Who Should I Start? Jayden Reed or Devaughn Vele

Sunday, November 24, 10:24 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed was a minor part of the Packers' 38-10 blowout of the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. Reed has struggled with consistency all season and in Week 12, it was no different as he earned just three targets, catching all three of them for 26 yards. With the targets for the Packers spread out, Reed's three targets tied Christian Watson for second on the team. Despite that, his low production is no doubt souring fantasy managers who thought they would be getting more big plays out of the second-year pro from Michigan State. With a short turnaround to Thanksgiving Night where the Packers host the Miami Dolphins in Week 13, consider Reed a high-end WR3 for fantasy purposes.

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Devaughn Vele caught six of his nine targets for a season-high 80 yards in the 29-19 win over the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday in Week 12 action. Vele has quietly become rookie quarterback Bo Nix's second-favorite target through the air behind Courtland Sutton in recent weeks. The 26-year-old seventh-round selection out of Utah was second on the team on the day with his six receptions and nine targets behind Sutton. Vele is suddenly becoming interesting in fantasy with Nix continuing to improve as a passer, making Vele at least worth a look for receiver depth in deeper fantasy leagues. However, with Josh Reynolds (hand) getting closer to a return from Injured Reserve, it could put a damper on Vele's volume as he also continues to battle for targets with rookie Troy Franklin, Marvin Mims Jr. and Lil'Jordan Humphrey.
