Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix had a follow-up, cleanup procedure on his fractured right ankle last week. The 26-year-old broke it in the Broncos' divisional-round victory over Buffalo, and is "firmly on track to be ready for the start of training camp," according to the report.
Huddle Up: Nix was the QB7 last season, leading the NFL in pass attempts (612) while throwing for 3,931 yards and 25 touchdowns against 11 interceptions. He added five rushing scores. With Denver adding WR Jaylen Waddle to his disposal, Nix should be a solid, midrange QB1 in 2026.

Denver Broncos TE Evan Engram is viewed as a key part of the offense, according to head coach Sean Payton. "He's someone that gave us a lot of big plays a year ago and will continue to find ways to keep and add to his workload," Payton said.
Huddle Up: Engram finished with 50 receptions for 461 yards and a touchdown in his first season in Denver, and he managed to stay relatively healthy, which has been an issue in the past. Engram has delivered some TE1 campaigns in his career, and another year to mesh with Bo Nix could result in bigger numbers for the veteran tight end. Engram can be viewed as a TE2 with some upside heading into 2026.

Denver Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins is "fully healthy," according to Broncos GM George Paton and could have played if the Broncos made the Super Bowl, reports Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette on Tuesday, March 31.
Huddle Up: From Week 1-10, Dobbins was RB18 in PPR scoring before his 2025 season was cut short with a Lisfranc injury. When healthy, Dobbins is an RB2 or RB3 fantasy option, even when splitting carries with R.J. Harvey. Dobbins rushed for 1,677 yards and 13 touchdowns on 4.8 yards per carry in 23 games over the last two seasons.

Denver Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle will line up inside and outside, and they will have speed packages for him as well, according to head coach Sean Payton.
Huddle Up: Waddle really landed in a good spot for his fantasy value. He had a 64-910-6 line last season, which was good for the WR23 in PPR leagues. That was on an atrocious team, which bodes well for him in his new situation. He played 16 games last season, but he's always on the injury report. So, you'll have that headache, and in the thin air, that could present bigger injury concerns. However, he feels like a safe WR2 with some upside.

Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix (ankle) will be ready for the offseason program and a full-go for organized team activities, according to general manager George Paton.
Huddle Up: Nix was the QB7 last season, and the team added WR Jaylen Waddle to his disposal. He should be a solid, midrange QB1 in fantasy.

Denver Broncos RB RJ Harvey is ready to take on more of a role in the offense, according to general manager George Paton. "He's dynamic with the ball in his hands and you saw that at all stages during the season, just him with the ball in his hands and his route-running ability," Paton said. "I thought he improved on first and second down."
Huddle Up: Harvey handled a bulk of the backfield touches after J.K. Dobbins went down with an injury, and while he struggled to run the ball efficiently, he did score 12 total touchdowns and make an impact in the passing game. Dobbins will be back in the mix in 2026 and likely handle some early-down work, but even if Dobbins manages to stay healthy, Harvey should enough touches to be a low-end RB2.

Denver Broncos WR Marvin Mims said he was surprised by the acquisition of WR Jaylen Waddle. "It's interesting to see how I'll fit in in the offense," Mims said.
Huddle Up: After entering last season as a candidate to become Denver's No. 2 receiver, Mims actually saw his role in the offense decrease while Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant stepped up. Throw Jaylen Waddle in the mix, and it is hard to see Mims being much of a fantasy factor in 2026.

The Denver Broncos officially traded their first-round pick, third-round pick, and fourth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and a 2026 fourth-round pick on Wednesday, March 18.
Huddle Up: Waddle will be the new WR2 for the Broncos upon his arrival. He has a chance to also be a reliable WR2 for your fantasy team in 2026 as he plays opposite Courtland Sutton.
Posted 3/17/2026 1:59 pm GMT
Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle and a fourth-round pick were acquired by the Denver Broncos Tuesday, March 17, in exchange for a first-, third- and fourth-round pick.
Huddle Up: Waddle was the WR23 in PPR leagues after a 64-910-6 season in 2025. Waddle is seemingly on the injury report most weeks, but he has averaged 15.6 games played in his five seasons. He's just 27 years old and could easily rise to the top of the WR2 food chain in Denver.

