Devaughn Vele was a popular waiver pickup after putting up 7-69-1 on nine targets vs. the Saints. Vele is the No. 2 receiver in new Orleans behind Chris Olave until first-round rookie Jordyn Tyson eventually returns from his hamstring injury, and you could justify starting Vele as your No. 3 receiver or in your flex spot. Just realize there were some factors that may have juiced Vele's Week 1 numbers. The Saints quickly fell into a 21-0 hole, putting them into catchup mode early. Tyler Shough threw 56 passes. And the Lions' secondary is an injury riddled-mess. I'm ranking Vele as a high-end WR5.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Vele's Week 1 breakout (7-69-1) was aided by game script; rank him high-end WR5.

Vele was a popular waiver pickup after Week 1 performance of 7 catches for 69 yards and 1 touchdown on 9 targets against the Saints. He is the No. 2 receiver in New Orleans behind Chris Olave until first-round rookie Jordyn Tyson returns from hamstring injury. However, Week 1 numbers may have been inflated by contextual factors: Saints fell into 21-0 hole early, forcing catchup mode; Tyler Shough threw 56 passes; and Lions' secondary was injury-riddled. The source ranks Vele as a high-end WR5 and suggests he could be justified as a No. 3 receiver or flex option.
