Chiefs' injury-riddled season hits new low with 26-9 loss to Titans

The Kansas City Chiefs have faced a tough season, marked by injuries and a recent 26-9 loss to the Tennessee Titans

3 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Just two catches Sunday Worthy caught two of three targets for 41 yards and gained zero yards on his only carry in Sunday's 26-9 loss to the Titans.

Impact Even with Rashee Rice (concussion) unavailable, Worthy didn't see an increase in his target volume, although it's easy to see why -- third-string QB Chris Oladokun wound up under center for most of the game after Gardner Minshew (knee) joined Patrick Mahomes (knee) on the sidelines. Worthy has gone seven straight games without catching more than four passes and nine straight without getting into the end zone, managing just a 29-387-0 line on 48 targets over that latter stretch. With Minshew also feared to have suffered a season-ending ACL tear, the entire Kansas City passing attack will have a significantly lowered floor and ceiling heading into a Week 17 meeting with the Broncos.

Chiefs face uncertain future as Patrick Mahomes has ACL surgery

The Kansas City Chiefs face the rest of the season without Patrick Mahomes, who had surgery Monday night to repair a torn ACL

DECEMBER 15 • Associated Press

Two catches in Week 15 loss Worthy caught two passes on four targets for 35 yards during the Chiefs' 16-13 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

Impact Worthy briefly left Sunday's game to be evaluated for a possible concussion, but the second-year wideout was cleared to return after being checked on by medical staff. One of his catches went for 26 yards late in the second quarter, which eventually led to Harrison Butker 47-yard field goal. Of concern for Worthy and the Chiefs' offense is that Patrick Mahomes tore his ACL late in the fourth quarter, which means Gardner Minshew is slated to start in the final three games of the regular season, beginning with Week 16 against the Titans on Sunday, Dec. 21. The fantasy floors of Worthy and the rest of Kansas City's pass catchers are all considerably lower with Mahomes out for the year.

DECEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Back in Sunday's game Worthy (head) returned to Sunday's game against the Chargers, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Worthy exited the contest to be evaluated for a possible concussion, but subsequently cleared concussion protocol. In the process, he'll rejoin a Week 15 WR corps that also includes Rashee Rice, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Tyquan Thornton, Nikko Remigio and Jalen Royals.

Impact Prior to leaving the game, Worthy did not record a catch. While he's sidelined, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Tyquan Thornton, Nikko Remigio and Jalen Royals are candidates to see added snaps alongside top WR Rashee Rice.

Leading receiver on three catches Worthy brought in three of four targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Texans.

Impact Worthy finished as the Chiefs' leading receiver despite ranking third in targets behind TE Travis Kelce and WR Rashee Rice. The 22-year-old Worthy was the only starter to generate any kind of a downfield threat against Houston's stout defense. The versatile wideout did not record a rushing attempt for the third time over his last four appearances. He has, however, eclipsed 50 receiving yards in three consecutive contests, providing a solid floor for fantasy managers in deeper formats. Worthy's upside lies in his ability to rip off huge gains, and the same could be said for next Sunday's tilt against the Chargers.

Four grabs in Thanksgiving loss Worthy caught four of six targets for 61 yards in Thursday's 31-28 loss to the Cowboys. He added 13 rushing yards on two carries.

Impact Most of the damage came on a 42-yard reception late in the fourth quarter that helped set up Kansas City's final score of the day. Worthy's 61 receiving yards were his highest total since Week 4, and he's gone six straight games without getting into the end zone, posting a 22-256-0 line on 37 targets over that stretch while chipping in another 33 rushing yards. The second-year speedster seems unlikely to break out in Week 14 against the Texans.

No limitations in practice Tuesday Worthy (ankle) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.

Impact The Chiefs estimated Worthy as a limited participant on their initial Week 13 practice report issued Monday, but the second-year wideout took every rep Tuesday to put to rest any doubt about his availability for Thursday's game against the Cowboys. Since Rashee Rice made his season debut Week 7 and stepped in as the Chiefs' clear No. 1 wideout, Worthy hasn't seen his involvement taper off much but is nonetheless struggling to deliver useful fantasy production. In the Chiefs' ensuing five games, Worthy hasn't recorded a touchdown and hasn't eclipsed 60 yards from scrimmage in any contest.

NOVEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Limited on Monday's estimate Worthy (ankle) was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate.

Impact Worthy continues to manage an ankle issue, but the wideout was able to log a 77 percent snap share in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win over the Colts, while catching four of his eight targets for 59 yards in the contest. With no reported setbacks, his listed limitations Monday were presumably maintenance-related. Worthy now has two more chances to log a full practice listing before Kansas City's Week 13 injury designations are posted ahead of Thursday's game against the Cowboys.

More involved in OT win Worthy caught four of eight targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win over the Colts.

Impact The receptions and yardage total were his best showing since Week 8, while the target volume was Worthy's highest since Week 5. The second-year speedster has gone five straight games without getting into the end zone, managing just an 18-195-0 line on 31 targets over that span, but Worthy will get a chance to break out against a shaky secondary in Week 13 during a Thanksgiving tilt against the Cowboys.
