Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix worked with the first-team offense during practice Thursday, July 25.
Huddle Up: Nix is competing with Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson for the starting job but may need to outperform Stidham during the preseason to win the job. There is a good chance that Nix start at some point in 2024 but likely will be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback.

Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton agreed to a restructured contract that can pay him up to $15.2 million in 2024, including $1.5 million in new incentives, according to sources Thursday, July 25.
Huddle Up: Sutton should be viewed as a WR3 option in drafts given the shaky offense and questionable options at quarterback.

Denver Broncos TE Greg Dulcich (hamstring) "looked the part of an important weapon" in the offense during practice Wednesday, July 24, according to Nick Kosmider of The Athletic.
Huddle Up: Dulcich has the athleticism to thrive in Sean Payton's offense, but health has been an issue throughout his career. He is worth keeping an eye on in deeper leagues.

Denver Broncos RB Javonte Williams has slimmed down to his college playing weight of 220 pounds to begin training camp, according to head coach Sean Payton. "He looks trim and I thought he looked sharp today," Payton said.
Huddle Up: Williams struggled down the stretch last season, but it is worth noting that he was returning from a major knee injury. A strong training camp could put him atop a committee that is also likely to feature Audric Estime and Jaleel McLaughlin. If Williams does land the starting role, he would have RB2 potential.

Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton intends to report to the start of training camp despite his desire to receive a contract extension, according to comments from head coach Sean Payton on Tuesday, July 23.
Huddle Up: It has been an eventful offseason for Sutton, but it appears as if he will enter the preseason where he was at the end of the last season: as the Broncos' unquestioned top receiver. The biggest difference this year is that he is unlikely to benefit from the same kind of trust throws that Russell Wilson afforded him at times in 2023. Expect a mostly conservative offense led by either Jarrett Stidham or rookie first-round pick Bo Nix, which figures to make Sutton more of a hit-or-miss WR3 option in fantasy most weeks.

Denver Broncos RB Audric Estime "is making the team" and could push for the starting job with a strong showing in training camp, according to Troy Renck of The Denver Post.
Huddle Up: Renck believes that Estime could secure the starting role and make Javonte Williams expendable in the process. If this scenario unfolds, Estime would be a bargain in fantasy leagues at his current draft position.

Denver Broncos RB Javonte Williams could be competing with RB Samaje Perine for the final running back spot on the roster, in the opinion of Troy Renck of The Denver Post.
Huddle Up: Williams was expected to be in the mix for the starting role, so it would be a surprise if he was left on the roster all together. However, Renck points out the Williams struggled at the end of the last season and wasn't drafted by the current staff. If Williams is cut, Audric Estime could end being a steal for fantasy owners.

Denver Broncos RB Audric Estime (knee) is expected to be a full-go for training camp, according to sources Thursday, July 11.
Huddle Up: Estime is battling for the backup role behind perceived-starter Javonte Williams. The fifth-round pick underwent a knee scope during the spring. Fantasy managers should view Estime as a potential handcuff if he wins the RB2 role.

Denver Broncos QB Jarrett Stidham is participating in workouts with his teammates this week in Texas. WR Courtland Sutton is among the receivers that will be participating in the workouts.
Huddle Up: Stidham appears to be the leading candidate for the starting quarterback job entering training camp but will still have to compete with Bo Nix for the job. Fantasy players in most leagues should avoid the Broncos quarterback situation for the time being.
Posted 7/06/2024 10:34 pm GMT
Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix has done "nothing but impress his teammates and coaches" and has drawn praise for his"composure in the pocket and understanding of the playbook," according to Ryan McFadden of The Denver Post on Saturday, July 6.
Huddle Up: Even if Nix is in the middle of a battle for the QB1 role with Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson, the rookie will eventually get a chance to take over as the starter. He's a low-end QB2 for fantasy purposes with a relatively low ceiling for his rookie campaign, barring a massive surprise.
Posted 7/06/2024 1:30 pm GMT
Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix will not start the 2024 season as the team's No. 3 quarterback, even if he struggles mightily during training camp, according to Mike Klis of 9News.com. He will either begin the year as the Broncos' starter or their primary backup.
Huddle Up: It looks like the starting quarterback job is Nix's to lose. If head coach Sean Payton decides to have a veteran QB under center for Week 1's game against the Seattle Seahawks, Jarrett Stidham would have the likely edge over Zach Wilson because he has performed better during offseason practices and is already familiar with Denver's offensive scheme. Regardless of what happens in Week 1, Nix is expected to take over starting duties at some point in 2024 and can be viewed as a low-end QB2 option in most fantasy leagues when he enters the starting lineup.

