News: 2 days agoWorthy (shoulder) failed to bring in his only target in the Chiefs' 9-9 preseason tie with the Seahawks on Friday.

Spin: The speedster made his preseason debut after overcoming a shoulder sprain that had plagued him for multiple weeks. Now apparently healthy, Worthy heads into his third season looking to build on the promise of his 2024 rookie campaign -- when he posted a 59-638-6 line across 17 regular-season games -- and atone for a lackluster 2025 season when he made just one trip to the end zone on 42 catches and missed three games.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: After impressing as a rookie with 101 touches and 12 touchdowns in 20 games (including the playoffs), Worthy had the look of an emerging star. Things didn't go as planned in Year 2, though, as the 2024 first-round pick was injured on his third snap of the season and wasn't productive or utilized as much as expected upon his return. Worthy was limited to one touchdown (Week 6) and reached 12 fantasy points once in 14 games (Week 4). The speedy Worthy is still only 23 years old, so a Year 3 breakout is certainly possible, especially with Rashee Rice and 36-year-old Travis Kelce as his only legit target competition. He's worth a late flier.
