Xavier Legette News
Saturday, September 19, 8:17 AM
The emergence of Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker, who went off for eight catches, 138 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 1 season-opening loss to the Chicago Bears, has tanked the fantasy football value of former first-rounder Xavier Legette to open the 2026 season. In the 59-37 loss to the Bears last weekend, the 25-year-old Legette played just over half of the team's offensive snaps and failed to catch either of his two targets from quarterback Bryce Young. He added two kickoff returns on special teams for 51 yards. Legette has been a disappointment in Carolina after catching 84 of his 148 targets for 860 yards and seven touchdowns in his first two seasons, and he is clearly the WR3 for the team behind Coker and last year's first-rounder, Tetairoa McMillan. The Panthers should look to get Legette more involved in the passing attack this weekend against the division-rival Atlanta Falcons, but it is impossible to trust Legette in starting lineups right now, even in deeper formats.

Chris Bell News
Saturday, September 19, 5:20 AM
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chris Bell has quickly emerged as a starting option for the team after recovering from his ACL tear, which he suffered last December while at Louisville. Bell operated as the team's third receiver and caught one of his two targets for 25 yards in the team's Week 1 loss to the Raiders. He played 52% of the team's offensive snaps, well behind Malik Washington and Caleb Douglas but well ahead of fourth receiver Kevin Coleman Jr. He has intriguing long-term potential this season since he's quickly risen to such a big role, but he's only the No. 79 WR in RotoBaller's Week 2 rankings, so he shouldn't be in starting lineups just yet. He's a solid bench stash for deep leagues, but still needs to show more before you can count on him regularly.
