Courtland Sutton vs Xavier Worthy: Who Should You Start?
If you are choosing between Courtland Sutton and Xavier Worthy for your lineup, you are not alone. Courtland Sutton finished the 2025 season at 10.7 PPG for the Denver Broncos (17 games), and Xavier Worthy averaged 6.3 for the Kansas City Chiefs (14 games).
That 4.4-point weekly advantage for Courtland Sutton is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.
Target volume is the story here. Courtland Sutton saw 124 targets in 2025, while Xavier Worthy drew 73. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Courtland Sutton, even in weeks where Xavier Worthy posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
Courtland Sutton has his bye in Week 14, and Xavier Worthy rests in Week 6. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at wide receiver for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