Denver Broncos TE Lucas Krull has reportedly agreed to terms to re-sign with the Broncos pending a physical, according to Chris Tomasso of the Denver Gazette on Wednesday, March 11.
Huddle Up: Krull has spent the previous three seasons with the Denver Broncos and will begin his fourth in 2026, pending a physical. As a depth tight end, Krull is not fantasy relevant, so you can safely ignore him for fantasy purposes.

Updating previous reports, Denver Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins officially re-signed with the team on Tuesday, March 10. The contract is a two-year deal worth a reported $20 million, including $8 million guaranteed at signing.
Huddle Up: From Week 1-10, Dobbins was RB18 in PPR scoring before his 2025 season was cut short with a Lisfranc injury. When healthy, Dobbins is a RB2 or RB3 option, even when splitting carries with R.J. Harvey. Dobbins rushed for 1,677 yards and 13 touchdowns on 4.8 yards per carry in 23 games over the last two seasons.

Updating a previous report, Denver Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins agreed to terms on a two-year contract with the Broncos on Monday, March 9, worth $20 million, including $8 million guaranteed at signing.
Huddle Up: From Weeks 1-10, Dobbins was the RB18 in PPR scoring before his 2025 season was cut short with a Lisfranc injury. The Broncos obviously saw enough and rewarded Dobbins with a two-year deal to operate in tandem with R.J. Harvey in the Denver backfield. For fantasy purposes, Dobbins should get enough work to be a low-end RB2 for fantasy rosters.
Posted 3/09/2026 7:30 pm GMT
Denver Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins agreed to a new two-year contract with the Broncos Monday, March 9, according to a source. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Huddle Up: Dobbins played well for the Broncos this past season before the injury and should see a majority of the snaps again in 2026. He can be a No. 2 running back in fantasy leagues and should be a weekly starting option.
Posted 2/24/2026 4:17 pm GMT
Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle isn't being shopped, according to general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan. The team is willing to listen to offers for him, though.
Huddle Up: Waddle was the WR23 in PPR leagues last season with a 64-910-6 line in 16 games. Waddle is entering the three-year, $84.75 million extension he signed and has predominately been a WR2 in his career.
Posted 2/22/2026 1:25 am GMT
Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle is a player the Pittsburgh Steelers could try to trade for this offseason, according to Steelers correspondent from The Pat McAfee show Mark Kaboly, and Kaboly said the Steelers attempted to acquire Waddle before the trade deadline.
Huddle Up: Miami reportedly views Waddle as a building block of the offense and doesn't want to trade the wide receiver, so it would likely to take a serious offer to make the Dolphins reconsider. With quarterback questions in either scenario, Waddle likely falls in the WR3 range in 2026.
Posted 2/21/2026 3:53 pm GMT
Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle is not expected to be traded by the club this offseason, according to NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe, who added that the team views him as a "core" player.
Huddle Up: The 27-year-old Waddle had 64 receptions for 910 yards and six touchdowns over 16 games last season and can be viewed as a WR3 option for 2026 fantasy leagues.

Denver Broncos impending free-agent RB J.K. Dobbins led the Broncos with 21 carries of 10-plus yards in 2025, and Denver averaged 4.9 yards per carry when Dobbins was on the field compared to 3.9 yards per carry when he was off the field.
Huddle Up: As has often been the case with Dobbins, he missed multiple games due to injury but was effective when he was able to suit up. If he does remain in Denver in 2026, he will share the backfield with RJ Harvey, but Dobbins should still be a flex candidate or RB3.

Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix recorded a league-leading seven game-winning drives during the 2025 regular season.
Huddle Up: Nix is off to a good start to his career with at least 3,700 passing yards and at least 25 passing touchdowns in each of his first two seasons. He is recovering from his broken ankle but should be ready for training camp. He can be considered a low-end No. 1 quarterback in fantasy leagues next season.
Posted 1/29/2026 12:53 am GMT
Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix (ankle) said he suffered a typical bone break and is expected to be sidelined for four to six weeks.
Huddle Up: Nix may miss the early part of offseason workouts but there seems to be a good chance that he is able to practice before training camp. He is coming off a terrific 2025 season and will likely be a low-end No. 1 quarterback in fantasy leagues next season.
Posted 1/27/2026 6:28 pm GMT
Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton says it "seems fairly optimistic" that QB Bo Nix (ankle) will be ready for training camp. Nix suffered a broken ankle that required surgery in the AFC divisional round against the Buffalo Bills.
Huddle Up: Nix could be a late-round target in fantasy drafts due to his stock being hurt coming off an injury. He has some upside to be a sneaky QB1 candidate in 2026, depending on how the Broncos build around him this offseason.
Posted 1/26/2026 6:54 pm GMT
Denver Broncos impending free-agent RB J.K. Dobbins said he hopes to re-sign with the Broncos this offseason. He said he would have been ready to play if the Broncos advanced to Super Bowl LX.
Huddle Up: Dobbins was limited to only 10 games this season but still finished with 772 rushing yards and was the main option in the running game before the injury. He can be considered at least a No. 3 running back in fantasy leagues next season if remains with the Broncos.
Posted 1/25/2026 10:06 pm GMT
Updating a previous report, Denver Broncos WR Pat Bryant (hamstring) has been ruled out of the AFC Championship game because of his hamstring injury.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to keep an eye on the situation because Bryant will have two weeks to recover if the Broncos advance to Super Bowl LX. He has a decent role when healthy and can be a possible starting option if the Broncos continue playing.
Posted 1/25/2026 6:36 pm GMT
Denver Broncos WR Troy Franklin (hamstring) has been declared inactive for the AFC Championship game.
Huddle Up: Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims and Pat Bryant will be the main receivers for the Broncos with Franklin unavailable. Sutton should be a starting option in all leagues, while Mims and Bryant can be at least flex options in leagues.
Posted 1/25/2026 4:00 pm GMT
Updating previous reports, Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix's (ankle) successful surgery last week revealed that he had limited ligament damage and no joint surface damage to his broken right ankle, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Huddle Up: Nix is expected to need three to four months of recovery time and should be able to participate in minicamp, barring any setbacks. Jarrett Stidham will serve as Denver's starting quarterback for the remainder of the playoffs but is not a recommended option for postseason fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/25/2026 12:21 am GMT
Denver Broncos RB RJ Harvey is expected to head up the backfield in the AFC Championship Game Sunday, Jan. 25, against the New England Patriots. RBs Jaleel McLaughlin and Tyler Badie are expected to be the backups, as RB J.K. Dobbins (foot) was just not yet ready to return.
Huddle Up: It's a difficult matchup for Harvey and the Broncos tailbacks, as the Patriots allowed just 1,729 rushing yards this season, with 4.2 yards per carry, 11 rushing touchdowns and just nine runs of 20 or more yards, and a single run of 40+ yards. For those in postseason fantasy leagues and DFS, he is simply a mid-tier back for Sunday's matchup, which should be dominated by defense.
Posted 1/23/2026 11:22 pm GMT
Denver Broncos WR Pat Bryant (concussion) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 23, and is not on the injury report for the AFC Championship game.
Huddle Up: Bryant appears to have passed his concussion tests and should be available for the championship game. He has become a main part of the passing game recently and will be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/23/2026 11:16 pm GMT
Denver Broncos WR Troy Franklin (hamstring) was limited during practice Friday, Jan. 23, and is listed as questionable for the AFC Championship game.
Huddle Up: Franklin may be a game-time decision, so fantasy players will need to check the inactive list for his official status. He will see a few targets if he is cleared to play and can be a flex option in some fantasy leagues.
