Devaughn Vele vs. PIT in Paris — Consistent Slot Role Offers High-Floor FLEX Value

Vele continues to serve as an intermediate staple for New Orleans, operating as the primary slot receiver alongside Chris Olave. He has commanded 12 targets across his last two games, solidifying consistent involvement in the offense as the Saints travel overseas to take on Pittsburgh.

Rostered in 86% of leagues and started in 44%, Vele profiles as a dependable WR3 or flex option in PPR formats. Our models project roughly 3.7 receptions on nearly six targets for 39 receiving yards (10.1 fantasy points), giving fantasy managers a stable floor despite modest big-play potential.

Kyle Williams vs. Jets: Volatile Deep Threat Eyeing Opportunities

Kyle Williams built momentum after securing three receptions for 91 yards and a touchdown in his last outing, highlighted by a 49-yard strike from Drake Maye. With Mack Hollins on injured reserve and A.J. Brown still working back from an ankle sprain, Williams continues to see rotational snaps on the perimeter.

Despite his big-play efficiency, Williams remains a low-volume option in New England's passing attack. Our weekly projection forecasts roughly 1.6 catches for 25 yards on 3.6 targets (5.1 fantasy points). Started in just 1% of leagues, fantasy managers should view Williams strictly as a volatile dart-throw play in deep formats.
