Xavier Worthy

Brown practiced in full throughout the week and will now make his Chiefs debut on Saturday versus the Texans. The Chiefs will ease Brown back into the lineup, keeping him off the fantasy radar for Week 16. However, his return makes already thin bets in Xavier Worthy and DeAndre Hopkins that much worse for fantasy purposes. Hopkins has been a part-time player since joining the Chiefs and now there's even more of a threat to his routes. Xavier Worthy, on the other hand, runs all of the routes but rarely sees WR1 usage. His 11-target outing in Week 15 will keep him in the WR3 ranks for Saturday's matchup with Houston.

Worthy brought in six of 11 targets for 46 yards and rushed three times for 30 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 21-7 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Amazingly, Worthy's six catches were a new season high. The same is true of the rushing yardage, though the ground score was his third. Worthy took a short swing pass then got the edge for a 21-yard score at the 12:59 mark of the third quarter. That would end up the Chiefs' final score, but not their final notable play on offense. That would be Patrick Mahomes' ankle injury, one that has him questionable for Saturday's short-week matchup with the Texans. Even if Mahomes goes, Worthy still isn't doing enough to crack the top 36 in fantasy.

Chiefs RBs Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt had a true 50/50 backfield split with both having 13 carries and one catch in the game. Pacheco totaled 47 yards, while Hunt had 49 yards. Neither had a TD as Xavier Worthy had the only rushing TD for the Chiefs in the game.

Chiefs WR DeAndre Hopkins drew a team-high 9 targets in Sunday night's win over the Chargers and snagged the team's only TD. But he trailed rookie WR Xavier Worthy in routes, receptions, and receiving yards in a modest passing performance for the team.
