The Falcons will face the Carolina Panthers in their season finale, which could be crucial for their playoff aspirations. With Penix starting, the Falcons hope to improve their chances of extending their season against a divisional rival.

Dave Canales provided an update on Xavier Legette's groin injury, labeling the rookie wideout as week-to-week and indicating he is likely out for the upcoming game against the Arizona Cardinals. Canales emphasized the team's cautious approach to Legette's recovery, especially with the Panthers eliminated from playoff contention, suggesting they have little incentive to rush him back onto the field.

Adam Thielen has been a reliable option for the Panthers, achieving three double-digit fantasy performances in the past three weeks. With Legette likely sidelined, Thielen's experience and production could be crucial for the team and fantasy managers alike as they navigate the final weeks of the season.

Xavier Legette sustained a groin injury during the Week 15 loss to the Cowboys and is now considered week-to-week. With the Panthers eliminated from playoff contention, the team has little incentive to rush him back. He also has a wrist injury that will require surgery after the season, making him a risky option for fantasy managers. Fellow rookie Jalen Coker is expected to step up in Legette's absence, showcasing the potential for other receivers on the team.

Jalen Coker stepped up in Week 15, recording four catches for 110 yards and a touchdown, showcasing his potential as a key player for the Panthers. With Xavier Legette likely sidelined, Coker is positioned for a larger role, making him a top waiver-wire target for fantasy managers seeking a boost during the playoffs.
