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.

Positive signalSleeper

Vele is deep league sleeper with pace advantage and Lions' secondary injuries creating opportunity.

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