Kayshon Boutte Could Have a Smaller Role in Week 7

Saturday, October 24, 4:00 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Kayshon Boutte has multiple catches in each of his last five games, but he hasn't gone off as a regular fantasy producer since joining the Texans in a trade just before the season began. His window of opportunity to produce could be closing, with Marvin Harrison Jr. also added via trade and Tank Dell (knee) expected to make his return soon from an extended absence. Boutte's snap share dropped to 41% last week in London against the Jaguars and is in danger of sinking even more against the Giants in Week 7 if Dell is active and Harrison plays more. This week, Boutte is only the No. 72 WR in RotoBaller's rankings, making him hard to start in any format despite his big-play potential.

Devaughn Vele a Better Deep-League Fantasy Option for Week 9

Tuesday, November 3, 5:54 AM

New Orleans wide receiver Devaughn Vele has had a pretty solid season to this point, but a tough matchup and the possible return of a teammate make him a better deep-league option in Week 9. Vele has hauled in 33 of his 46 targets so far, going for 348 yards and three touchdowns. He had 54 yards and a touchdown across five receptions and targets in his last appearance in Week 7. He's been the team's WR2 behind Chris Olave, but rookie Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) could return this week, which could bump Vele down another peg or two. The Week 9 matchup against Cleveland is also below average, so that's another thing working against Vele, and that's why he's a better option in deeper fantasy leagues.
