Vele had a disappointing Week 13, and he's on a bye this week, but if I have an extra roster spot, I would like to stash him for the playoffs. He had three straight games with at least 14 PPR Fantasy points before his recent dud, and he faces the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17, when Fantasy championships will be determined.

Vele caught one of four targets for 16 yards in Monday's 41-32 win over the Browns. 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.

Courtland Sutton is a must-start Fantasy receiver heading into Week 13 against the Browns, and Vele is worth using as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in deeper leagues. The Browns are No. 10 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and five receivers have scored at least 14.3 PPR points against Cleveland in the past four games. Vele has scored at least 10.6 PPR points in three games in a row, including two outings with at least 13.9 PPR points, and he just had six catches for 80 yards on nine targets in Week 12 at Las Vegas. Let's hope Bo Nix continues to lean on Vele, who has emerged as the second-best receiver for the Broncos this season.

We've been waiting for a No. 2 receiver to emerge for the Broncos behind Courtland Sutton, and Vele appears to be that guy. He scored at least 10.6 PPR points in three games in a row, including two outings with at least 13.9 PPR points, and he just had six catches for 80 yards on nine targets in Week 12 at Las Vegas. He's worth using as a low-end No. 3 receiver heading into Week 13 against Cleveland, and Vele should be added for at least 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

Vele brought in six of nine targets for 80 yards in Sunday's 29-19 win over the Raiders. Vele finished a close second behind top wideout Courtland Sutton in all receiving categories, but the latter cashed in both of Bo Nix's passing touchdowns Sunday. The seventh-round rookie still managed to set a new career high in receiving yards despite not hitting pay dirt. Vele should be on the radar in deeper formats as the No. 2 option for an improving Bo Nix down the stretch, starting with a home matchup against the Browns on Monday Night Football next week.
