Devaughn Vele News
Friday, June 12, 8:28 AM
Across 13 games in 2025, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Devaughn Vele recorded 25 catches for 293 yards and two touchdowns on 39 targets. Vele played a minimal role in his team's passing game early in the year, but he emerged as a larger piece after the Saints traded wide receiver Rashid Shaheed to the Seattle Seahawks at the 2025 trade deadline. Across a four-game stretch from Week 12 to Week 15, Vele recorded 19 receptions for 236 yards and a score on 26 targets. However, Vele suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in Week 15 and may now be facing another uphill battle for playing time in New Orleans in 2026. The Saints were aggressive in pursuing wide receiver talent in the 2026 NFL Draft, using a first-round pick on Jordyn Tyson and day three selections on wideouts Bryce Lance and Barion Brown. Although Vele is only in his third NFL campaign, he's already entering his age-29 season and likely offers limited upside for dynasty managers.

Chimere Dike News
Wednesday, June 10, 8:35 AM
After being selected in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike flashed some encouraging signs as a rookie. Across 17 games (10 starts), the 24-year-old hauled in 48 catches for 423 yards and four touchdowns on 74 targets while also earning a first-team All-Pro selection for his work as a kick returner. However, Dike's playing-time outlook in Tennessee heading into 2026 is trending downward after the team's aggressive offseason. The Titans used the fourth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on wide receiver Carnell Tate, signed wideout Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency, and will get veteran wide receiver Calvin Ridley back after he played just seven games in 2025 due to injury. Dike's value on special teams should assure him of a roster spot with the Titans, but he may be entering training camp in a battle for the team's WR4 spot with fellow 2025 fourth-rounder Elic Ayomanor. In dynasty leagues where his rookie-season production may be inflating his value, managers may want to explore selling high on Dike.
