Rashid Shaheed vs Xavier Worthy: Who Should You Start?
This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Rashid Shaheed finished the 2025 season at 7.1 PPG over 18 games with the Seattle Seahawks, while Xavier Worthy clocked in at 6.3 across 14 appearances for the Kansas City Chiefs. A 0.8-point gap means any given week could go either way.
With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Rashid Shaheed turned 92 targets into 687 yards and 2 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: Rashid Shaheed is off Week 10 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.
