Trends


"Legette is eyeing a second-year leap following a rookie campaign with mixed results. The 2024 first-round pick posted a route participation of at least 59% in 11 games in his first season. He handled a healthy 21% of the targets (6.4 per game) and 30% of the team's air yards, but was limited to 39.3 yards and 9.8 fantasy points per game, reaching 14 points only once. Legette was near the basement of the position in YPR, YPT, YPRR and RAC. Legette is positioned for an every-down role and there are plenty of targets available behind first-round pick Tetairoa McMillan after Adam Thielen was traded to Minnesota. With Legette's pedigree and after Bryce Young's strong finish to 2024, the 24-year-old is well worth a late flier."


"Since returning from injury in Carolina's Week 5 win over the Dolphins, Legette has been targeted just five times, catching four passes for 42 yards and a touchdown over the team's last two games. He was outpaced by rookie wideouts Tetairoa McMillan (3-39-2) and Jimmy Horn (2-36-0), finishing sixth on the team in receiving yards during Sunday's victory. Although the second-year pro continues to operate as the Panthers' No. 2 wide receiver, his involvement has been limited, with most of the team's offensive production coming from McMillan and Rico Dowdle. Legette draws another great matchup in Week 7 against a struggling Jets defense, but he's still unlikely to make a meaningful fantasy impact."
