Xavier Worthy Fantasy Football Outlook (2026)

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Aug 13th 2026, 11:33am EDT

I had zero interest in drafting Xavier Worthy for fantasy purposes last year, and I don't have any in 2026. Last year, he finished as the WR54 in fantasy points per game with only one week as a top-24 wide receiver in weekly scoring. Last year, after returning from a shoulder injury (Weeks 4-17), he only had a 15.8% target share, 1.40 yards per route run, 40.9 receiving yards per game, a 19.5% first-read share, 0.058 first downs per route run, and 8.5 PPR points per game (per Fantasy Points Data). I'll happily avoid Worthy in drafts again this year. If it burns me, it burns me (I don't think it will).
