Xavier Legette Has Major Opportunity, And Test, In Week 8
4 weeks agoCarolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Xavier Legette finds himself in unfamiliar territory against the Denver Broncos in Week 8. With receivers Adam Thielen (hamstring) and Diontae Johnson (ribs) ruled out, Legette should slide in as WR1 in Carolina's offense. Quarterback Bryce Young will also take the reigns from Andy Dalton (thumb), making his third start of the year. It's been an up-and-down year for Legette; a couple of touchdowns and he's shown promise as a red zone threat, but only one game over 50 yards. Last week, against a sub-par Washington defense, Legette had just two receptions for three yards. A very high-risk streaming option, he faces a strong Denver secondary and a quarterback with a 0:3 touchdown-to-interception ratio this season. RotoBaller ranks Legette as WR58 for Week 8.
