Devaughn Vele

Since Week 12, Devaughn Vele has had an 18.1% target share with 65 receiving yards per game, 1.55 yards per route run, and a 16.7% first-read share. In those two games, Vele had two red zone targets and two deep targets. Last week, he was the WR7 in weekly scoring, securing all eight of his targets with 93 receiving yards and a score. Since Week 10, Tampa Bay has utilized single high at the third-highest rate (63.1%). Since Week 12, against single high, Vele has been a distant third in the target pecking order against single high with a 17.9% target share, 1.29 yards per route run, and an 11.1% first-read share. Vele is a decent flex play this week, but I wouldn't expect a repeat of last week's stat line in Week 14. Since Week 9, Tampa Bay has allowed the 12th-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

Devaughn Vele's role in the Saints' passing attack has been growing. In Week 12, he had a 16.2% target share with an uninspiring 37 scoreless receiving yards. In Week 13, he took another step forward with a standout game. Against the Dolphins' improved secondary, he had a 21% target share with 93 receiving yards and a score. Vele doesn't have overwhelmingly bad matchups across the next three weeks. If Vele continues to see a weekly target shave hovering in the 20% range, he'll be a decent PPR Flex play.
