"Legette is eyeing a second-year leap following a rookie campaign with mixed results. The 2024 first-round pick posted a route participation of at least 59% in 11 games in his first season. He handled a healthy 21% of the targets (6.4 per game) and 30% of the team's air yards, but was limited to 39.3 yards and 9.8 fantasy points per game, reaching 14 points only once. Legette was near the basement of the position in YPR, YPT, YPRR and RAC. Legette is positioned for an every-down role and there are plenty of targets available behind first-round pick Tetairoa McMillan after Adam Thielen was traded to Minnesota. With Legette's pedigree and after Bryce Young's strong finish to 2024, the 24-year-old is well worth a late flier."


"Legette's three catches Saturday marked his highest total in a game since the Week 12 loss to the 49ers. The 2024 first-round pick had a costly drop in the first quarter that cost the Panthers a first down, but he was otherwise perfect the rest of the way. On the season, Legette caught 35 of 64 targets for 363 yards and three touchdowns across 15 appearances. The Panthers now need the Falcons to beat the Saints during their Week 18 clash to force a three-way tie for the NFC South title. In that scenario, Carolina would hold the tiebreaker and host a wild-card playoff game."

Trends


"The 21st overall pick back in 2023, Johnston had the look of a bust after struggling to a 38-431-2 receiving line as a rookie. Things improved under a new coaching staff in Year 2, with Johnston doubling his rookie-season target share (from 11% to 22%) and scoring eight TDs (12th most among receivers). His production was inconsistent, however, as 43% of his fantasy points came in three games and he had seven single-digit outings. He finished 39th or lower in snaps, routes, targets, catches, yards and fantasy PPG, so, if he's going to join the WR3/flex discussion, he'll need a volume boost in order to offset TD regression to the mean (4.8 xTD). That boost is unlikely, as he'll now have to battle Keenan Allen and rookie Tre Harris for work behind Ladd McConkey. Johnston is barely worth a late flier."


"Johnston got off to a slow start, but he ended up giving his day a significant boost via a team-high 60-yard catch late in the first half. The speedster finished with a team-high yardage tally and co-led the Chargers in targets as well, and Johnston is now averaging 101.5 receiving yards over his last two contests as a Week 18 road clash against the Broncos approaches."
