Xavier Hutchinson News
Saturday, October 10, 4:01 AM
Houston Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson was in a much smaller role in Week 4 with the return of Nico Collins after a hamstring injury. Hutchinson only played 17 snaps (31%) against the Cowboys after playing over 50% of snaps in each of the previous three games this season. Even with fewer plays on the field, though, he caught three passes for the fourth straight week. He ended up with 46 yards and finished second on the team with five targets despite his reduced playing time. With Kayshon Boutte struggling and Tank Dell (knee) still not ready to return, there is still a window for Hutchinson to seize the second receiver spot in Houston, but he'll need a big game against the Titans this week. Since his playing time was so significantly slashed last week, though, it's very hard to trust him this week, even in a favorable matchup against the Titans. Hutchinson is the WR80 in RotoBaller's rankings for Week 5, so he can be left on the bench or the waiver wire in almost all formats.

Xavier Legette News
Saturday, October 3, 12:19 PM
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (knee) has been placed on Injured Reserve, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Legette has been sidelined since Week 2 by a knee injury and is now set to miss at least the next four weeks. Before getting injured, the 25-year-old recorded two catches for 64 yards on six targets. Legette's role in the Panthers' offense had been diminished by the emergence of Carolina wideout Jalen Coker (quad), who has established himself as the team's clear WR2 alongside star wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan. Still, the knee injury is an unwelcome setback for Legette, who has struggled to get his career off the ground since being selected by Carolina in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. With Legette sidelined, Panthers wideouts Brycen Tremayne, David Moore, and John Metchie III could all see a few more chances to contribute.
