Rashee Rice vs Xavier Worthy: Who Should You Start?

Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy are at different tiers heading into 2026. The Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver averaged 15.5 PPG in 2025, a full 9.2 points per game ahead of Xavier Worthy's 6.3 with the Kansas City Chiefs. That kind of gap doesn't close on matchup alone.

The per-game difference of 9.2 points favors Rashee Rice, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one wide receiver to the other.

Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Rashee Rice turned 78 targets into 571 yards and 5 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.

Both share a Week 6 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking wide receivers this deep on your bench, plan your replacement wide receiver early.
