Xavier Worthy fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 3 (2024). Should you start or sit Xavier Worthy for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Flex/WR3
ANALYSIS: Fantasy managers should consider starting Xavier Worthy as a Flex option in Week 3 against the Falcons despite his quiet performance last week. While Worthy only managed two catches for 17 yards against the Bengals, the game flow limited his opportunities, and Cincinnati's defense was focused on containing the deep pass.
The Falcons present a much more favorable matchup, especially with their secondary struggling to defend speedsters like Worthy. His big-play potential remains high, and in a matchup where the Falcons' defense has shown lapses in coverage, Worthy could bounce back with a game-breaking performance.
Additionally, Worthy's role in the offense is too valuable to overlook. He remains a deep threat and a key option in his team's passing attack, meaning he’s always a candidate for explosive plays, even if his previous stat line was underwhelming.

The Falcons' defense has allowed significant production to wide receivers, and Worthy’s speed and ability to get open downfield should be a crucial factor in the game plan.
For fantasy managers looking for a high-upside Flex play, Worthy’s Week 3 outlook offers the potential for a much-needed bounce-back game. With quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the big play opportunity will be there.
