Xavier Worthy vs. Chargers — Expanded Target Volume Ahead in AFC West Clash
Worthy enters Week 6 healthy and operating as a starting perimeter receiver for Kansas City. With Rashee Rice recently ruled out due to injury, Worthy should absorb a meaningful share of looks from Patrick Mahomes alongside veteran tight end Travis Kelce against an 0–5 Chargers defense.
Fantasy managers have increasingly trusted him, driving his start rate up to 47%. Building on a recent seven-target, 70-yard performance, our models project Worthy for roughly four catches, 50 receiving yards, and 11.9 fantasy points. His speed gives him weekly ceiling, positioning him as an appealing Flex starter.

DeVonta Smith vs. Panthers — Returns to Lead Shorthanded Passing Attack
After missing time with a hamstring injury, Smith was cleared of all injury designations and returns to lead Philadelphia's receiving corps. With starting quarterback Jalen Hurts sidelined and Saquon Barkley ruled out, Smith immediately steps in as the top target for backup passer Tanner McKee.
While the quarterback downgrade limits offensive upside, Smith should see heavy volume. Our weekly projection forecasts roughly 5 receptions on 7 targets for 62 yards, providing a reliable baseline. Fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats as a dependable starter.
