In the Week 1 clash against the Los Angeles Chargers, Kansas City Chiefs' wide receiver Xavier Worthy is set to play a pivotal role, especially with Rashee Rice suspended. Cleared from concussion protocol, Worthy is expected to be a key vertical threat for Patrick Mahomes, capitalizing on his speed to stretch the field. Historically, Worthy has averaged 46.5 receiving yards over two recent games against the Chargers, who employ aggressive press-man coverage with a single-high safety under defensive coordinator Jesse Minter. This presents a challenge, but also an opportunity, as Worthy has excelled against such schemes with a 63.6% catch rate and 11.49 yards per catch. Projected for 8.579 fantasy points (WR26), Worthy is a WR3/Flex with moderate-confidence, poised to exploit gaps in coverage.
