Inactive as expected Sunday
Worthy (illness) is inactive for Sunday's Week 18 matchup against the Raiders, Matt McMullen of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The second-year speedster was already carrying a doubtful tag into the weekend, so his inactive status is of little surprise. In Worthy's absence versus Las Vegas, veterans Hollywood Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster are set to operate as the top two wide-receiver targets for starting quarterback Chris Oladokun.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
At 5-11, 165 pounds, Worthy becomes one of the thinnest wide receivers in the NFL, with a lower BMI than even DeVonta Smith or new teammate Marquise Brown. Everything else screams upside, including Worthy's prolific college career, combine-record 40 time (4.21) and first-rate team context as part of the Reid/Mahomes show. The speed demon put up 68-981-12 as an 18-year-old true freshman at Texas, and while he had a modest sophomore slump (60-760-9), he bounced back with 75-1,015-5 last season as the target leader for a team that just had three other pass catchers taken in the 2024 NFL Draft. Those target numbers were perhaps inflated by a large number of designed touches on screen passes, but Worthy's comfort level there could end up being a good thing under a screen-happy coordinator like Reid. 2023 second-round pick Rashee Rice nearly broke 1,000 yards last year with a screen-heavy diet and 4.7 aDOT, and it now appears he could miss a portion of 2024 due to legal troubles. If not, the target competition in Kansas City admittedly looks stellar, featuring Rice, Worthy and Brown at wide receiver and Travis Kelce at tight end. Worthy's college production hints at a quick learning curve, whereas his size and age (he turned 21 in April) suggest that might not be the case.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chiefs' WR1 rest of season
Worthy is slated to operate as the Chiefs' top wide receiver for the final two games of the regular season after Rashee Rice was placed on injured reserve due to a concussion Wednesday, per ESPN.
ANALYSIS
Rice was unable to play against the Titans in Week 16 while in the league's concussion protocol, and the Chiefs' top wide receiver will miss the final two games of the regular season after being placed on IR. That leaves Worthy as the team's top wideout for Weeks 17 and 18, and while he was the WR1 against Tennessee, he was limited to just two catches on three targets for 41 yards in the loss. It's hard to trust Worthy, Travis Kelce or any of the other Chiefs pass catchers down the stretch given the absence of Patrick Mahomes, who tore his ACL against the Chargers in Week 15. With Gardner Minshew also sidelined, Worthy will be catching passes from fourth-year quarterback Chris Oladokun against the Broncos on Christmas Day, while Shane Buechele -- who was signed off the Bills' practice squad Monday -- serves as the backup.
