Xavier Legette Needs to Show Something in Week 2
Carolina Panthers second-year wide receiver Xavier Legette was on the field for 78% of the Panthers' offensive plays in their Week 1 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, he secured three of his seven targets for a disappointing 10 yards. This was another underwhelming performance for a player the Panthers drafted in 2024 to be their WR1. The good news is that Legette's high snap count and seven targets show he is getting opportunities in the offense. In Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals, he could see an increased target share, as Panthers' WR3 Hunter Renfrow (rib) has been limited at practice due to a rib injury. The Cardinals' pass defense is not one of the league's best, and it's reasonable to expect the Panthers' offense to take a step forward in their second game. Legette is best left on the waiver wire and is mainly an option in deep leagues until he and Bryce Young can get on the same page and he makes the most of his opportunities.
