Xavier Legette
WR - Carolina Panthers
Availability
Panthers coach Dave Canales said Xavier Legette is now day-to-day.
Fantasy Impact
Legette was considered week-to-week last week, so it is an upgrade for his status. Canales added that it will take "significant improvement" over the next couple of days for Legette to be ready for the Buccaneers game on Sunday.
Xavier Legette (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact
The Panthers will be without Legette on Sunday. This was expected, as he's currently dealing with a mildly serious hip injury and needs time to rest and recover. Jalen Coker (quad) and David Moore (concussion) are both candidates to see more work while he's out.
Xavier Legette (hip) missed practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Legette was unable to practice on Thursday. He didn't practice on Wednesday either, and it is expected that his hip injury will leave him sidelined in Week 16. Jalen Coker (quad) is a prime candidate to see more work if Legette is sidelined.
Xavier Legette (hip) was officially absent from Carolina's practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
The rookie is dealing with a hip injury right now. He missed Wednesday's practice because of it, and he's reportedly considered week-to-week right now and a longshot to play in Week 16. His likely absence will lead to more opportunities for Jalen Coker against the Cardinals.
Carolina Panthers WR Xavier Legette is likely to be out in Week 16 due to a groin injury, according to head coach Dave Canales. He will be considered week-to-week for the rest of the season.
Fantasy Impact
With just three weeks left in the season, the Panthers are not likely to rush Legette back onto the field during a lost year (3-11), but this stretch is still crucial for the rookie. He has had some ups and downs, and given his general lack of in-game experience in college despite being a five-year player, getting more snaps this season will be important for Legette — not just for his future but for Carolina's evaluation of him. For fantasy football purposes, his time on re-draft rosters might be done, paving more opportunities for WRs Adam Thielen and Jalen Coker.
