Devaughn Vele

Since Week 10, with Tyler Shough under center, Vele has had a 17.6% target share with 46.3 receiving yards per game, 1.35 yards per route run, and a 17.9% first-read share. In those four games, Vele has had two red zone targets and five deep targets. During that span, Vele has had one WR1 weekly finish (WR7) but sadly has been outside the top 45 wide receivers in weekly scoring in the other three games. This week, he faces a Carolina pass defense that, since Week 8, has utilized single high at the seventh-highest rate (58.5%). Since Week 10, against single high, Vele has had only a 15.1% target share with 0.89 yards per route run and an 11.1% first-read share. The market share and efficiency dips against single high drop Vele to low-end flex territory for Week 15. Since Week 10, Carolina has allowed the seventh-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

In Weeks 12-13, Devaughn Vele had an 18.1% target share with 65 receiving yards per game, 1.55 yards per route run and a 16.7% first-read share, per Fantasy Points Data. In those two games, Vele had two red-zone targets and two deep targets. Vele didn't have a monster game in Week 14, but he did tie for the team lead in target share (25%) and led the team with 40 receiving yards. Vele is a decent Flex play in two of his next three games, with favorable matchups against the Panthers and Titans, who, since Week 9, have allowed the 14th-most and seventh-most PPR points per target, respectively, to perimeter wide receivers.
