Xavier Worthy

Since Week 9, Worthy has only one game as a top 36 fantasy wide receiver (WR20). He does have three red zone targets in his last six games. There's an avenue for Worthy to walk away from Week 15 with a nice game. The Browns have the third-highest single-high rate in the NFL (63.9%). Since Week 9, against single-high, Worthy has had a 14.6% target share, 1.50 YPRR, and a 13.6% first-read share. While none of those numbers jump off the page, during that stretch of games, Worthy has ranked second on the team in deep targets. Since Week 9, Cleveland has allowed the most deep passing yards per game and the ninth-highest CPOE to deep passing. If you need some upside at the flex position this week, Worthy could be your guy. Since Week 9, Cleveland has allowed the tenth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

Xavier Worthy caught five of his six targets for 41 yards and added a five-yard carry in a 19-17 win over the Chargers in Week 14.

Fantasy Impact

Worthy finished second in receiving yards behind only Travis Kelce in the close win on Sunday night. The rookie receiver has recorded at least four catches and 41 receiving yards in four straight games for the Chiefs. Worthy will be a WR3/flex option in fantasy in Week 15 against the Browns.
