Smart fantasy football players should know better than to start these six wide receivers solely on name-value.

It has been a tough fantasy football season for some, and included in the concerning bad beats are Saquon Barkley and Xavier Worthy.

Xavier Worthy and the Kansas City Chiefs secured their third straight win in Week 8's edition of "Monday Night Football," taking down Marcus Mariota and the Washington Commanders 28-7 and jumping to 5-3 on the 2025 NFL season.

Yes, start Worthy this week. That'll be the directive most weeks, but it's particularly true with the Las Vegas Raiders on the other side in Week 7.

As Nate Tice noted, Las Vegas ran 30 plays in Week 7 against the Chiefs, which was the fewest amount of plays an NFL offense has run in a game since at least 2002. That is absurd. It was perhaps only bested in the outrage department by the fact that both the Raiders and the Chiefs essentially decided to "sim to end" at one point in this game.

Worthy reeled in five of seven targets for 53 yards during Monday's 28-7 victory over the Commanders.

Jayden Daniels is out for the second consecutive week with a knee injury, while Terry McLaurin is a new addition to the injury list. There's better news in Kansas City, as Xavier Worthy is on track to play after he missed almost three full games with a shoulder issue.
