Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith said there could be more opportunities for Roman Wilson and the team's other receivers going forward, depending on the health of Calvin Austin III (shoulder), who left the Week 4 win over the Minnesota Vikings in Ireland with a shoulder injury. Wilson had played at least 17% of the offensive snaps in the first three weeks of the season, but that number fell to 6% in Sunday's win over Minnesota. The 24-year-old hasn't been targeted in three of four games this year, catching one of his two targets for seven yards in the Week 2 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Pittsburgh has its bye in Week 5, so it's entirely possible that Austin will be ready to go in Week 6 against the division-rival Cleveland Browns, thus relegating Wilson to a low-volume role yet again.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Devaughn Vele (hip) is officially active for Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Buffalo Bills. He had been listed as questionable after logging three limited practices this week. The 27-year-old has merely occupied a depth role when healthy, catching two passes for 16 yards through two games, though he did add a touchdown. He and Trey Palmer will continue to compete for the No. 4 role behind established receivers Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, and Brandin Cooks. Vele can be left on waivers in all fantasy leagues.
