Devaughn Vele vs MIN — Carving Out a Reliable Slot Role

Devaughn Vele has emerged as a key weapon in the Saints' offense, operating as the starting slot receiver. With quarterback Tyler Shough airing it out at a high rate, Vele has commanded 15 targets over his last two contests, catching nine passes. Fantasy managers have taken note, driving his roster rate up to 83% after consistent early-season involvement.

Facing an undefeated Vikings squad at home, New Orleans should remain active through the air. Our weekly projection slots Vele for 10.5 fantasy points on four receptions and 46 receiving yards across roughly six targets. Given his steady target share, he profiles as a viable PPR flex option with a dependable reception floor.
