    Fantasy Football Week 2 Sleepers: Xavier Worthy's worth increases, Zach Charbonnet's intriguing upside, more

    Xavier Worthy's value increased for Week 2 based on two things that happened this week. He's worth using as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver as a sleeper in all leagues against the Bengals .

    First, Cincinnati defensive back Cam Taylor-Britt gave Worthy and the Chiefs some bulletin board material with some unflattering comments about the Kansas City rookie. Said Taylor Britt about Worthy, "He can run straight. Run jet sweeps and just run straight. He can't do too much else, so that's about it."

    Taylor-Britt continued by saying, "He's only a hundred-some pounds, so if you put hands on him, you're gonna stop his speed. So basically, get your hands on him."

    Along with those comments, the Chiefs placed receiver Marquise Brown (shoulder) on injured reserve Friday, which means Worthy is locked into a starring role for the foreseeable future. And since he knows that -- as does Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid -- we could see Worthy featured quite a bit in Week 2.

    In Week 1 against Baltimore, Worthy only had three total touches, but he turned them into two touchdowns. He had a 21-yard rushing touchdown and caught two of three targets for 47 yards and a touchdown.

    He should only improve as he gets more playing time, and Mahomes will likely try to show that Worthy can do more than "run straight." I'm excited to start Worthy in three-receiver leagues against the Bengals, and he's one of my favorite sleepers for Week 2.
