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.

Chris Bell News
Monday, June 15, 8:58 AM
Miami Dolphins rookie wide receiver Chris Bell (knee) may miss the start of the 2026 season as he works his way back from the torn ACL he suffered in late November. Despite the injury, the Dolphins used a third-round pick on Bell in the 2026 NFL Draft after he recorded 72 receptions for 917 yards and six touchdowns across 11 games in his final season at Louisville. Given his uncertain return timeline, dynasty managers should temper their expectations for Bell's short-term production impact. However, the 22-year-old could be well-positioned to emerge as a key piece in Miami's long-term plans. The Dolphins enter 2026 with the underwhelming veteran trio of Jalen Tolbert, Malik Washington, and Tutu Atwell at the top of their wide receiver depth chart. Along with fellow 2026 wide receiver draftees Caleb Douglas and Kevin Coleman Jr., Bell could be in line for a significant role in Miami upon his return from injury. In dynasty formats, managers should be looking to stash Bell for his long-term upside.
