Devaughn Vele Could See Bigger Role in Week 2
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Devaughn Vele stepped up as the WR2 behind Chris Olave in Week 1's battle against the Detroit Lions, recording seven receptions on nine targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in the overtime loss. Surprisingly, Vele led the Saints' receiver room in snap percentage at 91%, playing five more snaps than Olave and 20 more than rookie receiver Bryce Lance. With Olave officially questionable with a hamstring injury, Vele would step in as the team's WR1 against a tough Ravens defense that allowed just 166 passing yards in Week 1 against Daniel Jones and the Indianapolis Colts. If Olave does suit up, Vele should still have some appeal in deeper leagues, coming in at WR43 in Nick Mariano's Week 2 rankings. If Olave is ruled out, Vele becomes a viable WR3 with additional upside

Bryce Lance - Sees reps with starters Tuesday
sleeper-rotowire+1 story · 30dSource unavailable
Lance (undisclosed) returned to practice Tuesday and worked with the first-team offense in New Orleans' joint practice with Dallas, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. With Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) out several weeks and Devaughn Vele receiving a rest day Tuesday, the rookie Lance worked opposite Chris Olave as the Saints' WR2. While Vele is the favorite to open the regular season as the second wideout, Lance has a pretty clear path to early-season playing time while Tyson is sidelined. At 6-foot-3 and 204 pounds with 4.34 speed, Lance is a size-speed prospect who produced back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons at North Dakota State before being selected in the fourth round of the 2026 Draft by New Orleans

Saints rookie Jordyn Tyson reportedly out months with hamstring injury: What New Orleans can do at WR
Rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson is expected to miss approximately two months with a hamstring injury sustained in training camp. This is a significant blow for the Saints, who drafted Tyson with the No. 8 overall pick and anticipated him forming a potent duo with Chris Olave. His absence will likely elevate DeVaughn Vele and other drafted receivers like Bryce Lance and Barion Brown on the depth chart, and may prompt the Saints to explore free agency

Bryce Lance - Sits out preseason opener
sleeper-rotowire+1 story · 30dSource unavailable
Lance (undisclosed) got "banged up" in Thursday's practice and didn't play in New Orleans' preseason opener against Jacksonville on Saturday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports. According to coach Kellen Moore, Lance was available to play in an emergency situation, so it doesn't sound like he's dealing with a serious injury. The rookie wideout is slated to jockey for positioning in the Saints' WR pecking order, and he could see his role increase in importance in the scenario that fellow rookie wideout Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) needs to miss time early in the regular season

Bryce Lance Carries Long-Term Dynasty Upside into 2026
Despite being behind Chris Olave and Jordyn Tyson on the Saints' depth chart, rookie wide receiver Bryce Lance offers long-term dynasty upside due to his big-play ability and elite athleticism. Lance, a fourth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, averaged over 21 yards per reception in his final collegiate season and could fill the void left by Rashid Shaheed

Devaughn Vele Unlikely to Recreate Opportunity-Driven Late-Season Success
New Orleans wide receiver Devaughn Vele had a slow start to his Saints tenure, but was playing some of the best ball of his young career before a shoulder injury caused the team to shut him down for the final three games of the 2025 season. After showing flashes in Denver as a 2024 seventh-round pick, an influx of young talent allowed the Broncos to trade him to New Orleans ahead of his second season. While it's unlikely he'll be entirely shipped out of town again, the Saints' recent investments at the position could make it difficult to regain his starting role, having finished the year as the secondary option behind All-Pro Chris Olave. After a string of injuries left them dangerously thin at the position down the stretch, New Orleans spent three of its eight 2026 draft picks on wide receivers, including Jordyn Tyson with the eighth overall pick and intriguing size-speed prospect Bryce Lance in the fourth round. Thrust into the largest role of his career out of necessity, Vele was able to provide emergency flex viability before his injury, but with a deeper depth chart being built around him, he is not a player who should factor into 2026 draft plans, and already 28 years old heading into his third season, his dynasty prospects remain slim

Cowboys countdown to kickoff: Top 100 iconic games – Day 88
It is Day 88 of our 100-day countdown to kickoff. We are looking back at the 100 most iconic games in Dallas Cowboys history. The countdown will leads us right up to the opening game of 2026. Our look back doesn’t depend on just one criteria for our rankings. We take into consideration things like how big the game was for the organization, how memorable the game was, games that had unusual events take place, games that are a part of NFL lore, Cowboys firsts, and games where the Cowboys just plain dominated. Variety is the spice of life and we have all different kind of Cowboys games to review. At the bottom, we’ll link each day of the countdown so you can go back and check out any you missed. We welcome you to Day 88 of our 100-day countdown to kickoff, where we revisit one of the best regular-season wins of the Tony Romo era. The Cowboys went into the Louisiana Superdome as an 8-5 team under pressure, facing a 13-0 Saints team that looked unstoppable. Dallas had lost two straight games, the December narrative was closing in again, and New Orleans was chasing a perfect season. Instead, the Cowboys walked into one of the loudest buildings in football and handed the eventual Super Bowl champions their first loss of the year. Dallas made its statement immediately. Romo hit Miles Austin for a 49-yard touchdown less than four minutes into the game, and Marion Barber followed with a three-yard touchdown run to give the Cowboys a 14-0 first-quarter lead. The Saints managed only a Garrett Hartley field goal in the second quarter, while Nick Folk added a 44-yarder just before halftime to put Dallas ahead 17-3. The Cowboys kept leaning on New Orleans in the third quarter. Barber finished a long drive with a two-yard touchdown run, stretching the lead to 24-3 and putting the Saints in unfamiliar territory. Sean Payton’s team was explosive enough to rally, and it finally started to do that in the fourth quarter. Mike Bell scored from one yard out, then Drew Brees found Lance Moore for a seven-yard touchdown to cut the lead to 24-17 with eight minutes remaining. That set up the play everyone remembers. New Orleans got the ball back with a chance to tie or take the lead, but DeMarcus Ware , playing just six days after being carted off with a scary neck injury, delivered the finishing blow. Ware sacked and stripped Brees, Jay Ratliff recovered with six seconds left, and Dallas escaped with a 24-17 upset that ended the Saints’ perfect season. Romo was excellent, completing 22 of 34 passes for 312 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions. Austin caught seven passes for 139 yards and the opening score, while Barber added two rushing touchdowns. Dallas also controlled the game physically, winning time of possession 36:26 to 23:34, and converting eight of 15 third downs while holding the Saints to one from seven. This game belongs on the countdown because it was a true measuring-stick win. The Cowboys did not just beat a good team, they beat an unbeaten one, on the road, in prime time, with their season under pressure. It helped Dallas launch a late-season run that ended with an NFC East title and the franchise’s first playoff win since 1996. For one December night in New Orleans, the Cowboys looked tough, balanced, fearless, and fully capable of beating anyone. And the fans at the time felt it. The Cowboys had not beaten the Saints in 15 years before this game, making the upset even more satisfying. Their previous win over New Orleans came in December, 1994. Countdown To Kickoff by day: 100 , 99 , 98 , 97 , 96 , 95 , 94 , 93 , 92 , 91 , 90 , 89
