"Legette is eyeing a second-year leap following a rookie campaign with mixed results. The 2024 first-round pick posted a route participation of at least 59% in 11 games in his first season. He handled a healthy 21% of the targets (6.4 per game) and 30% of the team's air yards, but was limited to 39.3 yards and 9.8 fantasy points per game, reaching 14 points only once. Legette was near the basement of the position in YPR, YPT, YPRR and RAC. Legette is positioned for an every-down role and there are plenty of targets available behind first-round pick Tetairoa McMillan after Adam Thielen was traded to Minnesota. With Legette's pedigree and after Bryce Young's strong finish to 2024, the 24-year-old is well worth a late flier."


"Legette's three catches Saturday marked his highest total in a game since the Week 12 loss to the 49ers. The 2024 first-round pick had a costly drop in the first quarter that cost the Panthers a first down, but he was otherwise perfect the rest of the way. On the season, Legette caught 35 of 64 targets for 363 yards and three touchdowns across 15 appearances. The Panthers now need the Falcons to beat the Saints during their Week 18 clash to force a three-way tie for the NFC South title. In that scenario, Carolina would hold the tiebreaker and host a wild-card playoff game."

"Johnson is entering his third NFL season having racked up 186 touches in 29 games during his first two seasons. The 2023 fourth-round pick impressed, especially as a receiver, in a limited rookie-season role (115 touches), but with D'Andre Swift brought in as lead back in 2024, Johnson dripped to 71 touches. That wasn't enough to allow consistent fantasy value, but he was busy near the goal line, matching Swift's six TDs and eight carries inside the 5 yard line. The 25-year-old enters 2025 competing with rookie Kyle Monangai to be Swift's primary backup. Johnson has some late-round insurance appeal."


"Johnson popped up on Wednesday's injury report with a thumb injury. He ended up missing all three practices during the week before being ruled out from playing Sunday against Pittsburgh. With Johnson's placement on IR, he'll now miss at least three more games beyond Sunday, making his earliest return date Dec. 20 versus Green Bay. The Bears signed Brittain Brown to their 53-man roster from the practice squad Saturday to replace Johnson as the team's No. 3 running back."

"McCaffrey will be sidelined for at least four games due to a fractured collarbone, though Tashan Reed and Tom Schad of The Washington Post relay that the injury will most likely keep the wideout out for the remainder of the season. If that's the case, McCaffrey will wrap up his second NFL campaign with 11 catches for 203 yards and three touchdowns on 15 targets over nine games. The 24-year-old had also established himself as one of the NFL's top kickoff returners, ranking third in the league with an average of 29.6 yards per runback."
