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.

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.
Following a standout 2024 rookie performance, Xavier Worthy’s 2025 production stalled at WR59 due to a Week 1 labrum tear that restricted his usage and route tree. Head coach Andy Reid reports that a now-healthy Worthy will return to a full workload this season, expanding his role within the Chiefs’ offense.
This insight and role shift significantly boosts Worthy’s fantasy outlook, making a return to WR3 status or higher a realistic possibility for the upcoming year, depending on Mahomes’ recovery timeline. Worthy is a sneaky post-hype sleeper in fantasy football dynasty leagues.
After being selected in the second round by the Patriots in 2022 NFL Draft, Tyquan Thornton is trending on missing out on a final roster spot. Thornton has been plagued with plenty of injuries that have limited him to 35 receptions for 338 yards, and two touchdowns over the past two seasons. Thornton was already an afterthought in the previous regime’s offense with only 91 yards receiving for the year.
Heading into the season, Thornton will be competing with rookies Ja’Lynn Polk and Javon Baker for hierarchy on the Patriots depth chart. With DeMario Douglas and JuJu Smith-Schuster locked in with a roster spot and the arrival of the previously mentioned rookies, Thornton is tumbling down the depth chart in a hurry. Dynasty managers should leave Thornton on the waiver wire or dropped if you still have him on your roster.