Denver Broncos QB Jarrett Stidham appears to be the leading candidate for the starting quarterback job at this point, in the opinion of BroncosWire's Jon Heath.
Huddle Up: Stidham will be competing with Bo Nix and Zach Wilson for the starting job, but he seems to have a decent chance to be the Week 1 starter. He is not the long-term starter for the Broncos and will be a low-end No. 2 quarterback in most leagues.

Denver Broncos WR Tim Patrick (Achilles) is "a great teammate" that the team has "an idea or vision for," according to head coach Sean Payton earlier this week.
"(He brings) those intangibles. I do know and obviously have seen (his) healthy tape. Granted I wasn't here, but I kind of have an idea or vision for the player. Then all the other things that he brings relative to his competitiveness, his versatility. He's a great teammate. I think he's an important part of the locker room, so it's good to see him more and be smart with that," Payton said.
Huddle Up: It is hard to read too much into anything said during offseason practices. With that said, Patrick has consistently made a solid impression on multiple coaching staffs - only to have his season derailed by a serious injury multiple times. If this is finally the season he can stay relatively healthy, then he warrants consideration as a WR5 in fantasy at the very least. There is a small possibility that a healthy Patrick will lead this team in receiving in 2024.

Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton said he wants to stay with the Broncos for his entire career but is not ruling out the possibility of holding out of training camp depending on his contract situation.
Huddle Up: Sutton skipped the voluntary workouts because of his contract, so fantasy players will need to monitor the situation leading up to training camp. He will be a starter if he remains with the Broncos but may not be a strong fantasy option.
Posted 6/09/2024 7:03 pm GMT
Denver Broncos QB Zach Wilson is still "in the mix" for the starting quarterback role, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Sunday, June 9.
Huddle Up: Wilson is battling with Jarrett Stidham and first-rounder Bo Nix. The rookie has the upside and likely has the best chance at winning, but this will be a battle to monitor during training camp.
Posted 6/06/2024 9:04 pm GMT
Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton skipped voluntary organized team activities in May but told reporters on Thursday, June 6, that he will be present for mandatory minicamp next week.
Huddle Up: Sutton is expected to begin the season as the clear top receiver in Denver. However, head coach Sean Payton has talked up Marvin Mims enough this spring for fantasy managers to believe he can take that title from Sutton sooner rather than later. Regardless, Sutton should be - at worst - a serviceable WR4 with WR3 upside most weeks.
Posted 6/05/2024 7:23 pm GMT
Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton has been absent from the offseason workouts because he is looking for a new contract, but head coach Sean Payton said he expects Sutton to report for the mandatory minicamp next week.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players can monitor the situation to see if Sutton will be on the field next week or if he will hold out until training camp. He will be the main receiver for the Broncos if he remains with the team and can be a No. 3 or No. 4 receiver in fantasy leagues.
Posted 6/01/2024 8:44 pm GMT
Denver Broncos WR Troy Franklin signed his four-year rookie contract, the team announced Saturday, June 1.
Huddle Up: Franklin was a fourth-round pick so he has to climb the depth chart, but his skills as a deep threat make him a WR4/5 for fantasy football with some upside if a role presents itself.
Posted 6/01/2024 1:10 pm GMT
Denver Broncos RB Javonte Williams has been looking good during offseason workouts, and head coach Sean Payton said he believes Williams will be more productive this season since he will be another year removed from his torn anterior cruciate ligament.
Huddle Up: Williams likely will receive most of the work at running back and will look to improve on his stats from 2024. He can be considered a No. 2 or No. 3 running back in fantasy leagues.
Posted 5/30/2024 7:08 pm GMT
Denver Broncos WR Marvin Mims is expected to show "a lot of growth from Year 1 to Year 2," according to head coach Sean Payton on Thursday, May 30.
Huddle Up: While we probably should write this off as nothing more than coachspeak, the truth of the matter is Denver needs someone like Mims to step up and replace Jerry Jeudy at the very least. Payton has said Mims' disappointing rookie season had less to do with the receiver and more to do with his circumstances. With Courtland Sutton's status with the team also in some doubt, there is an outside chance Mims could be the team's top wideout in 2024.
