Tyler Lockett News
Sunday, December 28, 7:59 PM
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyler Lockett tallied two receptions and nine yards off his three targets during Sunday's 34-10 loss to the New York Giants in Week 17. The veteran wide receiver's fantasy day was saved by his reception in the back of the end zone on a quarterback Geno Smith (ankle) scramble late in the third quarter. Lockett was competing for targets with the fourth-round rookie wide receiver Dont'e Thornton Jr., but the Raiders' offense struggled to sustain drives or keep a clean pocket against the Giants' defense. If rookie wide receiver Jack Bech (back), who was a late addition to the Week 17 injury report and was ruled out before kickoff on Sunday, Lockett should resume his part-time WR3 role in Week 18 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs' defense is a bottom-10 matchup for opposing wide receivers, keeping Lockett in deep-league WR4/Flex territory heading into the final game of the 2025 season.

Xavier Legette News
Sunday, July 26, 6:08 PM
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette's performance in training camp practice was impressive, per Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340. Legette is in the beginning stages of a critical summer, as the former first-round pick is likely fighting to retain his starting role in 2026. Across 15 games (12 starts) last season, Legette recorded 35 catches for 363 yards and four touchdowns on 64 targets. Carolina used a third-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on wide receiver Chris Brazzell II (knee), who could push Legette for the Panthers' WR3 role behind Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker. However, Brazzell II was held out of Sunday's practice due to knee soreness, while Legette reportedly had a great day. It's still early, but the battle between Legette and Brazzell II will be one for deep-league and dynasty managers to monitor throughout the summer.
