Bottom Line

Legette was selected with the final pick of the first round, but starting his NFL career as a 23-year-old is not ideal.

Being handpicked by the new coaching staff for the Mike Evans role in Dave Canales’ offense is exciting, but the Panthers are unlikely to be a high-powered offense.

He is likely to start off slow and is not a great bet to be startable this season, so we have him lower in our 2024 WR rankings compared to his current ADP.

What We Learned Last Year

  • Legette was selected by the Panthers with the 32nd overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft.
  • He played five years at South Carolina, making very little impact until the 2023 season.
  • Legette posted career-best numbers across the board last year:
    • 97 targets
    • 71 catches
    • 1,255 receiving yards
    • 7 receiving TDs
  • Legette’s breakout age at 22.6 is eighth percentile among drafted WRs.
  • He was near the top of the leaderboards in the SEC:
    • Second in yards per game (104.5)
    • Fourth in receptions per game (5.9)
    • Fifth in yards per catch (17.68)
  • Legette was named second-team All-SEC.
  • He measured in at 6 '1, 212 pounds at the NFL Combine and registered an outstanding 4.39 40-yard time.

What to Expect in 2024

  • Legette will play under HC Dave Canales who will be calling plays for the Panthers offense.
    • Canales was the OC for the Buccaneers last season.
    • Under Canales, the Buccaneers ranked 19th in the NFL with 568 passes.
  • Legette is unlikely to out-target WR Diontae Johnson. We’ll see if the rookie can push past Adam Thielen for the No. 2 WR job.
  • The Panthers are expected to take a step forward this year after only winning two games last season. They are fourth in the NFC South and 31st in the league with a 5.5 win total at most sportsbooks.
  • The Panthers have the worst odds in the NFL to win the Super Bowl at +25000 at most sportsbooks.

Adam Thielen, WR CAR

12:33pm EST 11/8/24

Adam Thielen Out For Week 10

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 (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.

Dynasty Write-up
You don’t come across many fifth-year breakouts. But that was the case for Legette, who turned 23 in January. Push that aside for a moment and consider the strength of his 2023 tape. Legette bullied DBs at 6’1, 219 pounds and proved effective post-catch. In fact, he tallied a monster 38.3% share of South Carolina’s team receiving yards. The 32nd overall pick, Legette won't hurt for opportunity in Carolina.
