Xavier Worthy, a Chiefs wideout, is noted for a potential return next week, pending shoulder status, with a chance to contribute if activated against the Giants.

Worthy is ruled out with a shoulder injury, removing a swift vertical option from KC’s arsenal. The absence may shift roles among other Chiefs pass-catchers and alter how quickly Mahomes looks to stretch the field. Fantasy implications center on who benefits from additional targets in the absence of Worthy.

Worthy downgraded to out for KC, opening targets for other Chiefs pass-catchers. Expect increases in opportunities for secondary receivers and tight ends as KC adjusts to the absence, with potential fantasy implications for the rest of the receiving corps.

Worthy inactive, further thinning Chiefs WR corps and elevating depth concerns at receiver.

Worthy’s return to practice signals a Week 3 activation for KC, potentially boosting the Chiefs’ ceiling and influencing Brown and JuJu’s targets in a high-profile game vs. the Giants.
