Alec Pierce News
Monday, April 20, 8:38 AM
Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard said that wide receiver Alec Pierce (ankle) underwent ankle surgery, per ESPN's Stephen Holder. Pierce reportedly played through pain in the ankle last season. The surgery will keep him from participating in OTAs, but Pierce should be ready to go for training camp. The 25-year-old had the best year of his career in 2025, recording 47 receptions for 1,003 yards and six touchdowns on 84 targets across 15 games. The Colts rewarded Pierce earlier this offseason with a four-year, $114 million extension. The team also traded away veteran wideout Michael Pittman Jr., which could mean Pierce will be expected to expand his route tree beyond his usual downfield role. While it sounds as though Pierce should have a normal training camp, this ankle ailment will be something for fantasy managers to monitor heading into 2026.

Xavier Legette News
Monday, May 4, 10:08 AM
A first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette has struggled to live up to his draft status through the first two years of his professional career. Across 15 games in 2025, the 25-year-old recorded 35 receptions for 363 yards and three touchdowns on 64 targets. Legette also lost playing time down the stretch of the season, lining up for 55% or fewer of his team's offensive snaps in their final three contests. While the Panthers don't have an overwhelming depth of talent in their wide receiver room, Legette enters 2026 behind both Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker on the pecking order for targets. Carolina also used a third-round pick on University of Tennessee wide receiver Chris Brazzell II in the 2026 NFL Draft, who could put pressure on Legette for the Panthers WR3 role. In dynasty formats, Legette's value is at an all-time low heading into his third NFL season.
