Gardner Minshew at Seattle: Takes the Reins in Tough Division Matchup
Gardner Minshew was officially named the starting quarterback heading into Week 9 after providing an immediate spark off the bench against Dallas, tossing 188 yards and three touchdowns. However, his first start comes in a hostile road environment at Lumen Field with light rain, breezy conditions, and a depleted backfield missing Jeremiyah Love.
With Arizona listed as a heavy road underdog, game script could prompt elevated passing volume, but our models project a modest 195 passing yards and 1.2 touchdowns (12.0 fantasy points). Rostered in just 2% of leagues, Minshew is best viewed as a bench option in standard formats and merely a desperation streamer in 2QB setups.

Devaughn Vele vs CLE — Reliable Slot Role Offers Steady PPR Floor
Operating as New Orleans' primary slot receiver, Vele has established a steady role alongside Chris Olave. Fresh off catching all five targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in his last contest, the third-year receiver has already surpassed his 2025 statistical totals. Fully healthy heading into a home dome matchup against Cleveland, his short-to-intermediate volume remains bankable.
Our models project Vele for approximately 9.2 fantasy points on nearly four catches and 39 yards. While his start rate has dropped to 11% across leagues, his consistent five-to-six target baseline gives him utility in deeper formats. In a controlled home environment, Vele shapes up as a serviceable PPR flex option who offers floor over ceiling.
