Xavier Worthy

Xavier Worthy caught 3-of-6 targets for 25 yards in the Chiefs’ Week 5 win over the Saints, adding three yards and a touchdown on his lone carry.

The Chiefs continue to look for ways to get their speedy youngster involved on offense and it is clear they are starting to open up the playbook for him. Mahomes attempted three deep passes to Worthy, two falling incomplete and one drawing a defensive pass interference penalty in the second half. Worthy scored from three yards out on a direct snap to tight end Travis Kelce, who operated a read option and handed the ball off to the rookie for the touchdown. Worthy could further expand his involvement after the Chiefs come out of their Week 6 bye.
