Devaughn Vele vs. Cleveland — Dependable Slot Target at Home
Vele is completely healthy and locked into New Orleans' starting slot receiver role catching passes from Tyler Shough. He has carved out steady weekly involvement in the passing attack, having hauled in all five targets for 54 yards and a score in his most recent contest.
Our weekly projection forecasts Vele for 3.5 receptions and 38 receiving yards on nearly six targets (8.8 fantasy points). While rostered in roughly 73% of leagues, fantasy managers currently start him in only 17%, making him a floor-based PPR flex streamer or deep-league option at home.

Austin Ekeler vs. Rams — Modest Complementary Role Limits Weekly Ceiling
Ekeler has worked his way back into Washington's backfield rotation following his Achilles recovery, operating primarily behind Rachaad White while starter Jacory Croskey-Merritt remains sidelined. Though he managed eight carries for 36 yards in his last outing against Philadelphia, he remains locked into a minor complementary role.
Our weekly projection tabs Ekeler for roughly 18 rushing yards on four to five carries, paired with a single catch for 12 yards (5.7 fantasy points). With fantasy rostership hovering around 6% and start rates under 2%, he lacks the guaranteed touch volume to be viable in standard lineups and should remain on fantasy benches.
