The Kansas City Chiefs have given wide receiver Xavier Worthy the questionable tag ahead of the Week 12 game against the Indianapolis Colts.

It has been a disappointing season for Worthy, who ranks as WR56 overall in terms of fantasy points per game scored.

The Colts are tied for the 12th-most fantasy points per game given up to wide receivers, but this will also be the first week in which Indy will have all three of its top cornerbacks, Sauce Gardner, Charvarius Ward and Kenny Moore in action.

When taking everything into account, it's hard to trust Worthy in lineups.
