This is a tricky one. A history of should injuries heightens the concern, but Xavier Worthy did in fact avoid a significant injury and still remains positioned to bounce back from an injury-riddled campaign that limited him to 7.9 Fantasy Points Per Game (No. 54). Armed with a 99th-percentile 40-yard dash time and an 18.4 Breakout Age (97th percentile), his underlying profile far exceeds his NFL production of 42 catches for 532 receiving yards.

 

A 12.9 Average Target Distance and 944 Air Yards across 14 games signal strong downfield usage, making him a prime buy-low target at a suppressed draft cost. Worthy will be a volatile weekly play and is the quintessential “better in best ball” player for fantasy football. Meanwhile, fellow field stretcher Tyquan Thornton waits in the wings.
