        No IR For Xavier Worthy

        Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy won't have surgery on his injured shoulder and won't be placed on IR, HC Andy Reid said Wednesday. That means the team expects Worthy to miss fewer than four games.

        We'll look for a more concrete timetable for Worthy's return. We wouldn't count on him playing against the Eagles this weekend, and he'll be at elevated risk of re-injuring that shoulder when he does take the field again. But Worthy should stay stashed on fantasy rosters in all leagues.

        The news dings WR Marquise Brown's fantasy value. He looks like a WR2 for as long as Worthy and Rashee Rice are out. But Brown will downgrade to WR3/4 status when Worthy returns and likely won't be worth starting when Worthy and Rice are playing.
