Five Late-Round WR Sleepers Poised for 2026 Breakouts

The piece highlights five wide receivers being drafted in the 11th round or later who could become weekly must-starts in 2026 fantasy football: Josh Downs could step into a top target role in Indianapolis after Pittman Jr. was traded and Alec Pierce’s injury, while Worthy in Kansas City has upside to lead the team in receiving if his shoulder issues and chemistry improve. Jayden Higgins in Houston is expected to see a bigger role with Kirk gone, Rashid Shaheed in Seattle is a high-upside deep threat who could become the second option behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Adonai Mitchell in New York could earn a starting-like role behind Garrett Wilson under Frank Reich. ADP context shows these players are strong late-round targets who could outperform their draft cost.

Chiefs Camp Injury Jolt: Allen, Worthy Exit Practice With Minor Scares

Chiefs rookie Cyrus Allen exited Saturday’s practice with a shin bruise after colliding with Kaiir Elam; a mild shin bruise is not expected to sideline him long and no bone issue is suspected. Veteran Xavier Worthy left late in practice with shoulder discomfort but is not believed to have a significant injury and is expected back soon. Worthy had offseason shoulder surgery from Week 1; Rashee Rice is nearing a return, and if any of the trio misses Monday's first padded session, depth receivers such as Jalen Royals, Andrew Armstrong, Nikko Remigio and Jason Brownlee would get first-team reps.

Mahomes Ahead of Schedule as Chiefs OTAs Open, WR Depth in Flux

Day 1 of Chiefs OTAs showed Patrick Mahomes progressing ahead of schedule after ACL/LCL surgery, participating in individual drills but not a full practice; the next hurdle is running and cutting, with a realistic shot at it by training camp. Wideout Xavier Worthy remains limited in a yellow non-contact jersey, and Rashee Rice is absent, creating more opportunities for Jalen Royals as Andy Reid provides targeted coaching. Emmett Johnson continued to work with the punt-return unit as the upback, signaling a noteworthy role on special teams as the team builds depth during offseason workouts.

Worthy, who has a torn labrum from Week 1, had full practice participation earlier but will be reevaluated. If he misses the game, Mahomes will rely on Brown and Thornton.
