Vele's 26% target share and Giants' blitz rate support top-20 WR finish in Week 6.

Chris Allen projects Devaughn Vele to sneak into the top-20 WRs in Week 6 against New York. Last week, Vele hit a season-high 26% target share as Alvin Kamara's snaps and targets waned due to back injury. The Giants blitz at the third-highest rate, but Tyler Shough has responded with a quicker release (avg. 2.4 seconds) to the short area (6.3-yard aDOT). Vele ranks right behind Chris Olave in targets when defenses send more than five, and has out-targeted Olave when protection breaks down. The Giants-Saints matchup should force a pass-first script, positioning Vele for another high-end workload as a strong WR2 play.
