Legette caught six of his 10 targets for 66 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Bengals. He added two rushes for 10 yards.
ANALYSISLegette had caught just six passes for 77 yards through his first three games in Carolina. However, the 2024 first-round pick saw more snaps with
Adam Thielen (hamstring) missing Sunday's contest, and Legette took full advantage of his increased opportunities, posting a 6-66-1 receiving line. The combination of Carolina's struggling defense (allowing over 32 points per game) and Thielen missing at least the team's next three games makes Legette an intriguing fantasy option going forward. He will continue playing behind
Diontae Johnson but is still expected to be fantasy-relevant, as
Andy Dalton has supported two strong wide-receiver performances each of the first two games he's served as the Panthers' top signal-caller.
