Rashid Shaheed News
Sunday, March 8, 9:32 AM
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler expects the Las Vegas Raiders to make a run at Seattle Seahawks impending free-agent wide receiver Rashid Shaheed, "depending on how the dominoes in the receiver market fall and the price point." New Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak "loves" Shaheed after working with him in the second half of last year, after the Seahawks acquired him in a midseason trade with the New Orleans Saints. However, Fowler points out that Vegas' bigger need is the offensive line. The Raiders could definitely use some upgrades at the wideout position for their expected new franchise quarterback in Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza, especially after trading Jakobi Meyers to the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2025. Shaheed, 27, only had 15 catches on 26 targets for 188 yards and no touchdowns in nine regular-season games in Seattle, although he does also have electric special teams capabilities as a return man. Shaheed is going to be a boom/bust WR4/flex in fantasy wherever he lands.

Xavier Legette News
Thursday, February 19, 1:26 PM
A first-round pick in 2024, Carolina wide receiver Xavier Legette has yet to top 500 receiving yards or four touchdowns in either of his professional seasons. While he has shown the occasional flash, he looks to be heading in the wrong direction on the Panthers ' depth chart heading into 2026. Offensive Rookie of the Year Tetairoa McMillan led the team in almost all statistical categories in 2025, while Jalen Coker has been prioritized over Legette whenever he's healthy. With Coker seeing career highs in targets, receptions, and yards in Carolina's Wild Card playoff loss, and the Panthers regularly tied to the position in a wide receiver-heavy draft, Legette's value continues to slide. Quarterback Bryce Young has yet to hit 3,300 yards or 25 passing touchdowns through his first three seasons, making a meaningful fantasy impact nearly impossible for any receiver that dips too far from the top of the depth chart.
