Xavier Legette Fantasy Football Outlook (2025)

By Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros), Thu, May 22nd 2025, 1:02pm EDT

Xavier Legette's rookie season was a mixed bag - he led the Panthers in several receiving categories but his opportunities rarely translated into reliable fantasy value. Despite a solid 21% target rate per route run, he never topped six catches or 66 yards in a game, and his efficiency was hampered by a string of injuries and inconsistent QB play.
Legette flashed briefly - notably two red-zone TDs in Weeks 8-9 and a few solid outings post-bye - but most of his volume came when Jalen Coker was out of the lineup. The Panthers' decision to draft Tetairoa McMillan in Round 1 suggests Legette's projected role as a starter is far from secure. Legette is best viewed as a final-round dart throw in fantasy.
