Devaughn Vele vs. Steelers — Volume-Dependent Flex Option in Paris

Devaughn Vele continues to operate as New Orleans' starting slot receiver alongside Chris Olave in the passing attack with Tyler Shough under center. Over his past two contests, Vele has commanded 12 targets, turning that steady intermediate volume into seven receptions for 68 yards as a reliable chain-mover.

Heading into Sunday's neutral-site clash against Pittsburgh in Paris, our weekly projection forecasts Vele for 10.1 fantasy points on roughly four catches, 39 receiving yards, and 5.8 targets. With his fantasy start rate hovering near 29%, Vele represents a viable floor-based flex streamer in PPR leagues who depends on volume over big plays.
