Who Should I Start? Xavier Legette or Tre' Harris

Xavier Legette totally disappointed fantasy players who used him as a lineup plugger in Week 8. The former first-round pick was targeted only three times by Andy Dalton and caught two passes for 17 yards. In a blowout loss to Buffalo, He carried none of last week's momentum over. When Bryce Young was the starter in Week 7, Legette caught. nine passes for 92 yards and a TD. Dalton naturally prioritized Tetairoa McMillan, and Coker had three targets to Legette's two as the backup QB struggled mightily in a 31-point loss. Head coach Dave Canales mentioned that he hopes Young will be back for Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers. If Young returns next week, the Panthers could be more statistically productive playing from behind vs. Green Bay. But the recent return of Coker may also prevent Legette from being useful at all. Outside of Week 7, Legette has not caught more than three passes in a game this season. He is a cut candidate for Week 9.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Tre' Harris took advantage of his two targets Thursday night, catching both for a total of eight yards and his first career touchdown during the team's 37-10 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The second-round draft pick out of Ole Miss played additional snaps late in the game with the Bolts leading by two touchdowns, finishing a lengthy 17-play drive with his touchdown. Harris remains buried on the depth chart, with only a 33% route rate and a 13% target share so far this year. With rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden emerging as another key target, Harris will probably need an injury to a player ahead of him to secure a significant role. He's more of a stash for dynasty leagues than a redraft pickup, especially heading into Week 9 against a struggling Tennessee Titans defense.
