Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Xavier Legette says Panthers are interested in him at pick 33
Xavier Legette was on a call with USA TODAY’s John Crumpler and told him that the Panthers had discussed taking him a pick 33 in this week’s NFL Draft
Fantasy Impact
Legette landing in Carolina would provide another boost for Bryce Young and the Panthers, who acquired Diontae Johnson from the Steelers earlier in the offseason. He would fit very nicely in a receiving room that is missing an X receiver-level talent, and would immediately slot in as a top target earner.

Rashee Rice expected to receive multigame suspension
Rashee Rice is facing a multigame suspension over his recent arrest, according to Adam Schefter, who broke down NFL Draft-related news as well as things he has been hearing around the league.
Fantasy Impact
Rice facing a multigame suspension is not what fantasy managers want to hear, as the second-year receiver was poised to have a large role this season. He could drop a few slots in WR rankings as a result of this news.

Zach Wilson traded to Denver
The Broncos have acquired Zach Wilson from the Jets in exchange for a late-round pick swap.
Fantasy Impact
The swap is a sixth round pick for a seventh round pick and the Jets will play around $5.5M of Wilson’s salary. The Broncos now head into the NFL Draft with Jarrett Stidham, Zach Wilson, and Ben DiNucci as the three quarterbacks currently on their roster. Based on the current quarterback group, Wilson could have a chance in camp to compete for the starting quarterback job.
