Outlook Xavier Legette
Third-Year Breakout or Final-Round Flier for Disappointing Receiver?
Xavier Legette enters his third NFL season listed as a starting outside receiver on the Panthers' depth chart, lining up opposite rookie Tetairoa McMillan. After back-to-back quiet seasons with 497 and 393 receiving yards, Legette has reportedly focused on his physical conditioning, arriving at offseason workouts leaner and healthier in hopes of securing a more consistent role under quarterback Bryce Young.
Our season projection is modest, forecasting Legette to grab 24 receptions for 279 yards and two touchdowns on 36 targets. This expected low volume aligns with his sub-10% fantasy roster rate. While he possesses physical tools, our models suggest he remains a low-floor option who has yet to prove he can command a reliable target share in Carolina's passing offense.
Draft market trends show Legette's ADP plummeting from the mid-300s in early June to a deeply discounted 637 in July, signaling that fantasy managers have largely lost faith. At this depressed cost, he is essentially free in drafts, making him a low-risk, final-round flier for managers hoping his improved conditioning translates into a third-year breakout.

Outlook Jalen Coker
Secured Slot Role and Contract Extension Make This Rising Star a Late-Round PPR Steal
Jalen Coker is primed for a breakout season after signing a lucrative three-year extension this offseason. The former undrafted free agent locked up Carolina's starting slot receiver role after overtaking Xavier Legette on the depth chart last season. This contract commitment highlights our belief in his locked-in role.
Our models project Coker to see a significant uptick in volume, forecasting 94 targets, 57 receptions, and 700 yards with five touchdowns. Coming off a campaign where he posted 560 yards and four scores, he has established himself as a reliable target for quarterback Bryce Young, particularly across the middle.
Coker's ADP has steadily climbed from the 140s into the early 130s following his new deal. At a current price tag of 133, fantasy managers are getting a premier late-round value steal. He is highly attractive in PPR formats due to his reliable slot floor and growing target share.
