Roman Wilson vs. Colts — Emerging Slot Role Offers Sneaky Upside

Wilson is completely healthy and working as Pittsburgh's starting slot receiver alongside DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. in Aaron Rodgers' offense. Despite a brief visit to the medical tent last week, he has found his rhythm, compiling 134 receiving yards and two touchdowns on 12 targets across his last two games.

Our weekly projection targets about 7.2 fantasy points on nearly five looks and 31 yards against the Colts. While he remains rostered in just 7% of leagues, his recent end-zone efficiency and consistent snap presence make him an attractive deep-league flex play with scoring upside.

Devaughn Vele vs MIN — Carving Out a Reliable Slot Role

Devaughn Vele has emerged as a key weapon in the Saints' offense, operating as the starting slot receiver. With quarterback Tyler Shough airing it out at a high rate, Vele has commanded 15 targets over his last two contests, catching nine passes. Fantasy managers have taken note, driving his roster rate up to 83% after consistent early-season involvement.

Facing an undefeated Vikings squad at home, New Orleans should remain active through the air. Our weekly projection slots Vele for 10.5 fantasy points on four receptions and 46 receiving yards across roughly six targets. Given his steady target share, he profiles as a viable PPR flex option with a dependable reception floor.
