Robert Woods Announces his Retirement

Tuesday, February 17, 1:08 PM

Wide receiver Robert Woods announced his retirement from professional football on Tuesday on his Instagram, according to Omar Ruiz of the NFL Network. Woods was with the Pittsburgh Steelers in training camp last summer but requested his release before the start of the regular season, and he never latched on with another team. The 33-year-old wraps up a successful 12-year NFL career, having caught 683 of his 1,093 targets for 8,233 yards and 38 touchdowns in 171 regular-season games played. Woods was originally a second-round pick in 2013 out of USC by the Buffalo Bills, and he played the first four years of his career with the Bills. He won a Super Bowl ring with the Los Angeles Rams in 2021. In Woods' final NFL campaign in 2024 with the Houston Texans, he caught 20 of 30 targets for 203 yards and no touchdowns.

Xavier Legette Hard to Trust Even If Active in Week 3

Saturday, September 26, 9:20 AM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette is questionable for Week 3 against Cleveland after dealing with a knee injury this week. He missed Thursday's practice, returned as a limited participant Friday, and head coach Dave Canales said Legette will be a game-time decision. Even if he plays, there is not much here for fantasy managers to lean on. Legette has two catches for 64 yards on six targets through two games, with 55 of those yards coming on one play against Atlanta. He has also played only 53% and 50% of Carolina's offensive snaps, clearly behind Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker. Coker is questionable with an ankle injury but is expected to play Sunday. Legette sits at WR89 in RotoBaller's updated Week 3 rankings, which fits where his role stands right now. The big play last week was encouraging, but the targets have been scarce and the knee issue adds another reason to stay away from him in most fantasy lineups.
