Should You Start or Sit Xavier Legette in Week 15?
The Panthers nearly pulled off the improbable upset in Philadelphia last week, and if Legette hauls in a deep pass late, they probably do.
If all near misses counted, we’d have a very different-looking season, both for fantasy and real life. In that alternate reality, maybe the Chiefs are 7-6.
But that’s not the world in which we live, and the fact of the matter is that Legette failed to make the most of his targets last week, something that has been the norm during his rookie season.
Performing for a spotty offense requires extreme efficiency to overcome a lack of scoring equity, and we’re not there right now. Legette has produced 35% under PPR expectations over his past three games, a run that coincides with an 80% catch rate for Adam Thielen.
Legette might well be the future of the position in Carolina and an asset for years to come if Bryce Young develops into a league-average signal-caller. Yet, when evaluating his value for the remainder of this season, there’s not enough here to roster, let alone start.
