Xavier Legette

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Xavier Legette (toe) is expected to play in Week 9 against the Saints.

Legette was added to the injury report with the toe issue mid-week, causing some concern for his Week 9 availability. He was limited in Thursday and Friday’s practices before being listed as questionable. With Diontae Johnson traded and Adam Thielen still out, Legette is now the Panthers’ de facto WR1. His volume in that role should be enough to keep the rookie on the WR3 periphery for fantasy purposes. UDFA rookie Jalen Coker is the team’s No. 2 receiver.
