Devaughn Vele start 'em, sit 'em fantasy football picks for Week 2 of 2026. Should you start or sit Devaughn Vele for fantasy football lineups in Week 2?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: Vele's performance in Week 1 was shocking. In the absence of WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring), he served as the team's WR2, and caught seven of his nine targets for 69 yards and a touchdown, finishing with 19.9 PPR fantasy points. He played 91 percent of offensive snaps, meaning he was on the field most of the game.
Those are very encouraging numbers. But the Saints played against the Detroit Lions, who have a secondary decimated by injuries and a defensive coordinator who is on the hot seat. It's important not to get too carried away with Week 1 results. Vele has shown promise before, but pump the brakes if you think he's a stud must-start every week.

New Orleans will face a much tougher test in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens, who appear to have an invigorated defense. They shut down the Indianapolis Colts and allowed only 166 passing yards to Daniel Jones.
Vele is worth starting in deep leagues as a WR3/FLEX.
