Who Should I Start? Kendrick Bourne or Xavier Legette

Friday, November 14, 11:00 AM

Across nine games played this season, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne has hauled in 31 catches for 482 yards on 42 targets. The vast majority of Bourne's production came in a two-week stretch in early October, when he recorded 15 catches for 284 yards on 20 targets. The 49ers' pass-catching corps has gotten healthier in recent weeks thanks to the returns of wide receiver Jauan Jennings and tight end George Kittle, which has shrunk Bourne's role in the offense. Over his last two games played, Bourne has recorded three catches for 53 yards on three targets. Heading into their Week 11 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco will welcome wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) back to the lineup for his first game since Week 4. Pearsall's return should only further limit Bourne's opportunities for playing time. Bourne should be off the radar of fantasy managers heading into Week 11.

Xavier Legette may not be a factor in Week 11's matchup against the Falcons. Last week against the Saints, Legette failed to catch his lone target and was held to zero fantasy points for the first time this season. Outside of Week 7 against the Jets, where he totaled 92 receiving yards, one touchdown, and 24.2 PPR Fantasy points, Legette has been an afterthought this year. The Carolina WR has yet to score over five PPR Fantasy Points outside of Week 7 and has not been targeted more than three times in the past three games. The Falcons rank eighth in Fantasy Points allowed to WRs at 27.8 per game. Considering that the Panthers will rely on their run offense against an Atlanta defense ranked 29th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to RBs, Legette likely won't be involved in the offensive flow again. He should not be considered for usage in any format.
