Saints' Devaughn Vele: Hauls in eight passes Sunday
Vele gathered in all eight targets for 93 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 21-17 defeat against the Dolphins.
Vele delivered a standout performance in his second game since becoming the Saints' WR2. He finished second on the team in targets behind tight end Juwan Johnson (nine) and ahead of WR1 Chris Olave (seven) - the latter of whom suited up after being listed as questionable with back spasms. Vele logged a career high in receiving yards while tying his career high for catches, and he logged his first touchdown reception since Week 2. After recording just six catches over his first nine appearances this season, the second-year wideout has now accrued 11 catches for 130 yards and a touchdown across the last two games. Another solid performance for Vele would go a long way toward establishing his reliability for fantasy purposes. New Orleans is next in action Week 14 versus Tampa Bay

Saints' Devaughn Vele: Posts 37 yards in Week 12 loss
Vele caught three of seven targets for 37 yards in the Saints' 24-10 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.
With Brandin Cooks booted from the roster over the weekend following the trade of Rashid Shaheed at the deadline a couple weeks ago, Vele has taken over as the Saints' WR2 behind Chris Olave. His seven targets versus Atlanta tied for second on the team behind Olave's 13. Vele will need to show more of a ceiling in the box score before he can be trusted as a fantasy contributor.

Saints' Devaughn Vele: Catches one pass Week 10
Vele had one reception (on three targets) for 15 yards during Sunday's 17-7 win against Carolina.
Vele was expected to see more playing time after the Saints traded away their WR2 Rashid Shaheed on Tuesday, but the second-year wideout didn't see a corresponding uptick in targets. Four of New Orleans' pass-catchers logged three targets, including running backs Alvin Kamara and Devin Neal along with tight end Foster Moreau. WR1 Chris Olave and TE1 Juwan Johnson led the team with eight and four targets, respectively. If New Orleans' offense continues to lean into their running backs and tight ends, then Vele doesn't figure to see much increase in production after this Shaheed trade. His next opportunity to play will be after the Saints' Week 11 bye week when they face Atlanta on Sunday, Nov. 23.

Saints' Devaughn Vele: Taking on larger role
Vele should get more playing time after the Saints dealt Rashid Shaheed to the Seahawks on Tuesday, Nola.com's Luke Johnson reports.
Vele has merely been the No. 4 receiver in New Orleans even though the Saints gave up a fourth-round pick to acquire him from Denver in August. He now figures to get more playing time alongside Chris Olave and Brandin Cooks instead of coming off the bench to spell them from time to time. The Saints also have WR Mason Tipton, who took just two snaps in Sunday's loss at the Rams. Vele played 12 snaps (29 percent) and also finished without a catch or target, leaving him with just five catches for 36 yards (on 10 targets) across 152 snaps this season.

Saints' Devaughn Vele: Catches one pass versus Tampa
Vele compiled one reception (on five targets) for 10 yards during Sunday's 23-3 loss versus the Buccaneers.
Vele failed to capitalize on his season-high five targets. The 27-year-old has gone without a target in three of the seven games he's played so far this season. The Saints benched starting quarterback Spencer Rattler for rookie Tyler Shough in the third quarter, but they still finished with 51 passing attempts as a team. Regardless of who's under center for New Orleans, Vele and veteran wideout Brandin Cooks should continue to see limited targets while operating behind New Orleans' top three pass catchers, Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed and tight end Juwan Johnson. The Saints' next face the Rams in Week 9 on Sunday.

Saints' Devaughn Vele: Grabs two passes Week 5
Vele hauled in both targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 26-14 win versus the Giants.
Vele saw a slight uptick in playing time and targets compared to his last two outings, when he played 34.0 and 6.0 percent of offensive snaps in Week 2 and Week 4, respectively. The second-year wideout has had a much slower start with New Orleans than he did during his 2024 rookie campaign in Denver, where he logged 41 catches (on 55 targets) for 475 yards over 13 regular-season games. Vele's fantasy value will be suppressed so long as he operates as the WR4 behind Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed and Brandin Cooks, especially in the Saints' struggling passing offense.

Saints' Devaughn Vele: Plays four snaps in return Sunday
Vele accrued zero targets during Sunday's 31-19 loss versus the Bills.
Vele missed the Saints' Week 3 loss to Seattle with a hip injury, and he was listed as questionable with a hamstring injury ahead of Sunday's matchup versus Buffalo. The 27-year-old played just four offensive snaps after he logged 17 in Week 1 and 24 in Week 2. Vele will look for more usage during the Week 5 contest versus the Giants on Sunday, Oct. 5, but his fantasy value will remain extremely minimal so long as Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, Juwan Johnson and Brandin Cooks are healthy.

Saints' Devaughn Vele: Available against Bills
Vele (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
Vele was bothered by a hamstring injury that cost him Week 3, but he'll be back in the mix against the Bills. He earned only four targets through the first two contests of the season while in a rotational role. With Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed and Juwan Johnson all healthy, Vele is likely going to continue to struggle to find consistent targets.

Saints' Devaughn Vele: Questionable for Week 4
Vele (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
Vele missed last Sunday's game against the Seahawks and played just 28 percent of the offensive snaps across the Saints' first two contests, recording two catches for 16 yards and one touchdown on three targets. He has extremely minimal fantasy appeal.

Saints' Devaughn Vele: Logs limited practice Thursday
Vele (hip) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Vele was unable to play against the Seahawks this past Sunday due to a hip issue. He has logged back-to-back limited practices to open the week, but he would likely avoid an injury tag heading into Sunday's game against the Bills if he were to fully participate in Friday's session.
