Karel Vejmelka solidifies workhorse role in Utah with high-volume fantasy upside
Karel Vejmelka enters the season as Utah's unquestioned workhorse between the pipes. Coming off an impressive 40-win season across 68 games in 2025, the 30-year-old veteran has established firm control of the net over backup Jaxson Stauber, securing an enviable volume floor.
Our season projections forecast another busy campaign, slating Vejmelka for 38 wins, 1,458 saves, and a 2.75 GAA across 63 games. While his career save percentage sits around .900, his durability and heavy usage keep his weekly fantasy production very dependable.
Holding an ADP near pick 65, Vejmelka is valued as a rock-solid fantasy netminder who provides steady volume. Backed by an ascending roster and guaranteed heavy starts, he offers high win upside and is fully capable of outperforming his mid-round draft position.
