STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Vele's 91% snap share and 9 targets in Week 1 make him flex option with Tyson out.

Vele led Saints receivers with a 91% snap share in Week 1 against Detroit, drawing nine targets and converting them into 7 catches for 69 yards and a touchdown. Though projecting that volume weekly is difficult, the Saints were No. 1 in neutral offensive pace last season and will likely lead the league again. First-rounder Jordyn Tyson remains on injured reserve for at least three more weeks with a hamstring injury that could sideline him until midseason, positioning Vele as a sneaky flex option in Kellen Moore's offense.
