Who Should I Start? Rashid Shaheed or Xavier Legette

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed turned in his first fantasy-relevant performance as a member of the Seahawks. Shaheed did most of his damage on a punt return for a touchdown. However, it was his four receptions on five targets that were encouraging. Most importantly, Shaheed's targets were far more downfield than they have been since he joined the Seahawks. He recorded 67 receiving yards on his four catches. Fantasy managers will not be able to count on a weekly punt return for a touchdown from Shaheed, but if his targets and route participation can continue to improve, he could end up being a solid add for the fantasy football playoffs. Shaheed should not be started in Week 15; however, he should be rostered in case his involvement in the offense continues to improve. With the stretch run of the NFL season upon us, it would behoove the Seahawks to get Shaheed more involved.

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.
