Xavier Legette

Legette failed to make good on his coach's intimation of more targets earlier in the week, largely caused by the offense's general inability to move the football consistently against the 49ers. He continues to operate as the clear WR2 behind standout rookie Tetairoa McMillan, a role that isn't likely to return consistent fantasy production considering the run-leaning nature of Dave Canales' offense. That doesn't change ahead of a Week 13 clash with the Rams.

That places Legette in line to play on Monday Night Football against the 49ers. Legette managed just 55% of the offensive snaps while dealing with a hip injury in Week 11 but could return to a more robust role against the injury-riddled San Francisco defense. Fantasy managers in a bind due to bye weeks can comfortably start the second-year receiver as a viable FLEX option.

Legette has a little more helium than usual this week as a FLEX play considering Canales told reporters on Monday that there's a "focused effort" to get him more targets. Playing against an injury-ravaged 49ers defense doesn't hurt, either. It's worth considering in 14-team leagues, certainly.

Well, hard to argue with the results after a 4/83/1 line on eight targets against the Falcons helped lead to a 30-points explosion, but a bit of a weird flex since Legette has been useless for most of the fantasy season. This does give Legette some FLEX appeal in Week 12 against the 49ers, but it also comes with the warning that he exited Sunday's game with a hip injury that bears monitoring this week.

Legette (hip) caught four of eight targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 overtime win over the Falcons.
