Who Should I Start? Devaughn Vele or Jaylin Lane

Friday, December 19, 2:45 PM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Devaughn Vele (shoulder) has been placed on injured reserve, ending his season before the team's Week 16 matchup with the Jets. Vele suffered the season-ending shoulder injury during the fourth quarter of a Week 15 win over the Panthers and had already been ruled out for Sunday. Vele had established a strong rapport with rookie quarterback Tyler Shough, regularly seeing target shares in the high-teens to mid-20s, and his absence should see tight end Juwan Johnson step in as the team's number two pass-catching option behind Chris Olave. Olave, who has seen double-digit targets only once since Shough took over as starter, but has found the endzone in three of his last five games, could once again see the type of heavy volume that defined his early season and is RotoBaller's WR11 for Week 16.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jaylin Lane (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Lane made an early exit in the first quarter due to an ankle injury. The rookie wideout has now been officially ruled out for the second half of this contest. Lane didn't register any offensive stats before exiting this contest. His absence won't have a huge impact on this offense, given he hasn't recorded a catch since Week 11. The departure of Lane should mean increased snaps for Treylon Burks and Chris Moore for the rest of the second half.
