News: 3 days agoLance caught two of four targets for 28 yards in Friday's 27-24 preseason win over the Cowboys.

Spin: Lance was drafted in the fourth round out of North Dakota State, but he has been outperformed by sixth-round pick Barion Brown throughout training camp and the preseason. Brown upstaged Lance again Friday by scoring a seven-yard rushing touchdown in the first quarter. Both rookie Day 3 picks have a chance to contribute out of the gate, as rookie first-round pick Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) is expected to miss about two months, leaving Lance, Brown and Devaughn Vele as the top options behind Chris Olave.

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.
