The Carolina Panthers will visit the New Orleans Saints in Week 15. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Xavier Legette.
Is Xavier Legette Playing in Week 15?
Legette is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Panthers’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Legette in Week 15?
We shouldn’t care about Legette.
Since Week 7, he’s been held under 25 receiving yards five times. That sort of floor is crippling and can’t be trusted in a fantasy lineup. That said, he’s still lingering on some rosters because of the two weeks where he actually cleared 25 yards; he was a top 15 PPR receiver.
Those random spikes are interesting enough to have our interest. Still, with Jalen Coker producing before the bye, there’s an increased level of risk when it comes to a receiver who already has a wide range of outcomes.
The Panthers want to pound the rock, and I think we’ll see plenty of that. I prefer Coker to Legette as the WR2 in this offense, but that role doesn’t hold top 40 value for me, regardless of who you give that production to.
