The Bottom Line

Tyler Lockett is the better fantasy play this season.

This one is genuinely close. Tyler Lockett edges Xavier Worthy by 0.6 PPG, but both are in the same production tier. The decision comes down to weekly matchup, not season-long resume. If you are choosing between them in a draft, Tyler Lockett goes slightly earlier based on volume, but do not reach for the difference.

Fantasy Tiers

Tyler Lockett: Tier 5 (Deep League) WR (ranked #99 at the position). Xavier Worthy: Tier 5 (Deep League) WR (ranked #99 at the position). Among the top 50 wide receivers this season, Tyler Lockett is producing at 31% of elite pace and Xavier Worthy at 29%. These two are close enough in the rankings that weekly matchup should dictate your start.

Tyler Lockett vs Xavier Worthy: The Full Breakdown

This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Tyler Lockett finished the 2025 season at 6.9 PPG over 15 games with the Seattle Seahawks, while Xavier Worthy clocked in at 6.3 across 14 appearances for the Kansas City Chiefs. A 0.6-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. Tyler Lockett turned 72 targets into 548 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: Tyler Lockett 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.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Tyler Lockett (age 27) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value. Xavier Worthy (age 23) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset.
