Outlook Brock Bowers
Brock Bowers at Chargers — Day-to-day status brings Week 2 optimism
Bowers missed Week 1 following a minor meniscus procedure on September 9, but head coach Klint Kubiak categorized him as day-to-day with a realistic chance to play. He was seen walking unaided, and reports indicate the knee issue is not overly serious. Still officially listed as questionable, fantasy managers should check back often for late-week practice participation updates.
If active, Bowers immediately reclaims lead duties atop the tight end depth chart ahead of Michael Mayer. Facing a Chargers defense in an indoor road environment, our projections peg him for around eight targets and 55 receiving yards (about 13 fantasy points). Despite slight snap-management risk, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats if cleared.

Outlook Devaughn Vele
Devaughn Vele at Baltimore — Slot Target Poised for PPR Value in a Trailing Script
Devaughn Vele stepped into a prominent role as New Orleans' starting slot receiver in Week 1, hauling in seven of nine targets for 69 yards and a touchdown. With Jordyn Tyson sidelined on injured reserve and the Saints seeking perimeter answers opposite Chris Olave, Vele demonstrated instant rapport with quarterback Tyler Shough and operated as a reliable intermediate safety valve.
Fantasy managers have noticed his sudden emergence, pushing his roster rate up toward 46% this week. Facing the Ravens as 8.5-point road underdogs, New Orleans should lean heavily on the pass. Our weekly models project Vele for approximately 3.8 receptions and 43 yards (9.6 fantasy points), making him a viable PPR flex streamer with room for more volume.
