Will Xavier Worthy have a huge impact in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday? Or will the Eagles hold the Chiefs’ rookie receiver in check?
Xavier Worthy NFL Season in review
Worthy, the Kansas City Chiefs’ first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, had a notable rookie season, contributing significantly to the team’s offense. Over 17 games, with 13 starts, Worthy recorded 59 receptions for 638 yards, averaging 10.8 yards per catch, and scored 6 touchdowns. He also added versatility with 20 rushing attempts for 104 yards and 3 touchdowns.
Worthy’s NFL debut was impressive; he scored two touchdowns against the Baltimore Ravens on September 5, 2024, one of which was a 21-yard run on his first NFL touch.
Throughout the season, Worthy became a reliable target for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, particularly in short to intermediate routes. His performance was instrumental in the Chiefs securing a 15-2 regular-season record and advancing to Super Bowl LIX.
As the Chiefs prepare to face the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, Worthy is expected to play a significant role in the team’s offensive strategy.
Xavier Worthy NFL Playoffs Recap
Worthy has had a major impact for the Chiefs this postseason. In Kansas City’s two playoff wins, Worthy was targeted 13 times. The rookie caught 11 of those passes for 130 yards and a touchdown. He also has three carries for eight yards.
Xavier Worthy Super Bowl LIX Prop Prediction
I’m all in on the rookie receiver this Sunday. I like the over 5.5 (+108) receptions, as well as the over 54.5 (-110) receiving yards for Worthy against the Eagles. He has stepped into a feature role in this offense, hauling in at least five receptions in seven straight games.
Just like Rashee Rice a year ago, the Chiefs have slowly increased Worthy’s impact in the offense. It should come to a head this Sunday against the Eagles.
