Tommy Tremble

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette said he lost seven to nine pounds in the offseason and is now down to 221 pounds, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. Legette also said he's tried to "bulletproof" his hamstrings after previously having issues with them. The 25-year-old, who was the 32nd overall pick in 2024 out of South Carolina, has failed to live up to his lofty draft capital in his first two years in the NFL in Carolina. Legette has totaled 84 receptions on 148 targets for 860 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in 31 regular-season games (25 starts). His production took a dip last year, too, as he finished with a 35-363-3 line on 64 targets across 15 regular-season contests. Last year's first-rounder, Tetairoa McMillan, looks like the real deal, and Jalen Coker appears primed to be a breakout candidate in his third year as the team's WR2. That leaves Legette battling with John Metchie III and rookie Chris Brazzell II for targets as the Panthers' WR3. In standard 12-team fantasy leagues in 2026, Legette should go undrafted

Tommy Tremble

Tremble posted a career-best 27-249-2 line while playing all 17 regular-season games in 2025, benefiting from increased opportunities due to Ja'Tavion Sanders dealing with injuries. That said, Sanders projects to reclaim the clear No. 1 pass-catching role in Carolina's tight end corps to kick off the 2026 campaign, leaving Tremble in the familiar position of making most of his contributions as a blocker. Mitchell Evans could also push for an expanded rotational role in Year 2

Ja'Tavion Sanders Cutting Laterally at OTAs

Ja'Tavion Sanders Tommy Tremble

Carolina Panthers tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders (leg) looks freshly healthy during OTA practices this week and was cutting laterally like he did before suffering a season-ending leg injury in 2025, according to Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer. Sanders played in 13 games (five starts) last year in his second season in the NFL before suffering a broken right fibula in December that required surgery. The 23-year-old former fourth-rounder (101st overall) in 2024 out of the University of Texas caught 29 of his 34 targets for 190 yards and one touchdown before his injury. He's batting Tommy Tremble for the title of top pass-catching TE in Carolina, but Sanders has more fantasy upside long-term if he can stay on the field. Tremble is the better blocker of the two, and Sanders caught 33 passes for 342 yards and a score in 16 games (eight starts) in his first year in the league for the Panthers. Until we see more from Sanders in Year 3, he'll merely be a TE streaming option when bye weeks hit in 2026. RotoBaller currently has Sanders ranked as the No. 39 TE going into the upcoming campaign

The Carolina Panthers' tight end position represents a significant portion of their cap space, with Tommy Tremble accounting for the largest hit at $8 million. While players like Ja'Tavion Sanders and Mitchell Evans are on rookie contracts, the team has several other tight ends on one-year deals. The Panthers are currently ranked 15th in the league for cap allocation to tight ends, despite a perceived lack of elite talent at the position
