Why It Matters: Worthy was in the middle of one of his more productive games of the year before going down with a non-contact injury. For a player whose best asset is his speed, a hamstring injury could set him back a while. The injury could free up more targets for Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce and could be the opening preseason darling Cyrus Allen needs to see more playing time. At any rate, fantasy managers should expect to be without Worthy for a game or two, although word on the seriousness of his injury should be made public on Monday or Tuesday.
