Taylor Swift’s ‘We Drafted Xavier Worthy!’ Revelation Fuels Fantasy Hype for Chiefs Rookie

Swift’s on-air excitement over Kansas City’s 2024 first-round pick has prompted outlets to forecast a climb in his fantasy draft stock.

Overview

  • On the New Heights podcast, Swift recounted running through her house screaming “We drafted Xavier Worthy!” after the Chiefs traded up to select him.
  • She learned of the trade-up before Travis Kelce and prompted him to double-check her scoop before confirming it.
  • The Sporting News and other outlets say her endorsement could move Worthy above his current WR23 ranking in upcoming fantasy drafts.
  • Worthy posted 59 receptions for 638 yards and six touchdowns in his rookie regular season and added 19 catches for 287 yards and three TDs in the playoffs.
  • His record-setting 4.21-second 40-yard dash at the Combine and eight catches for 157 yards with two TDs in Super Bowl LIX highlight why Kansas City invested a first-round pick in him.
