News: 2 days agoWorthy caught both of his targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 24-10 win over the Dolphins.

Spin: Worthy entered Sunday's game on the heels of a 5-25-1 performance (on seven targets) during the Chiefs' Week 2 overtime win over the Colts. He didn't see any targets in the red zone Sunday compared to the three he had against Indianapolis, though he did lead all Chiefs wide receivers with 43 offensive snaps. His speed makes him a boom-or-bust candidate every week, though Worthy and the Chiefs pass catchers could thrive in a Week 4 road tilt against the Raiders if Las Vegas' rookie safety Treydan Stukes (concussion) is unable to play.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: After impressing as a rookie with 101 touches and 12 touchdowns in 20 games (including the playoffs), Worthy had the look of an emerging star. Things didn't go as planned in Year 2, though, as the 2024 first-round pick was injured on his third snap of the season and wasn't productive or utilized as much as expected upon his return. Worthy was limited to one touchdown (Week 6) and reached 12 fantasy points once in 14 games (Week 4). The speedy Worthy is still only 23 years old, so a Year 3 breakout is certainly possible, especially with Rashee Rice and 36-year-old Travis Kelce as his only legit target competition. He's worth a late flier.
