Xavier Worthy is capturing camp headlines, but he has been running routes in a no-contact jersey as he winds down his shoulder rehabilitation. Worthy’s 2025 season was ruined by that serious Week 1 should tear, which suppressed his weekly route participation and stalled out his production at 7.9 Fantasy Points Per Game, ranking No. 54 at the position.
With Andy Reid deploying him as a first-read passing game option and Rashee Rice facing a potential suspension, Worthy possesses a clear path to outperform his ninth-round ADP by elevating both this Target Share and Air Yards Share. Worthy is an excellent buy low in fantasy football both best ball and dynasty league formats.

The Kansas City Chiefs adjusted the market by committing $504.7 million to Patrick Mahomes through the 2033 season, moving his future salary to a record-setting $64 million per year starting next year. This contract mechanism effectively secures the massive pact for a player coming off an injury-shorted 2026 campaign.
Despite playing just 14-games last season, he posted a 111.6 Explosive Rating (No. 8) and finished as the overall QB2 in fantasy points per game, proving he remains the premier elite asset worth every penny of this historic half-billion-dollar valuation.
Looking ahead to 2026, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler followed up with a report that the Chiefs and QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) are “leaning into” the possibility that he plays in Week 1 against the Broncos. The deal is a reminder to buy the dip in dynasty as Mahomes will be in Kansas City for the at least seven more seasons.
Patrick Mahomes is working his way back from serious knee ligament tears that limited him to a career-low 3,587 passing yards last season. Despite the injury-shortened 14-game campaign, his high-efficiency traits remained intact as he still engineered an overall QB2 in Fantasy Points Per Game.
Mahomes’ mobility will nonetheless be compromised this season, lowering his rushing ceiling. Expect his visual progress in seven-on-seven work to keep him on track to avoid the PUP list and retain his premium status in summer drafts. Mahomes is strangely both a best ball fade and a dynasty buy given this year’s inevitable limitations.
Patrick Mahomes was spotted going through non-contact, opening OTA drills in a massive, robocop-style leg brace, and he told Chiefs media that he is working toward being cleared for full participation by time training camp. While Mahomes “races against the clock” for his age-31 season, the cold reality is that he’s recovering from catastrophic knee ligament tears that capped his 2025 campaign at a career-low 3,587 passing yards and a modest 22 passing touchdowns.
Bottom line: It is safe to expect that Mahomes will be back early in the season as he is already trending toward avoiding the PUP list, which is great news for Mahomes fantasy managers. If Mahomes isn’t cleared to suit up for the Week 1 opener, Andy Reid will gladly hand the keys to Justin Fields, a hyper-athletic Konami-code backup who offers fantasy upside.
You never go full Josh Gordon. According to court documents released on Tuesday, May 19, Rashee Rice was placed in custody to serve a 30-day jail sentence ending June 16 after testing positive for marijuana. This positive test violates his probation from previous felony highway racing charges, forcing him to miss upcoming organized team activities and mandatory mini-camp.
The NFL may reconsider its decision not to pursue further discipline. Rice’s latest intersection with law enforcement puts his 2026 season in jeopardy and will elevate teammate Xavier Worthy‘s fantasy value. Jalen Royals and Tyquan Thornton will also see a boost due to the Law of the Conservation of Targets.
The Kansas City Chiefs added a pocket passer at No. 249 in Garrett Nussmeier, who threw for 4,400 passing yards with a 31-to-9 TD-to-INT ratio. Nussmeier displayed 9.4 adjusted yards per attempt and a 68.2% completion percentage, at LSU where he was once considered a lock to go in the first round.
In dynasty Superflex formats, Nussmeier is the ultimate “stash and cash” taxi-squad priority, where he could start the season at QB2 behind Justin Fields if Patrick Mahomes is not ready to go to start the season September.
