Marquise Brown Injures his Ankle in Tuesday's Practice

Tuesday, July 29, 1:08 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers Marquise Brown (ankle) and Skyy Moore (hamstring) both suffered injuries during Tuesday's training camp practice, according to head coach Andy Reid. Brown is the much bigger fantasy name of the two. Until we know more about the specific nature of his injury, he'll be considered day-to-day. But with Rashee Rice most likely facing a suspension of around three to four games to begin the 2025 season, Hollywood's status will be worth monitoring even more closely. The 28-year-old only ended up playing in two regular-season game and three playoff contests in 2024 in his first year in KC due to a serious shoulder injury he sustained in training camp last summer. While Brown didn't exactly stand out for fantasy purposes, he did serve as the WR2 behind Xavier Worthy. He can still create separation, but durability issues have become a major concern.

Xavier Legette Should be More Productive

Monday, July 14, 2:30 PM

The Athletic's Joseph Person writes that Carolina Panthers second-year wide receiver Xavier Legette should see improved production in 2025 as quarterback Bryce Young develops and rookie first-round receiver Tetairoa McMillan draws coverage his way. Legette had 49 catches for 497 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games (13 starts) after going 32nd overall in last year's draft out of South Carolina. It was a disappointment for the 24-year-old, but as Person points out, Legette didn't become a full-time starter in college until his fifth season. His eight drops put him among the leaders in that category. the 6-foot-3, 227-pounder has a big, chiseled frame and could make strides this year as long as Young continues to improve as well. There will be plenty of competition for targets in Carolina, though, so RotoBaller has Legette ranked as the No. 64 wideout.
