Xavier Worthy vs. Chargers: Solid Flex Option with Expanding Opportunity
Xavier Worthy enters Week 6 fully healthy as a starting receiver for Kansas City. With Tyquan Thornton on injured reserve and fellow wideout Rashee Rice questionable due to a hamstring injury, Worthy is positioned for an expanded target share from Patrick Mahomes.
The 4-0 Chiefs host the winless Chargers as heavy 8-point favorites, which could foster a run-heavy second half. Still, coming off a seven-target, 70-yard performance in Week 4, Worthy holds high-ceiling appeal. Our weekly projection anticipates 3.6 receptions, 37 receiving yards, and 10.0 fantasy points, making him a high-upside Flex option worthy of starting in most leagues.

Chig Okonkwo at SF — Expanding Target Share in a Favorable Scoring Environment
Fully removed from the hamstring injury that sidelined him earlier, Okonkwo has reclaimed his starting role atop Washington's tight end depth chart. After drawing six targets for 60 yards last week, head coach Dan Quinn emphasized getting the athletic tight end back into the offensive flow. With wideout Stefon Diggs battling a hamstring issue, Okonkwo could see an expanded intermediate role.
Facing the undefeated 49ers on the road in a projected high-scoring environment should force Washington into a pass-heavy script. Our weekly projection expects around 7.1 fantasy points on roughly three catches for 30 yards. With minimal fantasy rostership, Okonkwo profiles as a sneaky streaming candidate or deep-league play with upside if target volume holds.
