Devaughn Vele Sees Season High Five Targets in Week 8

Wednesday, October 29, 12:38 AM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Devaughn Vele caught one of his five targets for 10 yards in their Week 8 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Vele played a season high 51.4% of the snaps and had his most targets in a game since Week 12 of last season with the Broncos. The 27-year-old was traded to the Saints for a fourth-round pick in late August and has mostly held a depth role through eight games, catching five of 10 targets for 39 yards and a touchdown. Barring a trade to either Chris Olave or Rashid Shaheed, Vele is unlikely to be relevant for fantasy purposes this season.

Jaylin Lane Moves Back To Depth Role For Week 8 Against Chiefs

Saturday, October 25, 9:15 PM

Washington Commanders rookie wide receiver Jaylin Lane had some positive moments in his extended opportunity in Week 7 against the Dallas Cowboys, catching three of six targets for 60 yards. Lane played easily his highest snap share of the season at 70.3% and led Washington in receiving yards. The fourth-round rookie out of Virginia Tech has been a key contributor on special teams and has made some plays on offense, with Washington dealing with injuries to their top three wide receivers. Both Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel Sr. are set to return in Week 8 against the Chiefs, likely relegating Lane back to a depth role. There is still plenty of intrigue for Lane in dynasty leagues, but he can be dropped in redraft leagues.
