Who Should I Start? Ray-Ray McCloud III or Xavier Legette

Sunday, November 9, 12:29 AM

According to Dan Salomone of Giants.com, the New York Giants have elevated wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's matchup with the hosting Chicago Bears. McCloud III will suit up for a second consecutive game for the Giants after joining the squad roughly two weeks ago. In his debut, the 29-year-old played the second-most snaps of all New York wideouts (91%). However, he was targeted just once (1/5). While he may boast more work as he becomes more comfortable in his new surroundings, the Giants' passing offense has not found consistent success supporting multiple fantasy wide receivers. McCloud III will rank as RotoBaller's PPR WR88 for his clash with Chicago.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (hip) told reporters on Tuesday that he plans to play on Monday night against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12 despite injuring his hip late in the Week 11 overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. The 24-year-old pass-catcher had one of his best performances of the season against Atlanta before his injury, securing four catches on eight targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in what was a career day for quarterback Bryce Young. Legette will probably be limited in practice on Thursday, but it sounds like he shouldn't be in danger of sitting out for Monday's primetime game. The former first-rounder now has a 24-264-3 line on 46 targets through nine games in his sophomore season. He has been operating as the WR2 behind rookie first-rounder Tetairoa McMillan and has been an inconsistent WR4/flex for fantasy managers.
