Xavier Worthy

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy caught 4 of 5 targets for 61 yards in Sunday's loss to Buffalo. The rookie added his sixth TD of the season.

Worthy had four receptions (five targets) for 61 yards and a touchdown while rushing once for seven yards in Sunday's 30-21 loss to Buffalo.

All of Worthy's production came in the first half. The Chiefs featured him heavily on their first touchdown drive of the evening, as Worthy caught passes of 31 and 14 yards to set himself up for an eventual 10-yard touchdown. Worthy nearly hauled in another long pass on the following drive, but was unable to get both feet in bounds. Sunday marked Worthy's biggest game since Week four, and he's still competing with DeAndre Hopkins for targets. He conservatively projects as a WR3 in Week 12 against the Panthers.

After going for 8-86-2 in his second game with the Chiefs, Hopkins has totaled just seven receptions for 85 scoreless yards in his last two games. Hopkins' four targets tied with Travis Kelce and Samaje Perine for the second-most on the team, while Xavier Worthy and Noah Gray tied for the team lead with five targets. The splash games will be sporadic for Hopkins in this offense, which makes him difficult to profile as anything more than a WR3 in Week 12 against the Panthers.

The Chiefs, inevitably, weren't going to keep "getting away with it," but the question was who would stop them. The Bills set the tone early, picking off Mahomes on the second play of the game. Mahomes got the Bills on the board in the second quarter when he found Xavier Worthy for a 10-yard touchdown, and added a second touchdown before halftime on a two-yard pass to Noah Gray. Mahomes and Gray would link up again on a short touchdown in the fourth quarter, but the Chiefs were unable to keep pace with Josh Allen and the Bills, who have scored 30-plus points in four-straight games. The Chiefs, on the other hand, have hit that total only once this season. Mahomes and the Chiefs get an easy bounce-back game in Week 12 against the Panthers. A positive game-script could yield underwhelming fantasy results for Mahomes, who could profile as a fringe QB1/QB2 next week.
