Today we are breaking down seven players that you could sell high on in fantasy football to get the

0:03.9

most that you possibly can out of these guys before your friends catch on. Because there's a chance that these players just can't sustain this production. Odds are that they can't. And we're going to start with one of the players who just returned from an injury in week five and had a massive game. And that man's name is Xavier Worthy, who returned for a Kansas City Chiefs offense that desperately needed him. I mean, he got hurt on the third play of the game in week one, right?

0:20.9

play of the game in week one, right? Travis Kelsey over the middle of the field dislocates Xavier Worthy shoulder, terraces labrum, and then the offenses look terrible for the past month since then. But Worthy returned to this game, and as you can see right here from the game logs, he immediately became the number one receiver once again with Rashi Rice still out, five catches, 83 yards. He had plays all over the field early and often

0:39.2

in this one. He was taking hits. He was quoted after the game to saying like the second I took that first hit. I was like, okay, I'm back. I'm playing football now. And he looked great the rest of the way. Not only did he lead the team in receiving with 83 yards and a team high five catches. He also led the team, which is not what you want to see every single week, in rushing as well because he had two

0:54.9

carries for 38 yards. You would like to see the backfield look a little bit better. Pacheco did in this game somewhat on his seven limited carries, but Xavier Worthy was used all over the field. He had 120 or so total yards in his return. So all this is good news. As you can see right here, J.J. Zacharison points out that in his return, Worthy played 71% of the chief snaps or 71% route rate. A 23% target share led the team. And according to, right now, is if we pull it up right here, Ryan Heath on Twitter, Xavier Worthy's target shares over his 11 last seven full games, including in week four. He goes out there, he has a 27% dating back to last year, 27%, 27, 24, 25, and then he had a 22 to 23% target share when he returned depending on the source that you look at in week four. So what is all this means? Well, it just means that he is the clear cut alpha on this team when, and this is the big asterisk, when Rashai Rashi Rice is not active. And that's the real problem, right? Like gar Rachi Rice is going to come back. That's kind of the root of why selling high and Xavier worthy off of a very good game is something to look into. And the other reason why is because of this right here. Data favors him returning in week four, which he did according to sports MD analysis on Twitter. But he says re-injury risk remains high all season up to a 50% chance of a re-injury. This guy has a torn labrum. He is playing with a torn lame. It doesn't just heal in two to three weeks. If he takes another hit, if he extends too high and then he takes a hit right there, he's probably done for the rest of the season. And then my other concern is that once Rashi Rice returns, there's a very good chance, almost a guaranteed chance that Rice is going to move into the slot in this offense, which pushes Xavier Worthy to the outside. And that's somewhat of a concern because in the first 10 games of the season or the first nine games of the season last year, Xavier Worthy was mostly an outside receiver as a rookie, and he only averaged 8.7 fantasy points per game. It wasn't until the second half of the season when they moved them into that Rashi Rice rule. And in his final eight games, he averaged 13.6 fantasy points, twice as many yards. His targets went from four to seven per game. Now, of course, those first nine games are also the first nine of his career. So that's part of it. Maybe he's just struggling to get acclimated in the NFL. But he has been a much better producer out of the slot in this Chief's offense, which basically everybody is when they get that role. Rossashi Rice in the past, week one, Marquis, Hollywood Brown had 16 targets in that role this year, right? So once he gets pushed to the outside, maybe we see a little bit of an efficiency drop in his total fantasy week in and week out becomes maybe more of like a boomer, a bust option. So before the return of Rashi Rice in three weeks, before the potential role change for Xavier worthy and also this looming potential re-injury risk why not try and trade worthy high off of this 110 total yard game that he just had you could trade him one for one for AJ Brown right now I would definitely do that jad and daniels depending on the makeup of your team if an elite quarterback makes you much better and you have wide receiver depth i would definitely definitely do that right now. We scroll down a little bit more.

3:25.0

I mean, even guys like Woody Marks are pretty close to Xavier Worthy rest of season.

3:28.3

That seems crazy.

3:29.0

I wouldn't be doing that deal right now.

3:30.7

But Woody Marks is a borderline top 60 player rest of season. Xavier worthy once Rashi Rice comes back is going to be in that same range of like a 60th or overall, a 60 or so overall player, like a fifth round pick if we redrafted.

3:41.2

Now the next player, let's talk about a rookie here.

3:42.9

Cam Scaddle with the New York Giants fourth round rookie runner. of like a 60th or overall, a 60 or so overall player, like a fifth round pick if we redraft.

3:41.2

Now the next player, let's talk about a rookie here, Cam Scadaboo of the New York Giants, fourth round rookie running back. This is somebody that I think is like the number one. If I had to rank the players I'm trying to sell high right now before week five, it's definitely Cam Scadaboo because there's so much hype about this guy. First off, he was a beloved college football player. Everybody loved this guy. And once the national attention got there in the

3:58.4

college football playoff of him dominating in a game against penn state or a game against texas sorry well it just hit another level in terms of how much of a hive that cam scadaboo had and we've seen these last two weeks cam scadaboo get more usage a couple weeks back tyron tracy gets hurts we see scadaboo get 20 plus touches this past week in week four four and Jackson starts first, or Jackson Darts first start, 25 carries for Scadaboo in this game. He adds in two receptions. So he's getting 27 touches. Now, this is all this guy did in college. He called passes. He ran the rock. Sometimes he threw a ball as well, but he was seeing massive workloads in holding up. That's what we saw in his fourth ever game in the pros in week four. As you could see from Ryan Heats tweet right here,

4:32.7

speaking of Cam Scadaboo, he commanded 83% of the backfield opportunities in his first full game without Tyron Tracy, including all five backfield carries inside the 10-yard line. So this is fantastic. He's getting the red zone usage. He's catching passes. He's seeing a massive workload, but there's a lot of red flags to this profile. First up, Tyron Tracy was expected to miss two to four weeks. So he can return

4:51.3

probably as soon as next week. And once he returns, now maybe Scataboo, the guy they spent the fourth round draft pick on at the top of the fourth round. Maybe he's just going to be the guy moving forward. But let's not forget, Tracy played 74% of the snaps week one, 40% of the snaps week

5:03.1

two, his role was reduced because he ended up on missing a pass protection in that game.

5:06.8

And then in week one, 40% of the snaps week two, his role was reduced because

5:04.5

he ended up on missing a pass protection in that game. And then in week three, he was the starting running back ahead of Skadaboo. He had seven carries in this game. He was playing the majority of the snaps early in that game against Kansas City in the Sunday night primetime game until he ended up getting injured. So he was still going to be the starting running back for those three games all three games until the injury so once he returns even if he doesn't go back to seeing

5:23.1

70% of the

5:23.9

snaps, what if he just sees 40%. That's going to be much more than currently Camp Scadaboo is giving up right now to Devon Singletar. And although I'm not the biggest fan of Tyron Tracy in terms of being like a workhorse back. I do think he's a talented back. I mean, again, as a rookie in a

5:34.8

limited role where he wasn't the starter all season last year, over 800 rushing yards,
