Devaughn Vele Could Get Lost in the Shuffle

Wednesday, July 22, 5:42 PM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Devaughn Vele showed some flashes of potential last season. He hauled in 25 receptions, 293 receiving yards, and two touchdowns in 13 games last season. Those aren't bad numbers for someone who served as the third or fourth receiver behind Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed. It won't get easier for Vele with the Saints adding Jordyn Tyson and Bryce Lance through the draft this year. At best, Vele will be the distant third option in this offense next season. The 28-year-old might offer some deep league depth, but isn't someone that needs to be rostered to begin the season.

Theo Wease Jr. Evaluated for Concussion in Week 18

Sunday, January 4, 7:43 PM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Theo Wease Jr. (head) was evaluated for a concussion during the fourth quarter of Sunday's Week 18 loss against the New England Patriots. The game ended before the team was able to provide any additional information on his status. Wease did not return; he finished the contest with three catches for a team-high 44 receiving yards. The 24-year-old put together an impressive end to his rookie season, catching six passes for 139 yards and one touchdown over his final three games. He took on an expanded role with Tyreek Hill (knee) on injured reserve and Darren Waller (groin) and Jaylen Waddle (ribs) suffering late-season injuries. Wease should be in the mix to handle a larger workload during his second pro season next year.
