Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix (back) said he suffered three transverse process fractures in his back during a game in November but was able to continue playing despite the injury.

Huddle Up: Nix may be limited during offseason workouts but should be fine for the start of training camp next season. He threw for 3,775 yards and 29 touchdowns this season and could be a low-end No. 1 quarterback in some leagues in 2025.

Denver Broncos WR Marvin Mims recorded 11 catches for 69 yards and no touchdowns over the first 10 games compared to 28 catches for 434 yards and six touchdowns over the final seven games.

Huddle Up: Mims' surge in the second half of the season makes him a potential sleeper for upcoming postseason contests, and when next season rolls around, he will likely be rostered in all formats.

Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton recorded 13 catches on go routes - tied for most in the league - for 304 yards (eighth) and five touchdowns (tied for fourth) during the 2024 regular season, according to Next Gen Stats.

Huddle Up: Bo Nix entered the league with a reputation for being a dink-and-dunk quarterback based on the offense he ran at the University of Oregon, but his deep-ball prowess unlocked a part of Sutton's game that had been dormant for years. What makes Sutton's 81-1,081-8 line on a career-high 135 targets for the 2024 regular season even more impressive is that he was not targeted at all in a Week 7 rout of the New Orleans Saints. Sutton should be a solid fantasy WR2 investment in 2025 drafts even as he turns 30 in October.

Devaughn Vele - WR

Posted 1/06/2025 8:54 am GMT

Denver Broncos WR Devaughn Vele caught all four of his targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Week 18 against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Huddle Up: Vele's touchdown catch was one for the ages, although it not intended for him. Bo Nix rolled to his right and found Adam Trautman in the back of the end zone, but he could not handle it. Two Kansas City defenders kept it alive long enough for Vele to haul it in before falling out of the back of the end zone himself. Although his rookie campaign was wildly inconsistent in terms of his usage, Vele did enough to earn himself a top-three role in this passing game in 2025. However, he is little more than a DFS punt play in the team's upcoming Wild Card Round game against the Buffalo Bills.

Posted 1/06/2025 8:46 am GMT

Denver Broncos WR Marvin Mims caught five passes for 51 yards and a pair of touchdowns against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 18. He was targeted five times.

Huddle Up: Yet another example of why you don't write someone off too early, Mims has transformed from afterthought to weapon over the last month-plus, topping 100 yards in a game twice and scoring a half-dozen times over his past seven outings. It has definitely put him on fantasy radars for 2025, and for those playing DFS he could be a risk/reward WR3 or flex in Buffalo next Sunday.

Posted 1/06/2025 8:36 am GMT

Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton had five receptions (on seven targets), 98 yards, and a touchdown during the team's 38-0 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, Jan. 5.

Huddle Up: After a slow start, Sutton developed a strong chemistry with Bo Nix and moved into legitimate low-end WR2 territory, finishing with an 81-1,081-8 line, easily his best since his breakout season of 2019. As Nix's top target, Sutton should be a solid choice against the Bills this Sunday.

Posted 1/06/2025 8:28 am GMT

Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin collected 16 carries for 39 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, Jan. 5. He caught two passes (on two targets) for nine yards as well.

Huddle Up: While Denver's backfield is arguably the NFL's messiest for fantasy owners, McLaughlin feels like the most likely back to contribute from one week to the next. He's posted double-digit carries in three of his last four games and is at least a capable pass catcher out of the backfield. As an RB3 or flex, McLaughlin could be worth a spot in your DFS lineup next weekend.

Audric Estime - RB

Posted 1/06/2025 8:17 am GMT

Denver Broncos RB Audric Estime had 12 carries for 34 yards and a touchdown against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, Jan. 5.

Huddle Up: The rookie topped 50 yards in a game just once all year and is a complete nonfactor in the passing game. When he scores, like he did in two of the final three games, he can fill a flex slot. That's a tough sell in Buffalo next Sunday, though, so DFS owners should seek better options elsewhere.

Javonte Williams - RB

Posted 1/06/2025 8:12 am GMT

Denver Broncos RB Javonte Williams ran the ball five times for 28 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 18. He added three receptions for 50 yards. Williams was targeted four times.

Huddle Up: On a day when Denver ran the ball 43 times, Williams had five carries. Despite a respectable 78 yards, he's a long shot to deliver meaningful value in the Wild Card matchup against Buffalo.

Posted 1/06/2025 8:05 am GMT

Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix completed 26 of 29 passes for 321 yards and four touchdowns against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, Jan. 5. He also ran seven times for a team-high 47 yards.

