In five games without Rashid Shaheed last year, Vele was half-PPR's WR44 on WR43 usage. This is nearly the same situation as it was then for Vele, who is a big slot for a QB willing to throw the ball over the middle.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalSleeper

Vele's slot role and Saints' pace against Lions' depleted secondary make him a deep-league sleeper.

In five games without Rashid Shaheed last year, Vele was half-PPR's WR44 on WR43 usage; nearly same situation for Vele, who is big slot for QB willing to throw ball over middle. Ideal game environment to walk away with more targets than expected: Saints played with most pace in NFL last year, 7.0-point dogs in Detroit. Lions' secondary missing star S Brian Branch and veteran S Kerby Joseph; starting CBs quite old. Vele is sneaky deep, deep league sleeper at WR of Week 1.
