Devaughn Vele News
Tuesday, May 5, 7:46 AM
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Devaughn Vele entered this offseason as one of the biggest sleepers in dynasty fantasy football. In his final four games of 2025, Vele had caught 19 passes for 239 yards and one touchdown. He averaged 12.2 points per game in PPR leagues during that span, ranking as the overall WR21. It seemed like he might be a breakout candidate in 2026, but that trajectory came crashing down as the Saints added two receivers in the NFL Draft. Now, Vele is behind Chris Olave and Jordyn Tyson on the depth chart, and he could also end up behind rookie Bryce Lance, who has the speed necessary to fill a Rashid Shaheed-esque role in New Orleans. It's a disappointing development for managers who acquired Vele at a low cost this offseason. With that said, he's still worth holding in deeper leagues, as he's proven that he can handle volume. This Saints' offense is quickly trending up, so he could still get onto the WR3/flex radar if Olave or Tyson were to miss any time.

Chimere Dike News
Monday, May 4, 7:36 AM
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike's dynasty value may be reduced after the team brought in elite competition via the NFL Draft. The Titans selected Carnell Tate fourth overall, in a move that completely reset the wide receiver pecking order in Tennessee. Tate will be the immediate No. 1 receiver, while offseason signing Wan'Dale Robinson slots into the No. 2 role. That leaves Dike, Elic Ayomanor, and Calvin Ridley all competing for the third spot on the depth chart. Even if Dike wins that job, he won't have a whole lot of fantasy appeal in a Cameron Ward-led offense that could continue to experience growing pains. At the same time, there's also a chance he falls to fifth on the depth chart. Sure, Dike was the WR50 last year with 48 catches, 423 yards, and four touchdowns, but he had fewer yards than Ayomanor and he has a far less established track record than Ridley. The dynasty outlook is bleak for Dike as long as he remains in Tennessee.
