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.

Diontae Johnson, WR CAR

12:43pm EDT 10/25/24

Diontae Johnson & Adam Thielen Out For Week 8

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.

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.
