Ted Hurst vs. Green Bay — Expanding Role Facing Quarterback Questions

Hurst steps into an elevated role on the outside after teammate Jalen McMillan was sidelined with a knee injury. The rookie caught a 40-yard touchdown last week and drew 10 targets over his past two games, earning trust in the offense. However, starting quarterback Baker Mayfield is out with a thumb injury, leaving backup Jalon Daniels to direct the passing attack.

Our weekly projection slates Hurst for roughly 2 catches and 28 yards (5.9 fantasy points) against the Packers. While his deep-play ability and starting role provide intrigue, the quarterback change significantly caps his floor and efficiency. Rostered in just 3% of leagues, he remains a bench stash or deep-league option rather than a lineup recommendation.

Devaughn Vele vs. ATL — Carving Out a Reliable Role in the Saints' Passing Attack

Vele operates as New Orleans' primary slot receiver and has earned consistent volume through the first three games, drawing 22 total targets and catching 15 passes for 172 yards and a touchdown. With fellow wideout Jordyn Tyson sidelined on injured reserve, Vele has cemented everyday snaps alongside Chris Olave in three-receiver sets.

Our weekly projection puts Vele around 10.5 fantasy points on roughly 4 catches and 45 yards in a competitive home matchup against Atlanta. His roster percentage has surged to nearly 88%, making him a dependable, high-floor Flex option in PPR formats even though his starting rate sits around 35%.
