Super Bowl LIX: Xavier Worthy DFS Preview & Best Prop Bets
In this story:
This season, the Kansas City Chiefs’ passing game runs predominately through Travis Kelce and Xavier Worthy. After the top two options for Patrick Mahomes, there was a significant drop-off in the regular season which has carried over to the club’s two postseason games against Houston and Buffalo.
After owning a 17% target share in the regular season, Kansas City rookie wideout Xavier Worthy finished as the WR33 overall, averaging 11 PPR fantasy points per game.
In the playoffs, the former Texas Longhorns standout has quietly drawn the most targets (13), turning that volume into the most receptions (11) and second-most yards (130) among all Chiefs receiving options.

#Chiefs Rookie WR Xavier Worthy says he's continuing to prove people wrong.

“Just my mentality, I go out there just trying to prove everybody wrong,” said Worthy. “I was coming into the season doubted. Everybody said he’s not fit to be a big-time receiver, he’s too small, he’s injury prone. I feel like I proved everybody wrong, and I’m going to continue to prove everybody wrong.”
History has taught us that DFS success results from selecting players who are motivated to prove doubters wrong. It will clearly be “worth it” to employ Worthy in lineups.
