Devaughn Vele

The Saints placed Devaughn Vele on injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact

Vele will miss the rest of the season. He finishes the year having caught 25 passes for 293 yards and two touchdowns after being traded to the Saints mid-season.

Devaughn Vele (shoulder) has been ruled out for the Saints game against the Jets on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Vele was having a bit of a breakout the last few weeks, but that is now on hold. Mason Tipton will likely fill the WR2 role in the offense, but the vacated targets will likely find their way to Chris Olave, Juwan Johnson, and the running backs than Tipton himself seeing a large bump in usage.

The Saints say WR Devaughn Vele is considered week-to-week with a shoulder injury.

Fantasy Impact

Vele avoided a major injury to his shoulder. It is unclear if he will return for the final three games this season.

Devaughn Vele caught five of six targets for 69 yards in the Saints' 20-17 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Vele occupied the WR2 role for the Saints offense behind Chris Olave once again and produced. He's thrived in the role over the last three weeks and should be an interesting flex option for the rest of the fantasy playoffs.

Devaughn Vele caught 3-of-5 targets for 40 yards in the Saints 24-20 win over Tampa Bay.

Fantasy Impact

Vele tied Chris Olave for the team lead in targets Sunday and has seen his role in the offense grow as of late. Vele has 14 receptions on 20 targets over his last three games. Fantasy managers should expect Vele to remain a focus in the Saints' passing attack heading into Week 15.
