Panthers' Xavier Legette: Key role in close win
Xavier Legette brought in four of six targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in the Carolina Panthers' 23-22 win over the Saints on Sunday. He also rushed once for six yards.Legette shared the team lead in receptions with Ja'Tavion Sanders and set the pace in targets as well, and the rookie recorded two particularly critical catches. Legette tallied his fourth touchdown of his career on a three-yard grab early in the second quarter to give Carolina its first points of the day, and he also came down with a 26-yard catch over the middle on third-and-10 during the Panthers' game-winning drive. Legette has an 8-67-2 line on 13 targets over the last two games while working with Bryce Young, so he'll head into a Week 10 matchup against the Giants in Germany trending in the right direction.

Panthers' Xavier Legette: Intends to take field Sunday
Xavier Legette (toe), who is officially questionable for Sunday's game against New Orleans, plans to play, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.Legette popped up on the injury report Thursday due to a toe injury and ended the week with a pair of limited practices. He was deemed questionable heading into the weekend, but he looks as though he'll be able to give it a go versus the Saints. With Diontae Johnson traded to the Ravens on Tuesday, Legette takes over as Carolina's de facto No. 1 wideout, and he'll look to build upon the three receiving touchdowns he's scored over the past five weeks, though he's averaging a modest 3.2 catches for 26.8 yards during that span.

Panthers' Xavier Legette: Receives Week 9 questionable tag
Xavier Legette (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Darin Gantt of the Carolina Panthers' official site reports.Legette was added to the Panthers' injury report Thursday, when he was a limited participant in practice due to the toe injury. He again was limited in Friday's session, prompting the Panthers to give him a designation heading into the weekend. The fact that he was able to practice in some fashion on consecutive days is a positive sign, but Legette's status may not get much clarity until Carolina releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. With the Panthers trading away Diontae Johnson earlier this week and with Adam Thielen (hamstring) listed as doubtful and unlikely to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's contest, Legette could serve as the top target in the passing game for quarterback Bryce Young if he's able to move past the toe injury.

Panthers' Xavier Legette: Added to injury report
Xavier Legette was limited at Thursday's practice due to a toe injury, Darin Gantt of the Carolina Panthers' official site reports.Legette is a midweek addition to Carolina's practice report, so his status bears watching Friday to see if he may be in danger of sitting out (or being inhibited) Sunday versus the Saints. In the wake of the Diontae Johnson trade earlier this week, Legette is in line to pace the Panthers' receiving corps moving forward, but the current health concern may throw a wrench into those expectations in the short term.

Panthers' Xavier Legette: Finds end zone in Sunday's loss
Xavier Legette caught four of seven targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Broncos.The rookie wideout opened the scoring by grabbing a six-yard strike from Bryce Young in the first quarter. Legette has gotten into the end zone three times in the last five games, but he's managed only 16 catches for 134 yards on 25 targets over that stretch. Carolina's passing game is likely to be in flux in the second half of the season as coach Dave Canales sorts out his QB situation and the front office decides whether or not to trade away Diontae Johnson (ribs) and/or Adam Thielen (hamstring), but Legette likely will see his role continue to grow as the team focuses on the development of the 32nd overall pick in the 2024 Draft.

Panthers' Xavier Legette: Tops depth chart with Johnson out
Xavier Legette is in position for a larger role Sunday against the Broncos, as the Carolina Panthers will be without Diontae Johnson (rib) and Adam Thielen (hamstring), Kassidy Hill of the Panthers' official site reports.Legette could work as the top option in a depleted Panthers receiving corps that also includes Jalen Coker, David Moore and Jonathan Mingo. Denver boasts one of the league's stingiest secondaries, and the Broncos could get top cornerback Patrick Surtain (concussion) back from a one-game absence. Legette has caught 18 of 28 targets for 177 yards and two touchdowns through seven games. The Panthers will have Bryce Young rather than Andy Dalton (thumb) at quarterback Sunday.

Panthers' Xavier Legette: Just two catches vs. Commanders
Xavier Legette caught two of his three targets for three yards in Sunday's 40-7 loss to the Commanders. He also rushed once for six yards.All three of Legette's touches came in the second half, possibly benefiting from a favorable game script with the Carolina Panthers trailing by as much as 37. The 2024 first-round pick is projected to continue serving as the Panthers' No. 2 wide receiver while Adam Thielen (hamstring) remains sidelined. However, it's unclear how much fantasy value he'll posses moving forward with Carolina's recent offensive struggles.
