Tyler Lockett Signing With Raiders

Monday, October 27, 9:14 AM

The Las Vegas Raiders are expected to sign former Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Lockett to a deal today, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Lockett reunites with both quarterback Geno Smith and Pete Carroll, who spent a few seasons together with the Seattle Seahawks. The veteran wideout played a small role over seven games in Tennessee, catching just 10 of his 21 targets for 70 yards and no touchdowns. He recorded 894 yards and five touchdowns in his last season under Carroll with the Seahawks in 2023, and will be hoping to carry over some of that success for a Raiders offense that is last in the league in points scored. However, Lockett is unlikely to become relevant in 12-team redraft leagues.

Xavier Legette Disappoints In Week 8

Monday, October 27, 8:50 AM

Xavier Legette totally disappointed fantasy players who used him as a lineup plugger in Week 8. The former first-round pick was targeted only three times by Andy Dalton and caught two passes for 17 yards. In a blowout loss to Buffalo, He carried none of last week's momentum over. When Bryce Young was the starter in Week 7, Legette caught. nine passes for 92 yards and a TD. Dalton naturally prioritized Tetairoa McMillan, and Coker had three targets to Legette's two as the backup QB struggled mightily in a 31-point loss. Head coach Dave Canales mentioned that he hopes Young will be back for Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers. If Young returns next week, the Panthers could be more statistically productive playing from behind vs. Green Bay. But the recent return of Coker may also prevent Legette from being useful at all. Outside of Week 7, Legette has not caught more than three passes in a game this season. He is a cut candidate for Week 9.
