2025 Fantasy Outlook
Vele is the second-oldest player from the 2024 NFL Draft, having turned 27 in December of his rookie season. He contributed far more than a typical seventh-round pick, posting a 41-475-3 receiving line while serving as Denver's slot receiver for much of the year. That may be about where he maxes out, however, as he never reached 700 yards in a season during his collegiate career at Utah and tested as a merely average athlete at the 2024 Combine (4.47 40 and 36-inch vertical at 6-foot-4, 203 pounds). Vele will now need to stave off snap competition from Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin and rookie third-round pick Pat Bryant, in a Denver offense where the only sure-thing starter at wide receiver is top dog Courtland Sutton.

January 14, 2025
Vele failed to secure either of his two targets in Sunday's 31-7 wild-card loss to the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Vele failed to record a single catch for just the second time this season while playing just 22 of the Broncos 42 offensive snaps against this Bills, his lowest snap total of the campaign. Despite the rough ending, the wideout turned in a solid rookie season. Vele finished the year with 41 receptions on 55 targets for 475 yards and three touchdowns across 13 games. The 27-year-old should continue to develop in head coach Sean Payton's system while potentially earning an even larger role in the Broncos' passing attack in 2025.

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.

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.
