Keon Coleman vs Xavier Worthy: Who Should You Start?
The gap between Keon Coleman and Xavier Worthy is smaller than most fantasy managers think. Separated by just 0.1 PPG in 2025, this is one of those wide receiver decisions that comes down to context, not name recognition. Keon Coleman averaged 6.4 PPG with the Buffalo Bills across 13 games, and Xavier Worthy posted 6.3 with the Kansas City Chiefs in 14.
When two wide receivers are separated by less than two points per game, the decision shifts to weekly context. Who has the softer defense? Who is trending up over the last month? Which team is projected for more total points? Those are the tiebreakers that actually matter.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Keon Coleman turned 59 targets into 404 yards and 4 touchdowns, while Xavier Worthy converted 73 looks into 532 yards and 1 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
Keon Coleman has his bye in Week 12, 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.
