- : Xavier Worthy: Listed Out (Hamstring) (Sleeper injury feed)
Start Xavier Worthy: 89 percent of the snaps and 19 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Cyrus Allen's 31 percent of the snaps and 7 percent of the targets. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

The gap
- Board size305 draftable players
Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.
Where the draft room stands
Live drafts hold no current pick on Xavier Worthy, and the board ranks him 105th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Cyrus Allen, and the board ranks him 212th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Xavier Worthy is 2.1 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
No season market is posted for Cyrus Allen, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.

Through Week 9, Xavier Worthy has been on the field for 84 percent of KC snaps, drawn 19 percent of the targets and had 10 percent of the red zone chances.

Their 2025 seasons