Huddle Up: With KC resting pretty much everyone of note, Nix and company feasted on the reserves to punch Denver's ticket to the postseason. The rookie will have a much tougher test in Buffalo next weekend. He'll be playing with house money, though, and his dual-threat ability could be a factor if the Broncos hope to keep things close. He'd have some interesting upside in DFS leagues.

Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton needs 82 receiving yards in Week 18 to cash a $500,000 incentive in his contract.

Huddle Up: Sutton will be playing against the Kansas City Chiefs backups in Week 18. View him as a WR2 option likely to reach that threshold.

Devaughn Vele - WR

Posted 12/29/2024 1:57 am GMT

Denver Broncos WR Devaughn Vele posted two catches on as many targets for 27 yards at the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17 on Saturday, Dec. 28.

Huddle Up: Vele may have scored in Week 16 but has just five total targets in the last four weeks and is unworthy of a Week 18 play without an intentional gamble being your intention. He did score in the previous meeting with Kansas City, and this defense has nothing to play for in the finale.

Posted 12/29/2024 1:40 am GMT

Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin paced the backfield with 10 carries for 69 yards at the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17 on Saturday, Dec. 28. He caught both of his targets for seven yards.

Huddle Up: While McLaughlin's efficiency is nice to see, this backfield can be a minefield for fantasy purposes from week to week. Kansas City comes to Denver in what is a meaningless game for the Chiefs, so look to see key defenders rest. McLaughlin is a so-so RB2 or flex option as a result.

Posted 12/29/2024 1:39 am GMT

Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton secured five of nine targets for 55 yards and a touchdown at the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17 on Saturday, Dec. 28.

Huddle Up: The Broncos return to the Mile High City in Week 18 to face a Kansas City unit that undoubtedly will take it easy on key players, and Sutton should be a strong WR2 with upside for top-12 returns.

Posted 12/29/2024 1:19 am GMT

Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix completed 24 of 31 attempts for 219 yards with three touchdowns and an interception at the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17 on Saturday, Dec. 28. He added 31 yards on seven carries and was sacked twice.

Huddle Up: Denver heads home to face the Kansas City Chiefs, a team poised to rest everyone of note given there's nothing at stake. This could be another fine opportunity to deploy the talented rookie passer in Week 18 fantasy play.

Audric Estime - RB

Posted 12/29/2024 1:19 am GMT

Denver Broncos RB Audric Estime ran nine times for 24 yards at the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17 on Saturday, Dec. 28. He caught his lone target for a 13-yard gain.

Huddle Up: The fluctuation in backfield work can be frustrating, but Estime has been a tough-yardage option in recent games in which Jaleel McLaughlin led the way in touches. Estime offers nothing as a receiver, and he's useful only with a TD plunge, so that's the goal if you're feeling like gambling on him next week vs. a presumably resting Kansas City defense.

Posted 12/29/2024 12:40 am GMT

Denver Broncos WR Marvin Mims caught all eight targets for 103 yards and two touchdowns at the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17 on Saturday, Dec. 28.

Huddle Up: The second-year pro was nothing short of electric in this one, landing a 51-yard bomb for a score and an acrobatic second TD late. He has at least four targets in each of the last five games, including two outings with at least 100 yards and a score that window. Kansas City is poised to rest key players, and Mims makes for an intriguing risk-reward No. 3 or flex play.

Posted 12/26/2024 10:26 pm GMT

Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin (quadriceps) fully participated in practice Thursday, Dec. 26, and is not on the injury report for Week 17.

Huddle Up: McLaughlin likely will share playing time with Audric Estime and Javonte Williams during the game. He could be a possible flex option in deeper fantasy leagues but is not a strong option since he will be part of a committee during the game.

Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin (quadriceps) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Dec. 25.

Huddle Up: McLaughlin appears to be on track to return to the lineup after a one-game absence. He will be part of a committee at running back if he is cleared to play and could be a flex option in fantasy leagues.

Posted 12/25/2024 12:31 am GMT

Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin (quadriceps) was a limited participant in practice on Tuesday, Dec. 24.

Huddle Up: The limited practice is an upgrade for McLaughlin after he closed out last week sitting out, so it appears he has a chance to return. Even if he plays, McLaughlin is not a suggested lineup option, as his production and touches have been far too inconsistent to trust.

Posted 12/20/2024 6:25 am GMT

Denver Broncos WR Marvin Mims Jr. had three catches (on five targets) for a team-high 62 yards versus the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday, Dec. 19. He also ran once for three yards.

Huddle Up: Mims' second-half surge continues, averaging 57.8 yards per game over his last five with two touchdowns. That's probably not enough to attract much attention outside of deeper leagues, but it's something to at least be aware of with an eye on 2025. For Week 17 versus the Bengals, Mims might qualify as a lottery-ticket type play, though the risk would be considerable.

