Xavier Worthy

KC Wide Receiver #1

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Xavier Worthy failed to catch either of his two targets in the Chiefs’ Week 9 win over the Buccaneers, losing 10 yards on two carries.

Worthy was far from emphasized against the Buccaneers after an early mistake cost the team seven points. Worthy appeared to score on the team’s opening possession from 33 yards out but he was ultimately ruled out of bounds after failing to get both feet down in the field of play, something that appeared to come with some level of nonchalance. Instead of ensuring both feet were inbounds, Worthy caught the ball while backpedaling towards the left pylon, both heels clipping the white paint along the sideline. Head coach Andy Reid was clearly aggravated with the rookie wide receiver during his halftime interview as the team departed the field of play, something that could have influenced his usage in the second half. Cementing his fantasy dud was a failed end around in the third quarter, on which he lost 10 yards. Worthy’s next opportunity to return fantasy utility comes in Week 10 against the stout Denver secondary.
DeAndre Hopkins

KC Wide Receiver #8

DeAndre Hopkins caught 8-of-9 targets for 86 yards and two touchdowns in the Chiefs’ Week 9 win over the Buccaneers.

Hopkins scored the first and last touchdown for the Chiefs in regulation in his second game with the team, clearly operating in a more robust role after playing a modest 23 offensive snaps in Week 8. His nine targets finished second on the team behind tight end Travis Kelce’s 16 but the two scores were more than enough to propel him to his best fantasy finish of the season. Hopkins could find the sledding tougher against the suffocating Broncos secondary in Week 10.
Travis Kelce

KC Tight End #87

Travis Kelce caught 14-of-16 targets for 100 yards in the Chiefs’ Week 9 win over the Buccaneers.

Kelce served as the primary target in another game played without both Rashee Rice and JuJu Smith-Schuster, although it was recent acquisition DeAndre Hopkins that scored twice on the evening. Even so, the fantasy returns for the veteran tight end were more than adequate even though he was tackled at the one in overtime. Kareem Hunt would score two plays later to walk it off for the Chiefs and send the team to a perfect 8-0 record as they now turn their sights to the Broncos in Week 10.
Kareem Hunt

KC Running Back #29

Kareem Hunt rushed 27 times for 106 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs’ Week 9 win over the Buccaneers, adding 11 yards on his lone reception.

Hunt struggled to modest returns for much of the game before taking over in the fourth quarter and overtime, capping his night off with a walk off touchdown plunge from two yards out in extra time. Even through the poor 3.9 yards per carry mark, Hunt remained the workhorse in the Kansas City backfield in the absence of Isiah Pacheco, a role that has led to a league-leading expected fantasy points per game mark since Week 4. As such, Hunt remains a priority start in fantasy circles for as long as Pacheco remains out, which appears on the horizon after Ian Rapoport reported earlier in the week that he was likely two to three weeks away from a return.
Patrick Mahomes

KC Quarterback #15

Patrick Mahomes completed 34-of-44 passes for 192 yards and three touchdowns in the Chiefs’ 30-24, Week 9 overtime win over the Buccaneers, adding nine yards on two carries.

The collective Chiefs nation held their breath as Mahomes came up lame following an early fourth quarter touchdown pass to running back Samaje Perine. Mahomes needed assistance to the sideline before being checked by trainers and cleared to return. It turned out to be an aggravation of the ankle injury the franchise quarterback suffered in Week 8, not enough to withhold him from the game in a tied affair. Mahomes would march the team down the field later in the quarter to take a 24-17 lead but watched on the sidelines as Baker Mayfield returned the honor, forcing overtime with just 27 second remaining. The Chiefs won the coin toss and would never give the ball back to Mayfield and the Buccaneers, walking it off on a Kareem Hunt touchdown from two yards out half way through the overtime frame. Mahomes and the Chiefs escaped yet another close call to improve to a perfect 8-0, with their eyes now turned towards the Broncos at home in Week 10.
Cade Otton

TB Tight End #88

Cade Otton caught 8-of-11 targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers’ Week 9 loss to the Chiefs.

Otton was the primary point of emphasis through the air for the second consecutive week following the injuries to Chris Godwin and Mike Evans, the former of whom is out for the season while the latter is likely to return following the team’s Week 11 bye. That means fantasy managers are likely to get one more week of Otton as the lead pass-catcher when the Buccaneers play host to the 49ers in Week 10.
Bucky Irving

TB Running Back #7

Bucky Irving rushed seven times for 24 yards in the Buccaneers’ Week 9 loss to the Chiefs, adding 10 yards on three receptions.

The Buccaneers ran only 52 offensive plays to the 83 of the Chiefs, limiting the backfield trio to just 13 combined carries in the process. Irving, Rachaad White, and Sean Tucker remained vital pieces through the air as they combined for seven targets, but the decreased play volume once again hindered their chances at fantasy utility. Irving’s next chance to return fantasy viability comes in Week 10 when the Buccaneers play host to the 4-4 49ers.
Baker Mayfield

TB Quarterback #6

Baker Mayfield completed 23-of-31 passes for 200 yards and two touchdowns in the Buccaneers’ 30-24, Week 9 overtime loss to the Chiefs, adding 20 yards on four carries.

Mayfield watched from the sidelines as Patrick Mahomes drove the Chiefs down the field in the fourth quarter to take a 24-17 lead with just over four minutes remaining. The Bucs went three-and-out on the following possession but their defense held when they had to, giving the ball back to the offense with enough time for Mayfield to drive the field to bring the team within a point. Head coach Todd Bowles elected to kick the field goal to tie the game with 27 seconds remaining as opposed to trying for the two-point conversion, which sent the game into overtime. Mayfield then watched from the sidelines as Mahomes drove the length of the field, a drive capped off by a Kareem Hunt touchdown plunge from two yards out to send the Buccaneers to 4-5. Things don’t get any easier for the Buccaneers in Week 10 when they host the 49ers, likely to be without their top three wide receivers once again.
Mecole Hardman

KC Wide Receiver #17

Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman (shoulder) was taken to the locker room in the first quarter of Week 9 against the Buccaneers.

Hardman fell awkwardly on his shoulder on a punt return in the first quarter and was slow to get up, eventually being taken to the locker room with the training staff for further evaluation. Hardman was not targeted prior to departing.
JuJu Smith-Schuster

KC Wide Receiver #9

Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster and RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire are inactive for Week 9 against the Buccaneers.

Edwards-Helaire has yet to make his season debut as the team has turned to Kareem Hunt, Samaje Perine, and Carson Steele. Smith-Schuster will miss another week with a hamstring injury sustained in Week 7. Recent acquisition DeAndre Hopkins could see his snap and route participation rates grow in his second game with the team, particularly after a long week. Also inactive for the Chiefs are CB Nazeeh Johnson, OL C.J. Hanson, OT Ethan Driskell, DT Marlon Tuipulotu, and DE Mike Danna.
