News: 4 days agoLance turned five targets into a seven-yard catch during the Saints' 45-24 loss to the Falcons on Monday.

Spin: Lance finished fifth on the Saints in targets from quarterback Tyler Shough, though each of the four misses between the duo came on deep passes. After catching three of four targets for 42 yards in his NFL debut against the Lions in Week 1, Lance has just two catches (on nine targets) for 15 yards over his last three games. He'll continue to operate as the Saints' WR3 behind Chris Olave and Devaughn Vele. Lance's playing time likely will take a significant hit once fellow rookie Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) is cleared to return from injured reserve, though ESPN's Adam Schefter notes that Week 7 against the Steelers is the earliest targeted return for Tyson. The Saints will stay at home for Week 5 against the Vikings and their aggressive defense.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Lance was selected by the Saints in the fourth round of April's draft. Trey's little brother is the lone wide receiver in this rookie class who didn't play a single snap at the FBS level. However, he was productive as a perimeter receiver at North Dakota State, posting receiving lines of 75-1,053-17 and 51-1,079-8 over the last two seasons. He's a year or so older than most of his classmates, but he dominated at the combine with terrific showings in the 40-yard dash (4.34), vertical (41.5) and broad jump (133). He has the size and skillset to handle New Orleans' No. 3 gig behind Chris Olave and Devaughn Vele until first-round rookie Jordyn Tyson returns from injury. Lance's primary value is in dynasty leagues.
