Falcons owner Arthur Blank envisions one international game per team, per year | NBC Sports
Every team would play an international game, every year.
Via Sports Business Journal, Falcons owner Arthur Blank said during a Saturday appearance on NFL Network that an “international game every year for every team” is “probably on the horizon.”
It makes senses. Even if certain teams will create far less excitement than others, it makes sense for every team to be expected to do it once per year, for competitive reasons.
For now, the league is limited under the Collective Bargaining Agreement to a maximum of 10 international games per year. In the next labor deal, it’s widely expected that the number will increase to 16.
With that (or possibly before that) will arrive an international broadcast package, primarily featuring European games that begin at 9:30 a.m. ET.
Undervalued WR: Xavier Worthy, Kansas City Chiefs
ADP: WR25, 54th Overall
Xavier Worthy’s days of being undervalued may come with an expiration date—at some point in the not-too-distant future, the NFL is going to suspend Rashee Rice for his role in a street-racing incident and hit-and-run crash. Worthy’s asking price is already beginning to increase.
But right now, Worthy is still available in high-end fantasy WR3 territory. And for Mike Fanelli of Fantasy Pros, that ADP screams value.
“Worthy had a solid rookie year, finishing as the WR33, averaging 11 PPR fantasy points per game. However, he started to shine after Rashee Rice suffered a season-ending knee injury. More importantly, the former Texas star ended the year on fire. Worthy was the WR10 during the fantasy playoffs, averaging 10.3 targets and 21 fantasy points per game, totaling 19.6 or more in every outing. Furthermore, he was outstanding in the Super Bowl, totaling two touchdowns and 35.7 fantasy points. Worthy’s 0.61 fantasy points per route run ranked 15th out of 88 wide receivers with at least 50 routes during the fantasy playoffs, posting a higher average than Ja’Marr Chase (0.47), per Fantasy Points Data.”
Expecting Worthy to catch eight passes for 157 yards and a pair of touchdowns (his stat line in Kansas City’s loss in Super Bowl LIX) isn’t reasonable. But with Rice staring at a multi-game suspension and coming off a major injury, the door is open for Worthy to stake his claim as Kansas City’s top wideout.
And with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes making it clear that he wants to attack opposing defenses vertically more this season, that could mean big things for Worthy in 2025.
