Devaughn Vele Could See Bigger Role in Week 2

Friday, September 18, 8:54 PM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Devaughn Vele stepped up as the WR2 behind Chris Olave in Week 1's battle against the Detroit Lions, recording seven receptions on nine targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in the overtime loss. Surprisingly, Vele led the Saints' receiver room in snap percentage at 91%, playing five more snaps than Olave and 20 more than rookie receiver Bryce Lance. With Olave officially questionable with a hamstring injury, Vele would step in as the team's WR1 against a tough Ravens defense that allowed just 166 passing yards in Week 1 against Daniel Jones and the Indianapolis Colts. If Olave does suit up, Vele should still have some appeal in deeper leagues, coming in at WR43 in Nick Mariano's Week 2 rankings. If Olave is ruled out, Vele becomes a viable WR3 with additional upside.

Tetairoa McMillan Looking to Stay Productive Against The Falcons

Friday, September 18, 7:34 PM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan caught five of eight targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 59-37 loss to the Chicago Bears. While McMillan was productive, he took a backseat to teammate Jalen Coker (ankle), who caught eight passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's loss. Coming off a rookie season where McMillan racked up 1,014 receiving yards and seven touchdowns, the 23-year-old is Carolina's WR1 and will look to reprise that role even with Coker cleared to play in Week 2 against the Falcons. Atlanta limited the Steelers to just 221 passing yards in the regular-season opener, but will have a tall task trying to slow a red-hot Panthers offense that erupted for 37 points last Sunday. McMillan is ranked WR23 in the latest RotoBaller Week 2 rankings and is a strong WR2 heading into fantasy football in Week 2.
