Outlook Seth McGowan

Seth McGowan vs. Dallas — Handcuff Option With Limited Standalone Value

Seth McGowan has settled into the primary backup role behind Jonathan Taylor in Indianapolis, handling 16 carries over his last two games. While his roster percentage has climbed above 50% as managers secure premium backfield insurance, his minimal 2% start rate mirrors his secondary involvement.

In a matchup with shootout potential against the Cowboys, our models project McGowan for roughly 7 carries and 32 rushing yards (4.5 fantasy points). Without an injury to Taylor or substantial garbage-time work, he does not offer reliable standalone flex value and should remain sidelined.

Outlook Xavier Worthy

Xavier Worthy vs. Jets — Volatile Flex Looking to Rebound at Home

Worthy maintains a starting perimeter role in Kansas City's passing attack alongside Rashee Rice, but his recent production has hit a rough patch. Over his last two contests, he has totaled just 24 receiving yards on 12 targets, causing fantasy manager confidence to dip with his start rate dropping to 19%.

Our projections expect a modest bounce-back against a 2–6 Jets squad, forecasting him for 3.7 receptions, 42 yards, and around 10.2 fantasy points on six targets. Kansas City is heavily favored in a solid scoring environment, making Worthy a boom-or-bust flex option who relies on rediscovering downfield splash plays.
