Injury Status: Healthy
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Devaughn Vele caught all five of his targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Week 7's loss to the Steelers. He scored the Saints' lone touchdown to tie the game at 10 heading into halftime, but the offense stalled in the second half and failed to score again. Vele continues to lead the Saints' receivers with a 91% snap rate through the first seven games. However, with rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson seemingly nearing his debut, Vele could face additional competition for targets. For now, his role in the passing offense remains consistent, as he's averaging career highs of 4.7 receptions and 49.7 receiving yards per game. He ranks WR46 this week but carries some additional upside if Tyson (hamstring) is unable to play.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Devaughn Vele will have a heavier workload early in the 2026 season since rookie wideout Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) will be out for two months with a hamstring injury. Vele's workload decreased between his rookie season with the Denver Broncos and his sophomore campaign in 2025, when he joined the Saints. Before his 2025 season ended in December with a shoulder injury, he began to see more targets and finished with 25 receptions for 293 yards and two touchdowns. Vele has sat for rest days during training camp and has not played in any of New Orleans' preseason games. Still, he inherits opportunities for regular-season play after Tyson was injured in practice. Bryce Lance and Barion Brown are still in competition for more playing time, but Vele is expected to start alongside Saints WR1 Chris Olave. Vele is ranked No. 70 on RotoBaller's fantasy WR list and has late-round sleeper potential given his opportunity for more receptions.less...
