Devaughn Vele

27-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
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.

Quiet in win
WRDenver Broncos
December 3, 2024
Vele caught one of four targets for 16 yards in Monday's 41-32 win over the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Vele's Week 13 performance was a major disappointment considering rookie quarterback Bo Nix threw for 294 yards against the Browns. Operating as the No. 2 wideout, Vele played 31 of the Broncos' 66 offensive snaps Monday, second only to Courtland Sutton's 62. The rookie will look to bounce back against the Colts on Dec. 15 when the Broncos return from their Week 14 bye.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chance to earn more playing time
WRDenver Broncos
October 12, 2024
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.