Devaughn Vele - WR

Posted 12/20/2024 6:10 am GMT

Denver Broncos WR Devaughn Vele caught two passes for 21 yards and a touchdown against the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday, Dec. 19. He was targeted three times.

Huddle Up: After catching just one pass in his previous two games, Vele logged his second TD of the year. He's not seeing the kind of involvement that would make him a viable option in Week 17, however, as the rookie has only three games of more than 40 yards on the season.

Posted 12/20/2024 5:50 am GMT

Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton had five receptions (on six targets) for 50 yards against the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday, Dec. 19.

Huddle Up: Make it back-to-back frustrating weeks from Sutton, who has a combined eight catches, 82 yards, and one TD in his last two games. It's certainly bad timing for fantasy owners as Sutton had been on a heater, racking up 42 receptions, 569 yards, and 3 TDs in his previous six games. He has a nice matchup in Week 17 against a Bengals defense that has struggled throughout 2024. Sutton absolutely belongs in your lineup next weekend.

Audric Estime - RB

Posted 12/20/2024 5:36 am GMT

Denver Broncos RB Audric Estime had nine carries for 48 yards and a touchdown during the team's Week 16 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

Huddle Up: Five players ran the ball for Denver on Thursday night with Estime topping the team in both carries (9) and rush yards (48) while scoring his first NFL touchdown. It was solid production given limited touches, but the full blown committee approach makes it tough to rely on anyone in the Broncos backfield right now -- bear in mind, Jaleel McLaughlin (quad) didn't play, so if he returns in Week 17 the situation gets even muddier. While the rookie offers a little upside, you'd be taking a real gamble slotting him into your lineup versus the Bengals.

Javonte Williams - RB

Posted 12/20/2024 5:23 am GMT

Denver Broncos RB Javonte Williams ran the ball four times for 24 yards against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 16. He also caught a game-high seven passes for 29 yards. He was targeted 11 times.

Huddle Up: With Jaleel McLaughlin (quad) inactive, Williams saw a lot of work in the passing game, setting season highs in targets (11) and receptions (7). While it didn't amount to a lot of yardage, it was still a step up from his recent efforts -- he'd totaled 31 yards in the previous three games combined. With extra rest before a Week 17 matchup with the Bengals, McLaughlin has a good shot to return, which would leave Williams with zero appeal. Even if McLaughlin remains out, Williams would still be no more than a desperation play.

Posted 12/20/2024 5:05 am GMT

Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix completed 29 of his 40 passing attempts for 263 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions versus the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday, Dec. 19. He also ran three times for 25 yards.

Huddle Up: Nix started strong with Denver scoring touchdowns on their first three drives, but it went south from there with the Broncos settling for two field goals in the second half. His overall numbers were solid, though, and he played turnover-free football, which was refreshing after he tossed five INTs in his previous two games. Denver faces a shaky Bengals defense in Week 17, setting up Nix as a QB1 candidate for many fantasy owners' championship week.

Posted 12/18/2024 10:15 pm GMT

Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin (quadriceps) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 18, and has been ruled out for Week 16. The Broncos did not hold a practice Wednesday, so the practice participation is an estimation.

Huddle Up: Javonte Williams and Audric Estime likely will share playing time with McLaughlin unavailable. Neither running back had much success last week, but both should still see a decent amount of touches during the game. Williams may have more fantasy value at this point, but he and Estime could be a possible flex options in fantasy leagues.

Posted 12/18/2024 1:53 am GMT

Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin (quadriceps) was a limited participant in practice on Tuesday, Dec. 17, after not taking part the day before.

Huddle Up: The limited session gives McLaughlin a shot to suit up this week. McLaughlin had the most touches of Broncos running backs last week, but Javonte Williams and Audric Estime had eight and six, respectively. McLaughlin looks to be the best bet to start out of the trio, but none of Denver's backs are suggested lineup options.

Posted 12/16/2024 9:25 pm GMT

Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin (quadriceps) did not participate in practice Monday, Dec. 16. The Broncos did not hold a practice Monday, so this is an estimation.

Huddle Up: McLaughlin suffered the injury in the last game, so his status for Week 16 is in question. He rushed for 84 yards a few weeks ago but has received at least 10 carries in only two games this season. He probably will see a limited workload if he is able to play and can be avoided in most leagues.

Posted 12/16/2024 2:41 am GMT

Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton ended up with three receptions for 32 yards and a 20-yard touchdown on nine targets in Week 15 against the Indianapolis Colts.
