Panthers' Xavier Legette: Disappoints in sophomore season
Legette caught one of four targets for eight yards during Saturday's 34-31 wild-card loss to the Rams. Additionally, he recorded 44 kick return yards.
The 2024 first-round pick from South Carolina was one of six Panthers to catch a pass from Bryce Young during Saturday's loss, finishing with the fifth-most receiving yards on the team. Across 15 regular-season appearances, Legette caught 35 of 64 targets for 363 yards and three touchdowns, finishing the year as Carolina's third-leading receiver. Heading into his third season in the NFL, Legette likely will remain a depth option in the Panthers' receiving corps following the emergence of Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker during the 2025 campaign.

Panthers' Xavier Legette: Three catches vs. Tampa Bay
Legette caught three of four targets for 22 yards during Saturday's 16-14 loss to the Buccaneers.
Legette's three catches Saturday marked his highest total in a game since the Week 12 loss to the 49ers. The 2024 first-round pick had a costly drop in the first quarter that cost the Panthers a first down, but he was otherwise perfect the rest of the way. On the season, Legette caught 35 of 64 targets for 363 yards and three touchdowns across 15 appearances. The Panthers now need the Falcons to beat the Saints during their Week 18 clash to force a three-way tie for the NFC South title. In that scenario, Carolina would hold the tiebreaker and host a wild-card playoff game.

Panthers' Xavier Legette: Struggles in Week 17
Legette caught his lone target for three yards during Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Seahawks.
Despite the fact that the second-year wideout saw a sizeable workload (28 offensive snaps) during Sunday's loss, seven other Panthers topped Legette in receiving yards on the day. His role in Carolina's receiving corps appears to be shrinking, as he's caught just five of nine targets for 55 yards across the team's last four games. On the season, Legette has amassed 341 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 32 receptions. He's expected to operate as the Panthers' No. 3 wideout in a Week 18 matchup against the Buccaneers with the NFC South, and a playoff spot, on the line with a Carolina win. Note that the Panthers can also win the division if the Falcons win their next two games, no matter what Carolina does in the finale.

Panthers' Xavier Legette: One catch vs. Tampa Bay
Legette caught one of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers.
The second-year pro has now caught just seven of 13 targets for 74 yards over Carolina's last four contests. He appears to have been passed by Jalen Coker in the Panthers' receiving corps, as the latter has tallied 213 yards and two touchdowns on 14 receptions during that span. Legette remains Carolina's second-leading receiver on the season with 338 yards across 13 appearances, but he's unlikely to carry much fantasy value in the Week 17 matchup against the Seahawks.

Panthers' Xavier Legette: Continues to underwhelm Sunday
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 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
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 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
Legette brought in three of five targets for 22 yards in the 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
Panthers head coach Dave Canales said that 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
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: Expects to play through hip issue
Legette (hip) said that he anticipates being available for Monday's game against the 49ers, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Before injuring his hip late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 30-27 overtime win over the Falcons and not returning, Legette delivered one of his best performances of the season, finishing the afternoon with four catches for 83 yards and a touchdown on eight targets. Though Legette acknowledged Tuesday that he's still banged up two days after the game, he's optimistic that he'll suit up in San Francisco, especially given that he'll have an extra day to heal up before the Panthers resume practicing Thursday.

Panthers' Xavier Legette: Big day in OT win
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 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
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 Panthers' passing attack continuing to struggle, Legette likely won't carry much fantasy value in the Week 11 matchup against the Falcons.
