News: 2 days agoLegette secured three of four targets for 40 yards in the Panthers' 20-17 overtime win over the Giants in Munich on Sunday.

Spin: Legette tied Jalen Coker for the team lead in receptions while falling just a yard short of his teammate's team-high figure in that category. Legette has been busy during Bryce Young's current three-game starting stint -- the wideout now sports an 11-117-2 line in that span -- and he should continue enjoying a steady role during a Week 12 home matchup against the Chiefs on Sunday, Nov. 24 following a Week 11 bye, even if Adam Thielen (IR, hamstring) returns for that contest.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: The Panthers selected Legette with the 32nd pick in the 2024 NFL draft, giving young quarterback Bryce Young another receiver to target in a retooled Carolina offense under coach Dave Canales. Veterans Adam Thielen and Diontae Johnson should still dominate targets for the Panthers, which will make it tough for the rookie to emerge this season, particularly in the early going. But Legette does have incredibly strong hands and a nice combination of both speed and power, which is why Carolina spent such a valuable pick on him. Given Young's inconsistency and the state of the team's offense last season, it's hard to see Legette breaking out as long as Thielen and Johnson are the preferred targets in front of him on the depth chart. He's a clear dynasty target and a player to keep an eye on during training camp for redraft leagues to see how his role is shaping up.
