2024 Fantasy Outlook
Vele was selected by the Broncos in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, and he joins a receiving corps looking to take a step forward with some new faces in town. The wideout had success at Utah, taking advantage of his 6-4, 203-pound frame and 4.47 speed. If Vele can acclimate to the NFL quickly, he could carve out a role in Denver based on his size and athletic ability. He'll face competition to secure a spot on the team in a depth role, so Vele will need to earn a spot on the roster without requiring a huge amount of development as a 26-year old rookie.

Overall
Gets into end zone Thursday
Vele brought in two of three targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 34-27 loss to the Chargers on Thursday night.
ANALYSIS
Vele would have had a very disappointing fantasy night overall if not for his six-yard touchdown grab in the second quarter. The score was certainly encouraging, but the 14-185-1 line on 18 targets Vele posted in Weeks 10-12 seems like an increasingly distant memory considering he's contributed just three receptions for 37 yards on eight targets in the last three contests. The rookie will have a favorable matchup with which to potentially bounce back during Week 17, however, as the Broncos will face the porous Bengals defense on the road Saturday, Dec. 28.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chance to earn more playing time
Vele has an opportunity to establish a consistent role in the Broncos' offense over the next couple of games after Josh Reynolds underwent finger surgery on his right hand, Jeff Legwood of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Vele had a strong NFL debut in Week 1 against the Seahawks, when he caught eight passes on as many targets for 39 yards. He missed the next game due to a rib injury, but he has been a healthy scratch over the last three contests. Vele should be on the active roster for as long as Reynolds remains sidelined, which gives the former the opportunity to establish a larger role in the Broncos' offense and serve as a short-yardage safety valve for rookie quarterback Bo Nix.
