News: 3 hours agoVele caught three of six targets for 39 yards Sunday in a loss to Las Vegas.

Spin: Tyler Shough had another big day at quarterback for the Saints, with 160 of his 255 passing yards going to the combination of No. 1 wideout Chris Olave and top tight end Juwan Johnson. Vele finished third (behind that duo) in both targets (six) and receiving yards (39). The third-year wideout has been locked into a key role in the Saints' passing game, and through three contests he's registered 15 catches on 22 targets for 172 yards and one touchdown.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Vele is expected to open the season as New Orleans' No. 2 receiver behind Chris Olave until Jordyn Tyson returns from injury near midseason. Vele's first season with the Saints was marred with injuries. The 2024 seventh-round pick, who posted a 41-475-3 receiving line with Denver as a rookie, barely played throughout most of 2025 prior to taking on an every-down role during Weeks 10-15. In those five games (one of which he left hurt), he averaged 5.6 targets per game, but reached 12.0 fantasy points once (an 8-93-1 effort in Week 13 against Miami). The 28-year-old has yet to show he can be relied on for consistent targets and fantasy production, but he'll play an every-down role early on, which makes him a sleeper for flex value in deep leagues. He'll be worth a roster spot until Tyson returns.
