News: 19 hours agoLegette failed to haul in either of his targets and returned two kickoffs for 51 yards during Carolina's loss to the Bears on Sunday.

Spin: Legette had a quiet outing despite playing 36 of the team's 68 snaps. The 2024 first-round pick will look to be more involved offensively during next week's game against the Falcons but will most likely continue to see the majority of his production come on special teams unless either Tetairoa McMillan or Jalen Coker is forced to miss time.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Legette is eyeing a Year 3 leap after a boom/bust start to his NFL career. The 2024 first-round pick flashed with 521 yards and four touchdowns on 55 touches as a rookie, but fell to 363 yards and three scores on 36 touches in 2025. Legette did post a pair of big games (24.2 points in Week 7 and 18.3 points in Week 11), but was otherwise held in check (3.6 PPG in the other 13 games). Legette has struggled with the ball in his hands (woeful 2.1 RAC in his career) and is behind Tetairoa McMillan and likely Jalen Coker on the Carolina WR depth chart. The 25-year-old will see some situational targets and carries, but he'll need a big Year 3 leap to find his way to fantasy relevance. He's no more than a late-round lottery ticket.
