Xavier Legette Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

WR Adam Thielen racked up 9 receptions for 102 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. The numbers look even better when you check his shares of the Carolina team totals. Thielen's 11 targets constituted 32.4% of QB Bryce Young's total pass attempts. He also commanded 47.4% of the team's total receptions and 53.4% of Panthers receiving yards.

Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quad) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Eagles. Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, and David Moore will continue to operate as Carolina’s clear top three WRs against Philadelphia’s top-ranked WR defense.

Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quad) is listed as doubtful for this weekend’s game vs. the Eagles. It looks like he had a setback on Thursday and then didn’t practice on Friday. Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, and David Moore will continue to operate as Carolina’s clear top three WRs on Sunday. The Eagles rank first in adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs.

Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quad) was a full-go in Wednesday's practice, putting him on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Eagles. We don't expect Coker's return to impact WR Xavier Legette or WR Adam Thielen's playing time. We'll see if Coker moves past WR David Moore in the pecking order, but neither guy can be trusted in Week 14 fantasy lineups.

Panthers WR Adam Thielen led the team catching eight of 10 targets for 99 yards and a TD in his second game back from injury. It was a solid day for the Panthers WRs with Xavier Legette catching four of eight targets for 53 yards and David Moore catching five of nine targets for 40 yards.

Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quad) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Buccaneers. That leaves Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, and David Moore as Carolina’s clear top three receivers against the league’s 27th-ranked WR defense.

Panthers WR Adam Thielen (hamstring) missed practice all week and is out for Sunday morning's game vs. the Giants in Germany. Carolina will again trot out Xavier Legette, David Moore, and Jalen Coker as its top three WRs in that one.

Panthers WR Xavier Legette entered Sunday's game questionable but finished it tied for the team lead in pass routes. He was on the field for 93.3% of QB Bryce Young's dropbacks, matching WR David Moore for the team lead. Legette drew a team-high 6 targets. He tied for the team lead with 4 receptions, ranked third with 33 receiving yards, and snagged the team's only TD pass.

Panthers WR Xavier Legette is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Saints after suffering a hand injury late in the second quarter. We'll update his status when we know more.

Update: Legette returned for the start of the second half.

Panthers WR Xavier Legette (toe) is active for today’s game vs. the Saints. The rookie was added to the injury report on Thursday and limited again on Friday. Although there’s target upside here with WR Diontae Johnson gone and WR Adam Thielen still out, Legette would be a risky Week 9 start in season-long leagues.

Panthers WR Xavier Legette (toe) is expected to play vs. the Saints today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The rookie was added to the injury report on Thursday and limited again on Friday. That adds some risk to his Week 9 fantasy profile, although there are plenty of targets available in Carolina with WR Diontae Johnson now in Baltimore and WR Adam Thielen out again today with his hamstring.

Panthers WR Adam Thielen (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for this weekend's game vs. the Saints. He put in limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday but did not practice on Friday. It's unclear if he suffered a setback or just took Friday off in preparation for a Week 10 return. WR Xavier Legette, meanwhile, is questionable for Sunday's game with a toe injury. He was added to the injury report on Thursday and limited again on Friday. That leaves Jalen Coker, David Moore, and Jonathan Mingo as Carolina's top three healthy WRs.

ESPN's Adam Schefter said on The Pat McAfee Show on Monday that he expects WR Diontae Johnson to get traded ahead of next Tuesday's deadline. It makes plenty of sense for the 1-7 Panthers to get something in return for Johnson, who is set to hit free agency this offseason. A new home would certainly mean an upgrade in QB play and general offensive environment for Johnson. But he'd also have a new offense to learn and very likely face tougher target competition. Consider Johnson a hold while we wait on a potential trade. His departure would free up targets for WRs Adam Thielen, Xavier Legette, and Jalen Coker. But none is an exciting fantasy option considering the state of that offense.

Panthers WRs Diontae Johnson (rib) and Adam Thielen (hamstring) have been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Broncos. Johnson has been battling multiple injuries throughout the season. It's not the worst thing in the world that he's missing this game against stud CB Patrick Surtain with QB Bryce Young under center. We'll see if Johnson makes it back for Week 9. Thielen just returned to practice this week after coming off IR and isn't ready for game action yet. The Panthers will trot out Xavier Legette, Jalen Coker, Jonathan Mingo, and David Moore as their top four WRs this weekend. They'll struggle to score points.

Panthers WR Adam Thielen (hamstring) has been designated to return from IR and will practice on Wednesday. He's been out since injuring his hamstring at the end of the first half of Week 3. Thielen was a full-time player before going down but totaled just 12 targets across his 2.5 games. We'll see how Carolina divvies up playing time between Thielen and rookie WR Xavier Legette behind lead WR Diontae Johnson, but Thielen won't be much of a fantasy option in this struggling passing game.

Panthers WR Xavier Legette (shoulder) put in a full week of practice and isn't listed on the final injury report for Sunday's game vs. the Falcons. The rookie should be ready for a full slate of snaps. He's a viable WR4 or Flex play against Atlanta's 28th-ranked WR defense.

Panthers WR Xavier Legette (shoulder) was a full-go in Wednesday's practice. He was knocked out early in last weekend's game but is on track to play vs. the Falcons this weekend. Legette should step back in as Carolina's No. 2 WR and is a WR4 consideration for fantasy squads.

Panthers HC Dave Canales labeled WR Xavier Legette "day-to-day" with the shoulder injury that knocked him out of Sunday's loss to the Bears. Legette spoke to the media after the game and said that he expects to be ready for this weekend's game vs. the Falcons. We'll track the rookie's status throughout the week.

Panthers WR Xavier Legette injured his shoulder in the second half of Sunday's game vs. the Bears. He's officially questionable to return. We'll update his status when we know more.

Panthers WR Adam Thielen is expected to miss "some time" with the hamstring injury he suffered in the Week 3 win over the Raiders, according to insider Jordan Schultz. "An exact timetable is currently unclear, but he will be out a little," Schultz adds.
