Xavier Legette is gaining traction as a promising fantasy football option following a standout performance against the New York Jets last week. The second-year wide receiver recorded nine receptions for 92 yards and a touchdown, marking a career high. His rapport with quarterback Andy Dalton, established last season with two touchdowns over a three-game stretch, adds to his appeal as he prepares for the upcoming game.
As the Carolina Panthers face off against the Buffalo Bills, fantasy managers are evaluating whether Legette can maintain his momentum or if his last performance was merely a fluke. Buffalo possesses a formidable defense, currently ranked 15th in allowing fantasy points per game to wide receivers over the past month; however, this presents an opportunity for Legette, especially if the Panthers find themselves trailing and in need of offensive production.
Interestingly, with several teams on a bye in Week 8, Legette has emerged as a viable streaming option for fantasy players looking to bolster their lineups. While he still has to prove he can consistently deliver solid performances, his recent showing suggests that he could become a valuable asset for those in search of wide receiver depth. As the season progresses, optimism surrounds Legette’s potential to elevate his game further.
