Should You Start or Sit Xavier Legette in Week 7?
This offense has simmered since the initial Andy Dalton spark, but the rookie has seen four of his 25 targets come in the end zone, no small accomplishment for an offense that doesn’t exactly live in scoring position.
His seven-yard score at the end of the first half last week was a thing of beauty, as it displayed not only his athleticism but Dalton’s understanding of what the rookie is capable of.
Legette has scored in two of three games since Adam Thielen was injured. While the nature of his surroundings will create plenty of ebb and flow, this is exactly the type of player you should be stashing — a young weapon whose team is motivated to get an extended look at him as the season progresses. He’s been productive up to this point, and I think his best is yet to come.
