With Skyy Moore and Kadarius Toney failing to show much development since joining the Chiefs, the team invested a first-round pick on Worthy. At 5-foot-11, 165 pounds, Worthy is a lithe target that offers elite speed, running the 40-yard dash in 4.21 seconds in the lead up to the draft. He's very much cut from the same cloth as Brown, which begs the question whether Kansas City views him as a replacement in 2025 or a complement this fall. It's also fair to wonder if they feel comfortable deploying two such undersized wideouts at the same time with any regularity.
Worthy's path for fantasy value this year isn't as clear as Rice or Brown, as he'll need to prove he's ready for more than just occasional snaps. Toney and Moore are still young enough to push for time here, and Justin Watson (27-460-3) was quietly solid last year -- Watson also stands 6-foot-2, and weighs 215 pounds, making him a more capable blocker. There's definite upside with Worthy based on his blazing speed and the presence of Mahomes, but don't consider him as more than a WR5.

Xavier Worthy arrested on felony domestic violence charge
Chiefs could have two WRs suspended in 2025
By: Mike Krueger | Sat Mar 8, 10:58 am
|  | Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy was arrested Friday night in Williamson County, Texas, on a charge of assault of a family or house member and impeding the breathing or circulation. The Chiefs said they were aware of Worthy's arrest and gathering information.
In Texas, impeding as family member's breathing or circulation is a third-degree felony and punishable by two to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. (ESPN)
FFToday's Take: The Chiefs are likely to be dealing with a suspension of Rashee Rice in 2025 due to his involvement in a multi-car wreck back in March of 2024. Who knows what kind of punishment Worthy will get from the league, but it's possible the Chiefs could be without their top two receivers for a portion of the upcoming season.
