Xavier Worthy vs NYJ — Volatile flex option in a favorable home matchup
Operating as a starting outside receiver in Kansas City's offense, Worthy has seen steady volume with 12 targets across his last two games, though he managed just 24 total yards. With Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce both limited in practice this week, Worthy could see an expanded share if either pass-catcher is compromised against the Jets.
Our weekly projection slots him at 9.6 fantasy points on roughly 3.5 catches for 39 receiving yards. Fantasy manager trust has plummeted with his start rate dropping to 19%, leaving him as a boom-or-bust flex play who needs a broken tackle or deep shot to pay off.

Treylon Burks vs. Rams — Foot injury clouds a surging role in Washington
Burks has carved out an expanded role in Washington's passing attack following Terry McLaurin's season-ending injury, notably posting 81 yards on five targets last week. However, he enters Week 9 listed as questionable after missing Wednesday's practice with a foot issue, making it crucial to check back often for final active status before kickoff.
Rostered in 18% of leagues, Burks has momentum, but our weekly projection expects a modest 2.1 catches for 31 yards and 6.7 fantasy points in an expected high-scoring home matchup. If active, his big-play ability offers upside, but the foot issue and rotational volume keep him as a speculative deep-league play.
