Devaughn Vele Week 4 Outlook - Falcons at Saints

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 1st 2026, 1:35pm EDT

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.
