Who Should I Start? Robert Woods or Xavier Legette

Tuesday, September 2, 9:39 PM

The Pittsburgh Steelers have released veteran wide receiver Robert Woods from their practice squad, per an announcement from the team. Woods played in 15 games for the Houston Texans in 2024, recording 20 catches for 203 yards. The 33-year-old has been a steadily productive NFL receiver for over a decade, but he could be nearing the end of the road. Pittsburgh does not have much proven wide receiver depth behind top wideout DK Metcalf, so giving up on Woods could be telling of just how little juice the veteran has left in the tank. Even if Woods signs elsewhere, he should remain off the fantasy radar in 2025.

Xavier Legette caught one pass for 12 yards and totaled 2.2 PPR points in Week 16 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Carolina WR remains a non-factor in fantasy football right now. He has logged four consecutive games with under 6.0 PPR points. In Week 17, Legette has a tougher matchup against the Seahawks. Seattle ranks 12th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to the WR position this season. Regardless of the matchup, Legette does not warrant a lineup spot in any fantasy football championship games. Legette has seen 5+ targets in only three games since Week 5, and he has averaged 4.5 targets per game this year. With underwhelming fantasy totals and inconsistent volume, fantasy players will continue to ignore Legette at the end of the season.
