Who Should I Start? Jahan Dotson or Xavier Legette

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson disappeared in Week 2 with two targets and one catch for six yards on Monday against the Falcons. With A.J. Brown (hamstring) ruled out of this game, Dotson was a popular waiver-wire addition this week and turned in a dud in a seemingly good spot for him. Britain Covey (six catches for 23 yards) was more involved than Dotson in this game, further frustrating those who took a flier on Dotson this week. The Penn State product, who came to the Eagles in an offseason trade with Washington, has just three targets in two games this season and is tough to trust moving forward even if Brown misses more time.

Carolina Panthers rookie first-round wide receiver Xavier Legette (foot) returned to training camp practice on Monday after missing several days with a foot injury. In addition to missing some valuable practice time at the end of last week, Legette was also forced to sit out of the preseason opener last Thursday against the New England Patriots. It remains to be seen if the 23-year-old will play in the second preseason contest this Saturday against the New York Jets. The good news is that he's now back on the field as he tries to get up to speed for his first NFL campaign in 2024. Carolina's offense should have nowhere to go but up after last year's struggles, but with the addition of Diontae Johnson and the presence of veteran Adam Thielen, Legette could have trouble being anything more than an occasional big-play threat for fantasy managers in his rookie season.
