Bounce-back candidate as KC WR2 behind Rice; volume-based upside if shoulder holds, capped confidence due to new camp sprain and Mahomes ACL return.

Worthy left camp practice with a shoulder injury believed to be OK per Ian Rapoport; not expected to miss start of season.

Strengths & concerns
Pros / cons +

Pros

  • Elite speed/deep-threat profile, expanded role on screens and crossing routes per camp reports
  • Labrum surgically repaired in the offseason -- long-term durability improved
  • TD regression candidate after scoring just 1 TD on meaningful target volume in 2025
  • Clear No. 2 role in a Reid/Bieniemy passing game behind only Rice and Kelce

Cons

  • New shoulder sprain in camp (Aug 1 2026), same shoulder as 2025 injury -- recurring durability concern
  • Target competition from Rice and Kelce caps target share
  • Mahomes coming off ACL/LCL tear, offense trending run-heavy with Kenneth Walker added
  • New OC (Bieniemy) and unproven 2026 scheme fit
Why our rank differs from ADP
disagree lower

A new sprain in the surgically-repaired shoulder, plus a run-heavier offense around a post-ACL Mahomes.

Full breakdown +

We rank Worthy 132nd (PPR) vs a consensus ADP of 109. The August sprain is in the same shoulder he had repaired in January, Rice and Kelce cap the target share, and KC is trending run-heavy with Kenneth Walker added while Mahomes returns from the ACL. The bounce-back case needs health he has not shown yet.
