Joe Veleno

24-Year-Old CenterC
Detroit Red Wings
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Veleno emerged as a regular for the Red Wings a season ago, appearing in 81 of 82 regular-season games and posting nine goals and 20 points. He added four power-play points and 152 hits. Veleno was viewed as a big-time prospect heading into the 2018 draft, but he slipped to No. 30 overall and has never been able to put it all together since turning pro. Veleno should be a lineup staple for Detroit once again in 2023-24, but there's zero fantasy implications here. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a one-year, $825,000 contract with the Red Wings in August of 2023.
Good to go Thursday
CDetroit Red Wings
March 14, 2024
Veleno (head) will play Thursday versus the Coyotes, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Veleno will play Thursday after taking a puck off the head or neck in the second period of Tuesday's game versus the Sabres. The 24-year-old will play in a middle-six role between Michael Rasmussen and Patrick Kane. With Veleno good to go and Austin Czarnik called up, Daniel Sprong will be a healthy scratch.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Will play for Team Canada
CDetroit Red Wings
April 19, 2023
Veleno will play for Team Canada at the IIHF World Championship in May, Sean Shapiro of EP Rinkside reports.
ANALYSIS
Veleno finished the 2022-23 campaign with nine goals, 20 points and a minus-12 rating through 81 games with the Red Wings. He should continue to be a regular in Detroit's bottom six next season.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Veleno was essentially a regular for Detroit in 2021-22, playing in 57 of the club's final 58 games, and 66 of 82 overall. His production -- eight goals, 15 points, 123 hits -- was minimal, but Veleno turned just 22 years old in January. Veleno is a big body with a good set of hands and time is definitely on his side, but the 2018 No. 30 overall selection looks like an up-and-down guy at this point. If Veleno is again able to carve out a full-time role with the Red Wings in 2022-23, it will almost certainly be as a bottom-six forward, severely limiting his potential fantasy value.
