Devaughn Vele News
Friday, October 23, 9:36 PM
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Devaughn Vele recorded three receptions for 42 yards in Week 6's win over the Giants. He continues to lead the Saints' receivers in playing time, logging a 92% snap share compared to 58% for Chris Olave and 36% for Bryce Lance against New York. Vele also maintains a consistent role in the passing game, recording at least six targets and three receptions in every game this season. He faces a tough matchup against a Steelers defense allowing the sixth-fewest PPR points to opposing wide receivers and the seventh-fewest passing yards per game at 204.3. Vele's upside may depend on finding the end zone, but his consistent involvement gives him a solid fantasy floor. He ranks as WR29 in RotoBaller's rankings this week.

Matthew Golden News
Friday, October 23, 1:12 PM
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden enters Sunday's Week 7 matchup against Detroit following consecutive 100-yard receiving performances. Golden led Green Bay with 13 targets against Dallas last week, catching six passes for 104 yards and his third touchdown of the season. He has recorded 30 receptions for 501 yards through six games, drawing at least 12 targets in three contests. Detroit has allowed an NFL-high 297.4 passing yards per game, providing another favorable matchup for Green Bay's passing attack. However, Detroit leads the league with 20 sacks, which could limit Jordan Love's downfield opportunities. Christian Watson remains a key part of the passing game, so Golden's 13-target workload may not repeat. Golden (shoulder) was limited throughout the week but carries no injury designation for Sunday, and head coach Matt LaFleur expressed no concern about his availability. RotoBaller ranks Golden WR6 for Week 7, one spot ahead of Watson. His consistent production and expanding role make him a must-start WR1 against Detroit.
