Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette is on injured reserve. Carolina made the move after Legette missed last week's loss to the Browns with a knee injury, and the designation will cost him several more games.
Fantasy managers who stashed Legette can move on. In redraft leagues, injured reserve means burning a roster spot on a player who won't see the field for weeks, which makes him a drop in all but the deepest formats. Dynasty and keeper leagues are the only place he's worth holding, and the knee adds risk to a profile that already needed a healthy season to pay off.
The real question is who takes his snaps. The answer isn't obvious from Carolina's roster, and that matters more than Legette's own value. Watch the snap counts in the Panthers' next game before spending waiver priority on any of his replacements. If one receiver jumps from a rotational role to a full-time one, that's the add.
My call: Legette is a cut in redraft, a hold in dynasty, and anyone chasing his vacated targets this week is guessing.
