Trends


"The Chiefs selected Worthy in the first round last year and the speedster was a major difference-maker right out of the gate. He was involved as both a rusher and receiver, dominating with the ball in his hands (his 7.0 RAC was ninth best among WRs). Perhaps the most notable nugget pertaining to Worthy is his late-season emergence. He handled a hefty 26% target share (8.7 per game) in his final six games (including the playoffs) and scored at least 19 fantasy points in five of those games. Working with a QB (Patrick Mahomes) who has finished top 10 in passing yards and TDs seven straight years, as well as with Travis Kelce aging and Rashee Rice facing a six-game suspension after missing most of 2024, the 22-year-old Worthy is well positioned for a big breakout. He's an intriguing WR2 target."


"Even with Rashee Rice and fellow deep threat Tyquan Thornton on injured reserve due to concussions, Worthy was unable to break through on the stat sheet. The 2024 first-round pick's blanking as a wideout was his second of the season, and he'll have nowhere to go but up in a Week 18 road matchup against the Raiders to close out the regular season."

I. Player News & Analysis

Trends


"Ekeler is returning for his ninth NFL season, including his second in Washington. Ekeler played eight full games with Brian Robinson Jr. last season (including the playoffs), with Ekeler handling 5.5 carries and 4.5 targets per game while playing 51% of the snaps. In those eight games, he wasn't much of a fantasy factor (10.0 PPG, clearing 12.8 once), which can somewhat be traced to a nonexistent role near the goal line (zero TDs or carries inside the 5). With Robinson traded, Ekeler's role may increase slightly this season, but that's not a sure thing with rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt in the fold. Ekeler was productive when Robinson was sidelined last season (3 TDs -- all from the 1-yard line -- and 15.4 PPG), so while he's now 30 years old, he has the look of a low-ceiling flex."


"Ekeler went down while running a route in the flat in the fourth quarter of last Thursday's defeat at Green Bay and quickly was ruled out with an Achilles injury. After undergoing the necessary tests, a torn Achilles was confirmed, thereby wiping out the rest of his 2025 campaign. Rookie seventh-rounder Jacory Croskey-Merritt is expected to take on a good portion of the early-down work out of the Commanders backfield moving forward, but Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez also are on hand for any RB reps that linger."
