Devaughn Vele vs. Carolina — Slot Role Offers Modest Flex Value

Devaughn Vele operates as the Saints' primary slot receiver alongside Chris Olave and Jordyn Tyson, catching passes from Tyler Shough in a home matchup against Carolina. While Vele already surpassed his career-best totals earlier this season, his recent target share has pulled back, resulting in just two receptions for 17 yards on four looks in his last outing.

With start rates dipping to 16% across fantasy leagues, managers are treating him with caution. Our weekly projection expects around 3 receptions for 36 yards and 8.4 fantasy points. In a matchup carrying solid scoring potential, Vele profiles as a viable deep-league Flex option whose upside hinges on red-zone looks.
