    Devaughn Vele to outplay his draft cost (True Value : $4)

    Vele is clearly going to get a lot of playing time until the Saints get first-round rookie Jordyn Tyson back from a hamstring injury. Vele is worth your attention this week if you’re looking to plug a hole at receiver.

    Tyler Shough to outplay his draft cost (True Value : $5)

    Still, there’s a lot to like here. Shough has shown competence early in his career. He’s an aggressive downfield thrower. He adds some rushing value.

    Dalton Kincaid to outplay his draft cost

    It's wheels up for Kincaid, and he should be treated as a locked-in starter until further notice. In fact, Kincaid is a viable buy-high candidate based on his surge in playing time in Week 1 and history of efficiency.
