KaVontae Turpin Unlikely to Have Significant Offensive Role

Friday, July 10, 10:54 AM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin established himself as an elite returner this past season. He earned himself a trip to the Pro Bowl with his excellent work on special teams. He's valuable in leagues that count return yardage, but is unlikely to have much value outside of that. Turpin finished with 26 receptions, 396 receiving yards, and two touchdowns across 15 games last season. The Cowboys have brought in some competition for the third and fourth wideout roles. Turpin might get lost in the shuffle offensively, but should remain a star in the return game.

Xavier Legette News

Does Xavier Legette Carry Buy-Low Appeal Ahead of 2026?

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.
