Weekly Writeup
Legette has been a full-go in practice this week and is on track to return from his hip injury for Sunday's game vs. the Buccaneers. The rookie saw eight targets in each of his last two healthy games, with one of those coming against the Buccaneers. But Legette hasn't topped 66 receiving yards in a game all season and remains a low-level fantasy option.

Bottom Line

Legette was selected with the final pick of the first round, but starting his NFL career as a 23-year-old is not ideal.

Being handpicked by the new coaching staff for the Mike Evans role in Dave Canales’ offense is exciting, but the Panthers are unlikely to be a high-powered offense.

He is likely to start off slow and is not a great bet to be startable this season, so we have him lower in our 2024 WR rankings compared to his current ADP.

What We Learned Last Year

  • Legette was selected by the Panthers with the 32nd overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft.
  • He played five years at South Carolina, making very little impact until the 2023 season.
  • Legette posted career-best numbers across the board last year:
    • 97 targets
    • 71 catches
    • 1,255 receiving yards
    • 7 receiving TDs
  • Legette’s breakout age at 22.6 is eighth percentile among drafted WRs.
  • He was near the top of the leaderboards in the SEC:
    • Second in yards per game (104.5)
    • Fourth in receptions per game (5.9)
    • Fifth in yards per catch (17.68)
  • Legette was named second-team All-SEC.
  • He measured in at 6 '1, 212 pounds at the NFL Combine and registered an outstanding 4.39 40-yard time.

What to Expect in 2024

  • Legette will play under HC Dave Canales who will be calling plays for the Panthers offense.
    • Canales was the OC for the Buccaneers last season.
    • Under Canales, the Buccaneers ranked 19th in the NFL with 568 passes.
  • Legette is unlikely to out-target WR Diontae Johnson. We’ll see if the rookie can push past Adam Thielen for the No. 2 WR job.
  • The Panthers are expected to take a step forward this year after only winning two games last season. They are fourth in the NFC South and 31st in the league with a 5.5 win total at most sportsbooks.
  • The Panthers have the worst odds in the NFL to win the Super Bowl at +25000 at most sportsbooks.

Panthers WR Xavier Legette (hip) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals. WRs Jalen Coker (quad) and David Moore (concussion) are listed as questionable. Coker was added to the injury report on Thursday but was able to get in a limited practice on Friday. Moore practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday. We're tentatively expecting both guys to play but will look for further updates and get Carolina's inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.

Panthers WR Xavier Legette is considered "week-to-week" with the groin injury that knocked him out of the Week 15 loss to the Cowboys and is not expected to play vs. the Cardinals this weekend, HC Dave Canales said. It sounds like Legette might miss more than just one game. He's droppable from redraft rosters. Legette's absence should put WR Jalen Coker back in a full-time role, alongside WRs Adam Thielen and David Moore.

Dynasty Write-up
You don’t come across many fifth-year breakouts. But that was the case for Legette, who turned 23 in January. Push that aside for a moment and consider the strength of his 2023 tape. Legette bullied DBs at 6’1, 219 pounds and proved effective post-catch. In fact, he tallied a monster 38.3% share of South Carolina’s team receiving yards. The 32nd overall pick, Legette won't hurt for opportunity in Carolina.
