Dontayvion Wicks News
Sunday, July 12, 10:43 AM
The Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks is coming off a quiet year, but his move to Philadelphia gives him another chance to matter in fantasy. He finished 2025 with 30 catches for 332 yards and two touchdowns, both of which came in a six-catch, 94-yard game against Detroit. The Eagles still saw enough to trade a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 sixth-rounder for him, then extended him through 2027. There is room for someone to emerge after A.J. Brown was dealt to New England, and Wicks already has some familiarity with new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion from Green Bay. The opportunity is real. So is the competition. DeVonta Smith sits at the top of the depth chart, while rookie Makai Lemon, Hollywood Brown, and Elijah Moore will all be in the mix. Wicks enters camp with a chance to win a starting job, but nothing beyond Smith looks settled yet. Ranked WR84 by RotoBaller, he makes more sense as a deep-league stash than a standard-league sleeper until the rotation starts to take shape.

Xavier Legette News
Friday, July 10, 6:27 AM
A first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette has widely provided uninspiring production through the first two years of his career. Across 15 games in 2025, the 25-year-old recorded 35 catches for 363 yards and three touchdowns on 64 targets. Entering 2026, Legette could still be in a position to play a starting role alongside top Panthers wideouts Tetairora McMillan and Jalen Coker. However, Carolina added some competition for Legette in the form of rookie wide receiver Chris Brazzell II, whom the team selected in the third round of the 2026 draft. Still, Legette's stock has fallen to the point where he will most likely go undrafted in most 12-team redraft leagues ahead of 2026. As a former first-rounder who still has a clear path to a starting role with his team, Legette could be a worthy low-cost flier for deep-league managers.
