Devaughn Vele Week 3 Outlook - Raiders at Saints

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 24th 2026, 1:35pm EDT

After two games, Devaughn Vele has been the WR15 in fantasy points per game. In the Saints pass happy offense, he has had a 17.8% target share with 1.49 YPRR, a 22.7% first-read share, two red zone targets, and two deep targets. The per-route metrics aren't amazing, but he's seeing a solid market share of the offense and high-cholesterol usage. Vele is a strong flex again this week against a pass defense that has allowed the second-most yards per target and ranked 16th in fantasy points per target against slot receivers.
