Sources classify Xavier Worthy as "50-50" to return for Week 3 against the Giants, noting optimism but also the need to see him handle a fuller practice workload. "Have to see how he looks with real practice reps," the source said. Worthy practiced in a limited capacity Thursday and Friday of last week, and the Chiefs will ramp up his workload coming off the shoulder injury.

It would be hard to trust Worthy in fantasy lineups if he's still on 50-50 this late in the week, so he's best left on benches even if he does suit up. Brown should continue to be considered a WR3 regardless, while the rest of the WR room are only suggested in very deep leagues.

Aaron Glenn said Justin Fields is OUT for this week's game.

It's officially Tyrod Time in New York, but that shouldn't inspire us to stream him in any but the deepest leagues. On 16 Week 2 dropbacks, the veteran back-up completed seven passes and took two sacks.

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields’ status for next week’s game against Tampa Bay is up in the air after he left Sunday’s loss to Buffalo early in the fourth quarter to be evaluated for a concussion. On Monday morning, head coach Aaron Glenn said Fields was in concussion protocol.

Fields took a hit from Bills defensive end Joey Bosa before being led to the medical tent and later the locker room. He completed 3-of-11 passes for 27 yards and also led the Jets with 49 rushing yards on five carries before he exited. Typically, we see players miss the following week when they are in concussion protocol, so Fields owners will want to monitor him over the week. Owners should probably come up with a backup plan in the event Fields needs to sit out Week 3, which is an early game on the road against the Bucs.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) has a shot to play next week against the Giants.

Worthy was ruled out for Sunday against the Eagles but him returning to practice, even on a limited basis, was a great sign and opened the door for an earlier return than expected. Certainly far from a guarantee. We’ll have to see how he practices this week, but the door is open for Worthy to play under the bright lights of Sunday Night Football next week on the road against the Giants. Marquise Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster will lead the charge at the position against the Eagles.

The Chiefs officially ruled out wide receiver Xavier Worthy for Sunday’s Super Bowl rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles with a shoulder injury.

The good news is Worthy did return to practice this week, even if just as a limited participant, just days after his friendly fire injury against the Chargers. Head coach Andy Reid indicated the odds were long that Worthy would play Sunday. He was originally listed as doubtful on Friday. Juju Smith-Schuster and Marquise Brown will lead the charge in the passing game against an Eagles secondary that has a stud in Quinyon Mitchell and a question mark in Adoree’ Jackson.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) is officially doubtful for Sunday vs. the Eagles.

Brown is the most obvious beneficiary and should be considered a fringe WR2/3. Smith-Schuster will operate underneath with a limited ceiling, while Thornton is a desperation boom/bust play.

A good sign: Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy, who injured his shoulder just six days ago, returned to practice today on a limited basis.

The rumor has been that the team will try to have Worthy play through the injury with a brace, but it's hard to expect him back out on the field in Week 2. Brown is the most obvious beneficiary and should be considered a fringe WR2/3. Smith-Schuster will operate underneath with a limited ceiling ,while Thornton is a desperation boom/bust play.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid says WR Xavier Worthy continues to rehab. He won't practice today. Surgery and a potential IR stint are not being considered at this time.

The rumor is, the team will try to have Worthy play through the injury with a brace, but we shouldn't expect him back out on the field in Week 2.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid describes Xavier Worthy as "day-to-day" on Sports Radio 810, an indication that the plan is to rehab and attempt to play with a brace -- rather than immediate surgery. Some good news initially.

Worthy collided with teammate Travis Kelce on the play early in the game, which led to the injury and Worthy missing most of Week 1's contest. It's good news for owners Worthy is at least going to attempt to play with the injury, and we'll have to pay close attention to his status in practice this week, as well as the injury report. Owners may want to first "wait-and-see" before slotting Worthy back into fantasy lineups.

Xavier Worthy suffered a dislocated shoulder during Friday’s game against the Chargers and is still undergoing tests.

Worthy suffered the injury early in the game due to friendly fire with TE Travis Kelce while running a mesh concept. The hope is that Worthy can return with a brace but will likely miss some time. Surgery is still an option.

With Rashee Rice suspended for five more games and Worthy likely missing time, the Chiefs top three receivers are currently Marquise Brown, Juju Smith-Schuster and a mix of Jalen Royals and Tyquan Thornton.
