Who Should I Start? Dyami Brown or Xavier Legette

Tuesday, August 19, 12:19 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dyami Brown (lower body) was a full practice participant at training camp on Tuesday after he was held out of the team's second preseason game on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints with stiffness in his lower body, according to Mia O'Brien. First-round receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter (upper body) also missed Sunday's exhibition contest and is day-to-day. Jacksonville's receiving corps is a little banged up, but Brown's and Hunter's injuries aren't serious enough to put them in danger of missing Week 1 of the regular season. The 25-year-old Brown has made some noise in camp this summer as he battles for the WR3 role with Parker Washington behind Hunter and Brian Thomas Jr. He had a career-best 308 receiving yards and one touchdown in 16 games for the Commanders in 2024, but Brown will be left to the waiver wire in most 12-team fantasy formats.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette was ejected from Friday's preseason game against the Cleveland Browns after a first-quarter altercation. The 24-year-old did not record any catches or targets before being thrown out of the 30-10 loss. Legette was a first-round pick in last year's draft, with a rookie stat line of 49-49-4 on 84 targets. Panthers head coach Dave Canales acknowledged that while the play was physical, Legette's response was a liability. "You can't do that... both guys got ejected, rightfully so," Canales said, per Darin Gantt of panthers.com. The incident occurred while Legette was downfield blocking and got tangled up with Browns cornerback Rayshawn Mitchell. RotoBaller projects Legette as WR69 with a slight uptick in catches, yards, and TDs this season. He is most likely to be behind rookie stud Tetairoa McMillan and veteran Adam Thielen in targets. Still, he could emerge as an upside WR4/5 if anything happens to Thielen as the season progresses.
