Conference Championship Wide Receiver Outlooks For Fantasy Football

A.J. Brown, Philadelphia Eagles - Fantasy Football Outlook

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee, illness, rest) practiced in full on Thursday and Friday and was removed from the final injury report. He will play on Sunday in the NFC Championship against the division-rival Washington Commanders and will be hoping to do some damage after barely being heard from in the first two postseason games.

Even though the 27-year-old has just three catches on 10 targets for 24 yards and no touchdowns in playoff wins against the Green Bay Packers and Los Angeles Rams, Brown will have some of the most upside on Championship weekend at the receiver position.

In the last meeting against the Commanders on Dec. 22, he had eight catches for 97 yards and a score on a season-high 15 targets. And in the first meeting on Nov. 14, he caught five of eight targets for 65 yards. Brown has high-end WR1 upside for DFS lineups.

- Keith Hernandez, RotoBaller

Xavier Worthy, Kansas City Chiefs - Fantasy Football Outlook

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy has solidified himself as a top option in the Chiefs passing attack. In the Divisional Round win over the Houston Texans, Worthy was the second option for Patrick Mahomes and the only receiver to catch a pass in the contest.

Worthy reeled in five catches for 45 yards against the Texans. The rookie's role expanded in the regular season's final weeks, and it appears that usage has translated to the playoffs. Worthy will look to remain involved against the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship game this Sunday. Travis Kelce will be the first read most often, but he should also draw the most attention from the defense.

If the Bills contain Kelce, Worthy could become the go-to guy for Mahomes. Worthy has also admitted he has some extra motivation to perform, given that the Bills did not want him and traded their pick to the Chiefs. The 21-year-old has a safe floor and clear upside, making him an obvious play in both DFS and playoff leagues this week.
