Who Should I Start? Parker Washington or Devaughn Vele

Sunday, January 11, 2:08 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver and kick returner Parker Washington (head) was cleared to return after being evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. The third-year receiver took a hit on a play in the first half and was walked back to the Jacksonville locker room, but passed the evaluation and earned the all-clear to return to action. Washington had a breakout finish to the regular season in which he averaged more than 100 yards and finished as a top-10 PPR receiver in each of the final three weeks. He should continue to be a pass-catching option while working alongside Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas Jr.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Devaughn Vele (shoulder) has been placed on injured reserve, ending his season before the team's Week 16 matchup with the Jets. Vele suffered the season-ending shoulder injury during the fourth quarter of a Week 15 win over the Panthers and had already been ruled out for Sunday. Vele had established a strong rapport with rookie quarterback Tyler Shough, regularly seeing target shares in the high-teens to mid-20s, and his absence should see tight end Juwan Johnson step in as the team's number two pass-catching option behind Chris Olave. Olave, who has seen double-digit targets only once since Shough took over as starter, but has found the endzone in three of his last five games, could once again see the type of heavy volume that defined his early season and is RotoBaller's WR11 for Week 16.
