Expect More From Tyquan Thornton In Week 2 Vs. Colts

Saturday, September 19, 7:19 AM

With the Kansas City Chiefs playing the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2, look for Tyquan Thornton to establish a role for himself in the offense after failing to do so in Week 1's win over the Denver Broncos. Thornton saw just one target and did not catch a pass in Week 1's route. Still behind Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy on the depth chart, expect Thornton to establish himself more as the No. 3 wide receiver target for the Chiefs. The Colts were blitzed by the Ravens in the opener and allowed 354 passing yards to Baltimore. The Chiefs have an explosive offense with many mouths to feed including running backs Kenneth Walker and Emmett Johnson along with tight end Travis Kelce. Despite the slow start, look for Thornton to get more involved in Week 2 in what could be another route for the Chiefs.

Devaughn Vele a Priority Waiver Add After Another Encouraging Outing

Monday, September 21, 9:25 AM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Devaughn Vele was targeted six more times in Sunday's win over the Ravens, collecting five receptions for 64 yards. With one Week 2 game still to be played, Vele sits as the fantasy WR18 on the season, and as long as rookie receiver Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) remains sidelined, the third-year veteran can be trusted to provide a usable floor. In Kellen Moore's up-tempo offense, quarterback Tyler Shough has attempted the second-most passes through two weeks and leads the league with 662 yards; along with Chris Olave and tight end Juwan Johnson, Vele is one of three New Orleans pass-catchers to top 50 receiving yards in both games this season. Vele was considered a priority add last week, so he may not be available in most leagues, but he should be scooped up wherever he remains unrostered.
