Who Should I Start? Jahan Dotson or Devaughn Vele

Friday, October 24, 10:53 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson will likely step up as second-in-command at his position this week with A.J. Brown sidelined. Typically, Jalen Hurts only gives his top two WRs and Dallas Goedert any notable amount of targets, so with DeVonta Smith sliding into the definitive No.1 slot, there's an opening for some new blood. Dotson has been the third-most productive WR this season for Philly, tallying 111 yards and seven catches on 12 targets. He will line up against the New York Giants on Sunday, who give up the third-most fantasy points to WRs this season. While other offensive weapons will likely take precedent, Dotson is an option for deeper leagues as an emergency FLEX.

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.
