Xavier Legette Officially Active For Week 9
1 month agoAs expected, Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Xavier Legette (toe) is active on Sunday and will play in Week 9 against the division-rival New Orleans Saints, who will be without both cornerbacks Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) and Kool-Aid McKinstry (hamstring). Legette was listed as questionable coming into the contest but was expected to play all along. With veteran Adam Thielen (hamstring) missing another game and Diontae Johnson now playing for the Baltimore Ravens, the 23-year-old Legette will operate as Carolina's clear WR1, giving him upside as a flex option for fantasy managers. The 32nd overall pick back in April out of South Carolina caught four of his seven targets for 34 yards and his third touchdown of the year in last week's loss to the Denver Broncos. In Week 1 against the Saints, Legette had a 4-35-0 line.
