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.

Isaac TeSlaa News
Saturday, October 24, 6:22 AM
Across five games in 2026, Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa has recorded nine catches for 187 yards on 19 targets. The 24-year-old has flashed upside, but he was also held without a catch on two targets in Detroit's most recent game before its Week 6 bye. In Week 7, the Lions will take on a Green Bay Packers defense that currently ranks third in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (6.0) and eighth in passing touchdowns allowed (seven). If Detroit's defense continues to struggle, there's a chance that the Lions could be forced into a pass-heavy game script that allows TeSlaa to see an increase in targets. However, the Lions have a number of pass-game weapons that are ahead of TeSlaa in the target pecking order between wide receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, as well as tight end Sam LaPorta and running back Jahmyr Gibbs. TeSlaa remains tough for fantasy managers to trust in Week 7.
