Nick Vannett

Former Broncos and current free-agent tight end Nick Vannett has reportedly signed a three-year deal with the New Orleans Saints, per NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.

Fantasy Impact

Vannett joins his fourth team entering his sixth year in the league, totaling 14 receptions for 95 yards and a touchdown in 15 games for the Broncos in 2020. The Saints have been the subject of much salary cap scrutiny, so seeing the team make a three-year offer to Vannett may surprise some folks throughout the league. With veteran tight end Jared Cook departing for the L.A. Chargers earlier this offseason, the Saints are expected to rely upon second-year tight end Adam Trautman as their TE1. Vannett will likely compliment Trautman as a TE2, particularly in 12 Personnel, as head coach Sean Payton prefers implementing a run-heavy scheme that features star RB Alvin Kamara.

Broncos tight end Nick Vannett is officially active for the team's Week 4 matchup with the New York Jets on Thursday Night Football. Vannett had been inactive in Week 3.

Fantasy Impact

Through the first two weeks of the season before being inactive in Week 3, Vannett had caught just one of his four targets for negative yardages. Barring injuries to Noah Fant and/or Jake Butt, Vannett has minimal fantasy value.

Broncos TE Nick Vannett has entered the league's concussion protocol.

Fantasy Impact

Vannett signed with the Broncos over the offseason. He'll back up Noah Fant as the team's No. 2 tight end this year.

Nick Vannett signed a two-year contract with the Broncos on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

Vannett signs a two-year deal with Denver and will most likely backup starter Noah Fant. He totaled 17 catches for 166 yards across 16 games for both the Steelers and Seahawks in 2019. Vannett is mainly a target in deep-league formats.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Nick Vannett caught his lone target for an 18-yard gain in a 16-10 loss to the Jets in Week 16.

Fantasy Impact

Vannett was barely used with Vance McDonald returning to action after missing the previous game with a concussion. Vannett will finish the regular season against Baltimore next week.
