Andrei Iosivas News
Monday, July 20, 6:00 AM
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas has spent his first three seasons buried on a depth chart behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. While he's shown the occasional pop for fantasy, most notably as a red zone option in 2024, the insurmountable talent at the top of the room has him entering the final year of his rookie deal as little more than a role player. While dynasty managers with the luxury to do so should continue to hold him in hopes of finding greener pastures through free agency in 2027, Iosivas is not a player who should factor into 2026 redraft plans. Currently RotoBaller's WR91, the former sixth-round pick should be readily available on waiver wires should an unfortunate injury force him into a more consequential role.

Xavier Legette News
Wednesday, July 29, 11:25 AM
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette now has the inside track on the No. 3 role after rookie Chris Brazzell II suffered a moderate LCL tear in his left knee and is expected to miss up to eight weeks, according to Joe Person. Person reported that the new injury is believed to be unrelated to the knee soreness that kept Brazzell out of practice Sunday and Tuesday. With Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker established atop the depth chart, Legette is now positioned ahead of David Moore and John Metchie III for the next spot. The 25-year-old caught 35 passes for 363 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games last season after recording 49 receptions for 497 yards and four scores as a rookie. Legette has also made several notable catches early in camp, including a red-zone touchdown Sunday. Brazzell's absence removes the most prominent challenger to Legette's role, but the former first-round pick still must turn the opportunity into more consistent production before becoming a dependable fantasy option.