Posted 5/28/2024 3:23 pm GMT
Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton is seeking a contract worth about $15-$16 million annually, according to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler.
Huddle Up: Sutton had a 90-772-10 season last year and came in as the WR35 in PPR leagues. He'll be the top option to throw to in Denver, but there isn't a lot of upside there as a low-end WR3.
Posted 5/24/2024 8:02 pm GMT
Denver Broncos QB Jarrett Stidham said he is looking forward to competing with QB Bo Nix and QB Zach Wilson for the starting quarterback job during training camp.
Huddle Up: Stidham ended the 2023 season as the starter but likely will need an outstanding training camp and preseason in order to have a chance at the starting job. Fantasy players in most leagues can avoid Stidham if he is able to win the job.
Posted 5/24/2024 3:28 am GMT
Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix is "farther along" than most rookie quarterbacks would be, according to head coach Sean Payton. "We're talking about a player who's played 61 games," Payton said. "He's extremely smart. He's picked it up very quickly."
Huddle Up: Unless Nix struggles significantly leading up to the start of the season, he will likely enter Week 1 as the starter. He is worth a look as a low-end QB2.
Posted 5/23/2024 6:32 pm GMT
Denver Broncos QBs Bo Nix, Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson all worked with the first-team offense during the voluntary workouts this week.
Huddle Up: Nix likely will enter training camp as the leading candidate for the starting job, but fantasy players will need to monitor the situation. Fantasy players should consider whoever wins the job as a No. 2 fantasy quarterback.
Posted 5/23/2024 6:23 pm GMT
Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton was not present for the voluntary workout Thursday, May 23.
Huddle Up: Sutton has been skipping the offseason workouts but likely will return to the team for their mandatory minicamp in a few weeks. He likely will be the main option in the passing game for the Broncos in 2024 and could be a No. 3 or No. 4 receiver in fantasy leagues.
Posted 5/13/2024 1:19 am GMT
Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix has showcased the right combination of patience and accuracy, according to head coach Sean Payton. "The ball comes out, and I don't want to use the term boring, that's not the right term, but pretty good decisions with each play," Payton said. "The efficiency with how he's operating."
Huddle Up: With plenty of snaps under his belt at the collegiate level, Nix has a chance to hit the ground running if he is a fit in Payton's system. Nix is worth a look as a QB2.
Posted 5/08/2024 10:14 pm GMT
Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton is not participating in the voluntary workouts this offseason.
Huddle Up: The Broncos have said they will not be trading Sutton, so he will be the main receiver for the team in 2024. He should see a good amount of targets each game and can be a No. 3 or No. 4 receiver in fantasy leagues.
Posted 4/28/2024 2:48 pm GMT
The Los Angeles Rams and Pittsburgh Steelers expressed interest in trading for Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton before and during the 2024 NFL Draft, according to a source.
Huddle Up: Ultimately, Denver decided to keep Sutton because the organization believes that he and QB Bo Nix can become a new version of QB Drew Brees and WR Michael Thomas, both of whom played for current Broncos head coach Sean Payton when he was with the New Orleans Saints. Sutton had 10 touchdowns last season and can be viewed as a solid WR3 option in most fantasy leagues.
Posted 4/27/2024 6:27 pm GMT
Notre Dame RB Audric Estime was selected by the Denver Broncos with the 147th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Huddle Up: Estime may compete with playing time with Samaje Perine during training camp, so fantasy players can keep an eye on his situation. He has a chance to be a late round pick in fantasy leagues because he could receive some touches during games.
Posted 4/27/2024 4:12 pm GMT
Oregon WR Troy Franklin was selected by the Denver Broncos with the 102nd overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Huddle Up: The Broncos have Courtland Sutton and Josh Reynolds as their main receivers, but Franklin will have the opportunity to earn a role during training camp. He could be a late round pick in fantasy drafts but probably will not be a starting option most weeks as a rookie.
