Who Should I Start? Dontayvion Wicks or Devaughn Vele

Friday, October 24, 4:25 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf) has been ruled out for Week 8's matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to the team. Head coach Matt LaFleur said on Thursday that Wicks is unlikely to suit up on Sunday night and has now been officially listed as out. The 24-year-old has mostly served as a depth option in Green Bay's passing attack, recording only 13 receptions for 134 yards with no touchdowns on 20 targets this season. It does look like fellow wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) is trending in the right direction to make his season debut in Week 8, but rookie Matthew Golden (hip) popped up on the injury report Friday and is now questionable.

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.
