Panthers' Xavier Legette: Continues to underwhelm Sunday
Xavier Legette caught two of three targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints.Sunday's loss marked Legette's eighth game of the season with two or fewer receptions, though he still finished with the second-most receiving yards on the Carolina Panthers. The second-year pro has now caught 30 of 56 targets for 326 yards and three touchdowns across 12 appearances this year. Offensive consistency issues in Carolina likely make Legette too risky a fantasy option for a Week 16 matchup against the Buccaneers.

Panthers' Xavier Legette: Just two targets vs. Rams
Xavier Legette caught one of two targets for one yard in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Rams.The second-year pro from South Carolina didn't benefit from the Carolina Panthers' run-heavy approach (40 rush attempts) during Sunday's win, failing to reach double-digit receiving yards for the third time this season. When Carolina did pass, Legette was outshined by Jalen Coker and Tetairoa McMillan, who combined to catch five of eight targets for 117 yards and two touchdowns. Legette now has 28 catches on 53 targets for 287 yards and three touchdowns through 11 games, and his week-to-week volatility makes him a risky fantasy option for the remainder of the year.

Panthers' Xavier Legette: Three catches in Week 12 loss
Xavier Legette brought in three of five targets for 22 yards in the Carolina Panthers' 20-9 loss to the 49ers on Monday night.Legette tied with Jalen Coker for second in receptions on the Panthers for the night, although that equated to very modest yardage during what was an uninspiring performance for Bryce Young. Legette was coming off his second-highest receiving yardage total (83) of the season in Week 11 against the Falcons, so Monday night's downturn was particularly glaring. Legette next faces a talented Rams secondary in a Week 13 home matchup Sunday.

Panthers' Xavier Legette: Opens week with full practice
Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales said that Xavier Legette (hip) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.Legette didn't return to this past Sunday's 30-27 overtime win over the Falcons after exiting late in the fourth quarter due to a hip issue, but his ability to open Week 12 prep as a full participant suggests he was likely held out mostly as a precaution. Assuming Legette incurs no setbacks with the hip during practice sessions Friday and Saturday, he should head into Monday's game in San Francisco without an injury designation. Despite his early exit, the second-year wideout turned in one of his best games as a pro in the Week 11 victory, finishing with four catches for 83 yards and a touchdown on eight targets.

Panthers' Xavier Legette: Spotted practicing Thursday
Xavier Legette (hip) is participating in practice Thursday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.It remains to be seen whether Legette is listed as a full or limited participant Thursday, but it's nonetheless encouraging that he's taking part in Carolina's first official practice of the week ahead of Monday's game against the 49ers. The 2024 first-round pick injured his hip in the fourth quarter of Carolina's Week 11 overtime win over the Falcons but relayed Tuesday that he believes he'll suit up in Week 12. That optimism is supported by Legette's presence at Thursday's practice.

Panthers' Xavier Legette: Big day in OT win
Xavier Legette caught four of eight targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 overtime win over the Falcons before exiting in the fourth quarter due to a hip injury, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.Legette sustained the injury on the Carolina Panthers' final possession of the fourth quarter and didn't return for the overtime period. However, he still finished as Carolina's second-leading receiver, highlighted by a 36-yard touchdown from Bryce Young in the third quarter that pulled the Panthers within one score. The second-year wideout remains an integral part of Carolina's offense, catching 24 of 46 targets for 264 yards and three touchdowns across nine appearances this season. The extent of Legette's hip injury remains unclear, but if he's able to suit up in Week 12, he'll draw a favorable matchup against the 49ers on Monday night.

Panthers' Xavier Legette: Blanked in Week 10
Xavier Legette was targeted just once and didn't record a reception in Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Saints.The second-year wideout from South Carolina went without a catch for the first time this season in the Week 10 loss. He was overshadowed by Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker, who led Carolina's wide receivers with 60 and 21 yards, respectively. Since Legette's breakout performance in the Week 7 win over the Jets (9-92-1), he's caught just three of seven targets for 39 yards over the past three games. With the Carolina Panthers' passing attack continuing to struggle, Legette likely won't carry much fantasy value in the Week 11 matchup against the Falcons.

Panthers' Xavier Legette: Logs 22 yards in Week 9
Xavier Legette caught one of three targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Packers.Legette was evaluated for a possible concussion after taking a hit to the head in the second quarter, but he later returned and finished with 31 offensive snaps. Since posting a 9-92-1 receiving line against the Jets in Week 7, the second-year wideout has been quiet, recording just three catches for 39 yards over Carolina's last two contests. However, his lack of production in Week 9 can likely be attributed to the poor weather conditions and quarterback Bryce Young attempting only 20 passes and throwing for just 102 yards. Legette will look to bounce back in a Week 10 divisional matchup against the Saints.
