Who Should I Start? Adonai Mitchell or Xavier Legette

Saturday, November 22, 11:06 AM

New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell will get another opportunity to garner an increased piece of his team's passing pie in Week 12's road outing with the Baltimore Ravens. Mitchell made his Jets' debut in last Thursday's loss to the Patriots. Despite commanding the most targets on New York's roster (six), he came away with just one catch and ten yards. Not all of that was the ex-Indianapolis Colt's fault, but he didn't help his case with a few brutal drops. With teammate Garrett Wilson (knee) out for the foreseeable future, it's the least tenured Jets' pass-catchers, Mitchell and John Metchie III, with the highest probability of emerging from the pack in his absence. For what it's worth, the latter played on more snaps in Week 11, though it's possible that fluctuates as they spend more time with the organization. Maybe Mitchell sports modest production down the stretch, but fantasy managers can avoid him outside of DFS formats for at least another week. The 23-year-old ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR72 for Sunday's contest with the hosting Ravens.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette delivered another underwhelming result in the Panthers' 20-9 defeat in Week 12 to the 49ers. The Carolina WR had three receptions for 22 yards and posted 5.2 PPR points. In 10 games played this season, Legette has logged double-digit PPR points only three times. The Panthers will next take on the Los Angeles Rams, who rank 16th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to WRs this season. However, Legette has not shown enough promise through the season to take advantage of the decent matchup. Plus, the Los Angeles pass rush may make it a very long day for Carolina QB Bryce Young. Legette registered more than 22 receiving yards only once in the past five weeks. Due to his lack of consistent quality results and volume, fantasy players should continue to leave Legette on their free agent lists.
