Three veterans produced high volume in Week 4
Chris Godwin: Godwin drew 10 targets this week, catching 3 for 26 yards. This marked his first start after missing the first three weeks while recovering from an ankle dislocation he suffered last October. With teammate Mike Evans expected to miss multiple games, Godwin should continue to see plenty of volume moving forward.
Xavier Worthy: Worthy saw 8 targets, catching 5 for 83 yards in his return to the lineup. This was Worthy’s first action since being injured in the first quarter of Week 1 against the Chargers, a shoulder injury sustained after colliding with teammate Travis Kelce. With Rashee Rice still serving his suspension and not eligible to return until Week 7, Worthy is expected to continue as the Chiefs’ WR1 in the meantime
Jordan Addison: Addison made the most of his season debut, catching 4 of 8 targets for 114 yards. This was his first action of the season after serving a three-game suspension. He is expected to continue seeing plenty of volume as the Vikings’ WR2 behind Justin Jefferson.
Trey McBride Leads TEs With 11 Week 4 Targets
Trey McBride had his highest-volume game of the season, with 11 targets, catching 7 for 52 yards. His performance earned him 12.2 fantasy points, making him the second-highest-scoring tight end this season with 53.4 total fantasy points.
