Signed before last season to provide the Chiefs with another big-play threat, Brown sustained a shoulder injury on his first catch of the preseason and underwent surgery. He didn't make his debut with the club until Week 16 and appeared in only two games, turning nine catches into 91 yards. The team re-upped with the veteran on another one-year deal, though their need doesn't look nearly as dire as long as both Rice and Worthy are healthy and available.
Brown, a former first-round pick of the Ravens, has flashed his talent since entering the NFL, but after six seasons he's managed to top 1,000 yards just once (91-1008-6 in 2021). He's also had issues with durability, missing eight games during his two-year run with the Cardinals and then 15 games for Kansas City in 2024 -- he has appeared in every game once in his career. Brown feels more like a fallback option in case we see regression, injury, or other issues for Rice and/or Worthy, but he might still be worth a look as late-round depth.

 Xavier Worthy could return in Week 4
WR likely to play limited role due to shoulder injury

FFToday's Take: Although Marquise Brown has absorbed most of Worthy's short targets since he left with his shoulder injury in Week 1, Tyquan Thornton has emerged as the Chiefs' primary receiver over the last two-plus games. It remains to be seen if Thornton can hold onto a regular field-stretching role when Rashee Rice (suspension) is back and Worthy is feeling better, but the former Patriot surprisingly has value in deeper leagues right now.
| Xavier Worthy ruled Out for Week 3
Won't travel with the team

FFToday's Take: Worthy (shoulder) got in the three limited practices this week and was listed as Questionable before being ruled Out. It's been reported that Worthy has a torn labrum although the Chiefs haven't confirmed that diagnosis. It seems Worthy is close to returning the field and will likely wear a harness on his shoulder. For Week 3 expect Marquise Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton to be the top three wideouts.
