Week 6 fantasy rankings: Xavier Worthy ranked as 28th-best WR
According to the experts at ESPN, Kansas City Chiefs speedster Xavier Worthy ranks as the 28th-best wide receiver for fantasy football in Week 6.
ESPN analysts have ranked Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy as the 28th-best fantasy player for Week 6 of the 2026 NFL season. Having previously been secondary to veteran wideout Rashee Rice, Worthy now has a prime opportunity to become Kansas City's top receiver. For those considering starting Worthy this week, here are his predicted stats when facing the Los Angeles Chargers:
Xavier Worthy is expected to see more targets than usual, as veteran players Rashee Rice and Cooper Thornton will be absent. The former Texas Longhorn has been a reliable pass-catcher for the Chiefs since being drafted in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. He has yet to break 100 receiving yards in a single game, but fans may finally see that milestone this week.
Tight end Travis Kelce is likely to be Mahomes' primary target, but speedy Worthy could be poised for a breakout performance. If fantasy managers have been hesitating to start Worthy, now may be the perfect time to give him a chance. The analytics suggest he could surpass the 100-yard mark this week.
