From the article

Vele went for 7/69/1 on nine targets, tied for second-most on the team. The fact that Vele outpaced the other rookie receivers in Jordyn Tyson's absence makes me think he can at least hold on to some value in the early season.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalSleeper

Vele's target share and role establishment make him a FAAB stab in early season.

Vele was FLEX gold in Week 1, posting 7/69/1 on nine targets (tied for second-most on the Saints team) in a 21-0 comeback against the Lions. The source notes that when Tyler Shough throws 56 times, everyone eats, but Vele's outpacing of other rookie receivers in Jordyn Tyson's absence suggests he can hold value early and establish enough role that Tyson is brought on slowly. Vele looked good in high-snap volume last season before getting hurt, and the targets were always going to be there next to Olave and Juwan Johnson. The source recommends a FAAB stab in most leagues and suggests Vele will be on at least the WR4 radar going forward.
