Xavier Worthy, Isaiah likely fantasy football prospects after Ravens vs. Chiefs | News, scores, highlights, stats and rumors

Worthy could be a bit of a hit or miss for fantasy players, though. Travis Kelce, Rashee Rice, and Marquise Brown (once he returns from injury) are far more likely to get targets on a regular basis. However, Worthy’s ability to turn the targets he receives into big plays will keep him in the conversation for flex players all season long.

Speaking of Rice, he was Mahomes’ top target that night and definitely looked like a potential WR2 in future PPR leagues. Assuming he remains eligible for the entire season, he could be poised for a breakout year.

The other big fantasy star of the night was Baltimore tight end Isaiah Likely, who may have overtaken Mark Andrews as the Ravens’ best pass receiving option. At the time of publication, Likely had six pass catches for 91 yards and a touchdown, while Andrews recorded just a single catch for 11 yards.

The risk of starting either player in a given week is that the other may be Lamar Jackson’s first choice in that matchup. Andrews has long been one of Jackson’s most reliable targets – he’ll play a significant role in this offense. But Likely is a playmaker and he’ll get targets.

It’s entirely possible that the back-and-forth between the two will limit both to lower-end TE1 status, if not TE2 designation, but at the very least, Likely needs to be included in your lineup each week — he was great on Thursday.
