Who Should I Start? Alec Pierce or Xavier Legette

Wednesday, December 10, 9:32 PM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (rib) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Pierce suffered an undisclosed injury at the end of last week's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, but now we know it was a rib ailment. It doesn't appear to be anything serious with Pierce already back to being a full participant in practice. Fantasy managers should fully expect Pierce to be ready to play against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15 on Sunday on the road. His fantasy value will take a hit with quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) out for the rest of the season. Pierce isn't as appealing with either Philip Rivers or Riley Leonard (knee) making the start in a tough road matchup this weekend.

Xavier Legette logged another quiet performance in Carolina's Week 13 surprising triumph over the Los Angeles Rams. The Carolina WR caught one of his two targets for one yard. This is the second time in the last four weeks that Legette finished a game with fewer than 10 yards. The Panthers will be up against New Orleans for the second time this season in Week 15 after a bye. In the last four weeks leading up to Week 13, the Saints ranked 20th in Fantasy Points Per Game Allowed to WRs. Legette registered no fantasy points vs. the Saints in Week 10 and was targeted only once. The second-year wide receiver has finished with less than 5.0 PPR points over four of the last six weeks. It is apparent that Legette has no statistical floor, and he should not be rostered heading into the fantasy football playoffs.
