From the article

Vele's 7-69-1 performance on nine targets was driven by a bizarre, nitro-fueled game script. But Vele's usage was encouraging. He played 82 of those 90 offensive snaps and was on the field along with wide receiver Chris Olave when New Orleans was in 2-WR sets. Vele is clearly going to get a lot of playing time until the Saints get first-round rookie Jordyn Tyson back from a hamstring injury.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Vele's 82-snap role and 9 targets signal starter usage until Tyson returns.

Devaughn Vele is rostered in only 7% of leagues but showed encouraging usage in Week 1 despite the Saints' unusual game script (90 offensive plays, 56 pass attempts in a 31-30 OT loss to Detroit). Vele recorded 7 catches for 69 yards and a touchdown on nine targets, playing 82 of 90 offensive snaps and appearing alongside Chris Olave in 2-WR sets. He is clearly going to get significant playing time until the Saints get first-round rookie Jordyn Tyson back from a hamstring injury, making him worth targeting on waivers.
