Expert Note
View More NotesIn the Saints' pass-happy offense, Devaughn Vele is the WR29 in fantasy points per game with a 16.5% target share, 1.33 YPRR, six red zone targets, eight deep targets, and a 21.2% first-read share. Vele has at least 50 receiving yards and a score in three games this season. This week, he'll face a Browns defense that has the highest single high rate in the NFL (75.7%). Against single-high, Vele has seen his TPRR increase from 15% to 20% and his YPRR jump to 2.02. Vele is a strong flex again this week. Over their last five games, Cleveland has allowed the 11th-most yards per target and receiving fantasy points per game to slot receivers.
Player News
View More NewsDevaughn Vele caught all five of his targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 16-10 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Vele caught the Saints' only touchdown in this game, very much helping out his final fantasy line. He was one of four Saints to finish between 57 and 54 receiving yards, joining Barion Brown, Alvin Kamara, and Chris Olave. Vele has been a great waiver pickup for the first half of the season, but with the Saints going on bye and Jordyn Tyson expected back soon after it, it could be tough for Vele to have much relevance moving forward.
