Would I take Xavier Worthy or Devonta Smith?

Both of these players feel like they're "better in best ball" players to me, and I have them right next to each other in my Draft Dominator tool rankings. That being said, I'd personally lean towards Xavier Worthy as my selection, who finished last season on an absolute tear, averaging 17.5 points per game over his last ten games. The upside here feels higher, and with a possible suspension for Rashee Rice still looming, there's additional runway for him to finish higher than even I'm ranking him.
