Who Should I Start? Joshua Palmer or Xavier Legette

Saturday, December 27, 10:54 AM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer struggled in Week 16, catching his only target for two yards in the Bills' victory over the Cleveland Browns. Despite both Gabe Davis and Keon Coleman being healthy inactive last week, Palmer failed to capitalize on his opportunities. Palmer has dealt with injuries in his first season in Buffalo, suffering a high-ankle sprain that cost him four weeks earlier in the season. The Bills face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17, who have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Star cornerback Quinyon Mitchell is likely to shadow the top receiver in Buffalo, and that assignment could be Palmer. With him already struggling entering this brutal matchup, Palmer is in a tough spot this week.

Xavier Legette caught one pass for three yards in the Carolina Panthers' 27-10 loss against the Seattle Seahawks. The Carolina WR finished the game with 1.3 PPR points. It was his fifth consecutive game with fewer than 6.0 PPR points scored. In Week 18, the Panthers face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a winner-take-all game for the NFC South title. The Buccaneers ranked sixth in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to the WR Position in the last four weeks leading up to Week 17. In Week 16 against Tampa Bay, Legette had one reception for 12 yards and 2.2 PPR points scored. Legette has seen 5+ targets in only three games since Week 5, and he has averaged 4.3 targets per game this season. Legette is not a consideration for those still playing in Week 18 or DFS bargain hunters. He doesn't have much dynasty appeal, either.
