Xavier Worthy's recent injury history, with a sprained shoulder that has him questionable for the start of the season, clouds his immediate value despite trailing game performance.
Our own read · beta — not a trade price.
Worthy played through a torn labrum for nearly all of 2025 before offseason shoulder surgery, then missed a week of 2026 training camp with a separate shoulder sprain — a recurring durability pattern for a receiver whose role depends on contested vertical tracking.
Rashee Rice remains this offense's clear top target earner when healthy, which caps Worthy's target-share ceiling as long as Rice is on the field and productive.
Early-season target share and snap share are trending up relative to 2025 (13% target share, 71% snaps), consistent with reporting that Worthy would see a larger role now that he's healthy.
Worthy's downfield speed and 12.9 aDOT give him a big-play/YAC ceiling that's scarce in PPR/SF formats, paired with a pass-heavy offense running +6% PROE over expected.
Statistical neighbors with similar draft capital and rookie usage (Jordan Addison, Tee Higgins, George Pickens) posted low-double-digit PPG by their second full season, a plausible trajectory if Worthy's expanded role holds.
