With first-round rookie wideout Jordyn Tyson sidelined from Weeks 1-8, Vele operated as the clear second option in the Saints' often pass-heavy offense, running 92% of the routes, while sporting an 18% target share and averaging 6.4 targets and 12.3 PPR PPG. Of course, everyone understood that Vele's fantasy relevance was only temporary. Time's up.

Tyson's return ends Vele's temporary fantasy relevance; drop him as usage shifts.

Devaughn Vele's fantasy relevance has ended with the return of first-round rookie Jordyn Tyson to the Saints' offense. Through the first eight weeks with Tyson sidelined, Vele ran 92% of routes with an 18% target share, averaging 6.4 targets and 12.3 PPR PPG. In Tyson's debut against Cleveland, Vele's target-per-route-run fell below 10% while Tyson was targeted on 25% of his routes despite running just 35% of snaps. The source states the passing game will continue to flow through Chris Olave and Tyson, making Vele increasingly obsolete as Tyson's usage ramps up.
