4 and the Seahawks in Week 7 are tough matchups. See his injury status and history.
How difficult is Xavier Worthy's remaining fantasy schedule?
Difficult: of his next seven games, 2 come against a top-10 matchup for WRs and 3 against one of the stingiest defenses, by PPR points allowed to the position.

Ankle Played through
Slipped on a route and limped off the field, but returned to the game after halftime.

Hamstring Played through
Tweaked his hamstring during OTAs and was held out of June minicamp as a precaution.
If Worthy Misses Time
Next man up: Nikko Remigio
Nikko Remigio is next on the Chiefs depth chart at wide receiver. The targets would likely spread across the offense rather than pass to one player, so he's a waiver add only if Worthy misses time.
Who else it affects
His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Patrick Mahomes would lose one of his main options.
