Outlook Devaughn Vele
Slot Role in Banged-Up Saints Offense Creates Late-Round Appeal
Devaughn Vele enters his second season in New Orleans operating as the starting slot receiver. With wideouts Jordyn Tyson and Mason Tipton sidelined by injuries, Vele is positioned to command consistent intermediate looks alongside top target Chris Olave in Tyler Shough's passing attack.
Market sentiment has rebounded after a brief early-August dip past pick 350, with his ADP steadily rising back toward 281. Our projections expect 35 receptions on 53 targets for 415 yards and three scores (94.0 fantasy points), highlighting steady PPR utility at a minimal draft-day price.
Rostered in under 10% of leagues, Vele remains firmly in flyer territory rather than a standard lineup option. However, his secure slot role and the Saints' depleted depth provide sneaky early-season target floor, making him a worthwhile late-round stash in deeper PPR formats.

Outlook De'Zhaun Stribling
Preseason Hype Fuels Rapid Rise in San Francisco’s Passing Attack
Rookie wideout De'Zhaun Stribling has quickly become one of the biggest stories of the preseason in San Francisco. With Ricky Pearsall sidelined on injured reserve and Brandon Aiyuk away from the team, Stribling has capitalized with dominant exhibition showings, showcasing reliable hands and strong red-zone versatility alongside Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel Sr.
Fantasy drafters have taken notice of his rapid ascension. Stribling’s draft cost has skyrocketed from an ADP near 226 in late July up to 136 in PPR leagues, while his roster rate has surged to 50%. While our baseline projections conservatively peg him for 33 receptions, 450 yards, and 2 touchdowns (91.0 fantasy points), his escalating market price reflects growing belief that he can exceed expectations.
At his current cost, Stribling profiles as a high-upside late-round stash. While competing with veterans like Christian Kirk presents volume risk, his electric camp performance makes him an appealing sleeper in 1.0 PPR formats.
