Devaughn Vele Becoming Denver's WR2
15 seconds agoDenver Broncos rookie wide receiver Devaughn Vele caught six of his nine targets for a season-high 80 yards in the 29-19 win over the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday in Week 12 action. Vele has quietly become rookie quarterback Bo Nix's second-favorite target through the air behind Courtland Sutton in recent weeks. The 26-year-old seventh-round selection out of Utah was second on the team on the day with his six receptions and nine targets behind Sutton. Vele is suddenly becoming interesting in fantasy with Nix continuing to improve as a passer, making Vele at least worth a look for receiver depth in deeper fantasy leagues. However, with Josh Reynolds (hand) getting closer to a return from Injured Reserve, it could put a damper on Vele's volume as he also continues to battle for targets with rookie Troy Franklin, Marvin Mims Jr. and Lil'Jordan Humphrey.
