Who Should I Start? Xavier Legette or Jack Bech

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.

We knew that Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Jack Bech would have a bigger role in the Week 14 game against the division-rival Denver Broncos on Sunday, with fellow rookie Dont'e Thornton Jr. ruled out with a concussion. In the 24-17 loss, Bech played a season-high 82% of the offensive snaps and led the team in targets (six), catches (six), and receiving yards (50). Four of the 22-year-old's six targets on the day came late in the fourth quarter after quarterback Kenny Pickett had already replaced the injured Geno Smith (shoulder). Bech's day wasn't huge by any means, but it marked the best performance of his rookie season, and he could continue to stay more involved in Week 15 on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles if Thornton is forced to miss another game. The second-rounder out of TCU is rostered in only 1% of Yahoo leagues.
