Fantasy Football Player Notes

Despite paying Travis Etienne, this is a pass-first, second, and third team. With nothing happening in the run game, Tyler Shough has had to sling the rock around the yard. Thankfully, when you have a talented receiver like Chris Olave and a mind meld with Juwan Johnson, this isn't a bad strategy. Averaging 11 targets and 125 yards per game, Olave is tied for the league lead in targets and second in yards. This week, they face a rejuvenated Falcons offense and middling defense. The Falcons have allowed the fewest rushing yards per game; however, the fourth-most passing yards. This is perfect for an offense like the Saints. Get ready for a high-flying game this Monday Night.

Devaughn Vele was due for a down week, and it happened last week, but he is still the WR23 in fantasy points per game. Vele has a 16.7% target share with 1.32 YPRR, three red zone targets, four deep targets, and a 20.4% first-read share. Vele faces an Atlanta secondary that has utilized single high at the fifth-highest rate (64.7%). Against single high, Vele has an 18% target-per-route run rate and a strong 1.91 YPRR. Vele is a solid flex play with a tough matchup. Atlanta has held slot receivers to the fifth-fewest yards per target and the second-fewest fantasy points per opportunity this season.
