Mike Evans vs Xavier Worthy: Who Should You Start?
If you are choosing between Mike Evans and Xavier Worthy for your lineup, you are not alone. Mike Evans finished the 2025 season at 8.7 PPG for the San Francisco 49ers (8 games), and Xavier Worthy averaged 6.3 for the Kansas City Chiefs (14 games).
That 2.4-point weekly advantage for Mike Evans 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.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Mike Evans turned 61 targets into 368 yards and 3 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.
One scheduling note: Mike Evans is off Week 9 and Xavier Worthy Week 6. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in wide receiver for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
