Xavier Legette

Legette had another quiet game last week against Philly. I expected this, as the Eagles' secondary has been extremely tough against perimeter wide receivers. The silver lining here is that Legette saw eight targets, which makes for back-to-back outings with eight targets. In this rejuvenated passing attack led by a new-look Bryce Young, that volume looks much more promising than it did a month ago. Picking up Legette this week is doing so with the hope that he can help you bring home a title or advance into the championship round in Week 17. Legette could make some noise against the Bucs. Since Week 8, the Bucs have given up the fifth-most fantasy points per game to perimeter wide receivers (per Fantasy Points Data).

Xavier Legette caught 2-of-8 for 39 yards in the Panthers 22-16 loss to the Eagles.

Fantasy Impact

Legette had a few drops that cost the Panthers, including a potential game-winning 32-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter. The rookie will look to improve on this performance in Week 15 against Dallas.
