Sunday, November 15, 7:07 AM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (knee) is active for Sunday's Week 10 game against the New Orleans Saints, according to Joe Person. Carolina's final injury report listed Legette as a full participant Friday and questionable for Sunday. The Panthers activated him from injured reserve Saturday. In his last game, Legette caught two passes for 64 yards against Atlanta in Week 2, including a career-long 55-yard reception. Jalen Coker and Tetairoa McMillan each played more than 50 offensive snaps against Denver last week. Legette figures to compete for work behind them with Brycen Tremayne and John Metchie III, who played 21 and 19 snaps, respectively.

Malachi Fields Too Risky to Trust in Week 10

Wednesday, November 11, 4:13 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Malachi Fields is gaining momentum as he enters the backstretch of the 2026 season. In eight games, Fields has caught 19 of 35 targets for 288 yards and a touchdown, averaging 5.5 half-PPR fantasy points per game. In two starts with quarterback J.J. McCarthy, Fields has caught seven passes for 123 yards, solidifying his status as the clear WR2 ahead of veteran Darnell Mooney. The rookie receiver faces a Washington Commanders defense that has allowed the 11th most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Rain is expected to be a factor in East Rutherford on Thursday night, which could limit the Giants' passing game despite a favorable matchup. Fields is best left on fantasy benches this week, though his WR2 role will be something to monitor in Week 10.
