Vele opens up as the pretty clear No. 2 receiver in New Orleans as the only two other non-Chris Olave receivers to make the 53-man roster are Day 3 rookies. Vele took his time to get on the field last year after he was traded to New Orleans near last cuts, but had a month-long stretch from Thanksgiving to before Christmas where he averaged 6.5 targets a game and piled on 239 total yards.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Vele's No. 2 role and diminished Lions secondary create a window for fantasy value.

At $3,500 on DraftKings, Vele emerges as the clear No. 2 receiver in New Orleans after Jordyn Tyson's injury, with only Day 3 rookies as other non-Chris Olave receivers on the 53-man roster. Vele took time to get on the field after his mid-season trade but averaged 6.5 targets per game from Thanksgiving to before Christmas with 239 total yards before a season-ending injury. The Lions secondary is diminished with Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph both out. The source thinks Vele has a window to be a very interesting fantasy play this year.
