Outlook Xavier Worthy
Exploding ADP and Coach Optimism Set Stage for a Year Three Breakout in Kansas City
Worthy enters the season locked in as a starting wide receiver alongside Rashee Rice and veteran tight end Travis Kelce. Although Worthy suffered a slight sophomore slump in 2025 with 46 receptions for 591 yards, head coach Andy Reid remains highly optimistic about unlocking his unique deep-threat capabilities in Patrick Mahomes' passing game.
Analyzing his market value, Worthyβs ADP has steadily climbed from 137 in mid-May to 121 in early June. Fantasy managers are buying into his upside in 1.0 PPR leagues. Our projections view his shifting price as a strong value opportunity, especially with his role as a primary perimeter threat solidified.
Our models project Worthy to bounce back with 55 receptions, 730 receiving yards, and three touchdowns on 89 targets. This projection makes him an intriguing mid-round option who offers elite weekly ceiling potential if he can recapture his rookie-year scoring efficiency.

Outlook Jerome Ford
Buried on the Depth Chart, Former Cleveland Starter Becomes a Late-Round Fantasy Afterthought
Now in Washington, Jerome Ford faces an uphill battle for fantasy relevance. He sits third on the depth chart behind Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Rachaad White, leaving him with a limited path to touches. Our models project him for just 38 carries and 8 receptions this year, cementing his status as a deep reserve.
Reflecting this crowded backfield, Ford is currently rostered in just 11% of leagues. Fantasy managers are treating him as a deep-league stash who requires an injury to those ahead of him to gain value. The drop-off from his productive 2023 campaign in Cleveland makes him difficult to trust in standard formats.
This cooling sentiment is evident in draft circles. Ford's ADP has plummeted from the mid-300s in early May to past pick 600 in June. The market has correctly identified him as a fading asset in PPR formats, making him nothing more than a final-round flier to handcuff Washington's backfield.
