Who Should I Start? Robert Woods or Xavier Legette

Tuesday, February 17, 1:08 PM

Wide receiver Robert Woods announced his retirement from professional football on Tuesday on his Instagram, according to Omar Ruiz of the NFL Network. Woods was with the Pittsburgh Steelers in training camp last summer but requested his release before the start of the regular season, and he never latched on with another team. The 33-year-old wraps up a successful 12-year NFL career, having caught 683 of his 1,093 targets for 8,233 yards and 38 touchdowns in 171 regular-season games played. Woods was originally a second-round pick in 2013 out of USC by the Buffalo Bills, and he played the first four years of his career with the Bills. He won a Super Bowl ring with the Los Angeles Rams in 2021. In Woods' final NFL campaign in 2024 with the Houston Texans, he caught 20 of 30 targets for 203 yards and no touchdowns.

A first-round pick in 2024, Carolina wide receiver Xavier Legette has yet to top 500 receiving yards or four touchdowns in either of his professional seasons. While he has shown the occasional flash, he looks to be heading in the wrong direction on the Panthers ' depth chart heading into 2026. Offensive Rookie of the Year Tetairoa McMillan led the team in almost all statistical categories in 2025, while Jalen Coker has been prioritized over Legette whenever he's healthy. With Coker seeing career highs in targets, receptions, and yards in Carolina's Wild Card playoff loss, and the Panthers regularly tied to the position in a wide receiver-heavy draft, Legette's value continues to slide. Quarterback Bryce Young has yet to hit 3,300 yards or 25 passing touchdowns through his first three seasons, making a meaningful fantasy impact nearly impossible for any receiver that dips too far from the top of the depth chart.
