Broncos | Nate Adkins may be FB option Sat Aug 30, 02:23 PM
Denver Broncos TE Nate Adkins (ankle) is expected to be a candidate at fullback once he returns from his injury. Adkins likely will not be available for Week 1 because of his ankle injury.
Link to storyFree-agent RB Blake Watson (Broncos) is a player the Denver Broncos are interested in signing to their practice squad but have to wait at least three weeks since they originally waived him with an injury settlement.
Footballguys view: Watson, a converted receiver coming out of Memphis last year, has impressed during his time with the Broncos last year and this summer. However, he's struggled to stay healthy and would be buried on the team's depth chart. Fantasy GMs in crazy deep dynasty formats should be monitoring him. |
Free-agent TE Patrick Murtagh (Jaguars) was signed to the Denver Broncos practice squad Thursday, Aug. 28.
Link to storyDenver Broncos WR Marvin Mims (groin) did not practice on Thursday, Aug. 28, but will return Monday, Sept. 1, according to head coach Sean Payton. Mims was evaluated for a groin injury on Wednesday, an injury the team didn't consider serious, according to the Denver Gazette's Kyle Fredrickson.
Footballguys view: The injury is not considered serious, but it's something worth monitoring. Mims can be the no.2 receiver for the Broncos opposite of Courtland Sutton. In addition to his work on offense, Mims is an All-Pro return man. Fantasy GMs can look at Mims as a big-play dependent flex option if healthy. |
Free-agent QB Sam Ehlinger, WR A.T. Perry, WR Michael Bandy, FB Adam Prentice and TE Caleb Lohner were signed to the Denver Boncos practice squad Wednesday, Aug. 27.

Link to storyDenver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton believes WR Marvin Mims will be the No. 2 receiver this season. 'I think Mims is the No. 2 receiver in my opinion,'' Sutton said. 'He works his butt off, and he can make plays anywhere.'
Footballguys view: Mims was an impact player on special teams as a rookie in 2023. He did not have a large role on offense, but that changed during his second season. Mims ended last season with 545 yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns (a significant increase from his one offensive touchdown in 2023). He has emerged as an all-around weapon for Denver, and Mims continues to trend up going into Year 3. While Troy Franklin has drawn praise heading into his second season, Sutton's endorsement is noteworthy, with Mims being drafted as WR59 in Round 13, well ahead of Franklin. |
The Denver Broncos waived WR Joaquin Davis, an undrafted rookie free-agent, on Sunday, Aug. 24, a source confirmed.

Link to storyDenver Broncos TE Nate Adkins (ankle) will not start the season on the Reserve/Injured list, but his availability for Week 1 is uncertain, according to head coach Sean Payton.
Link to storyDenver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin (undisclosed) is not participating in practice Thursday, Aug. 21.
Footballguys view: Two days in a row for McLaughlin is interesting, but it may be a family matter (child birth) that is keeping him out of action. We think McLaughlin easily makes the final roster for the Broncos as a no.3/scatback for Sean Payton. |
Denver Broncos WR Devaughn Vele was traded to the New Orleans Saints Wednesday, Aug. 20, in exchange for a 2026 fourth-round draft choice and a 2027 seventh-round draft choice.
Link to storyDenver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Aug. 20.
Footballguys view: McLaughlin is the Broncos' scatback. He likely makes the roster as the no.3 back behind JK Dobbins and RJ Harvey. If one of those guys gets banged up, it's unlikely that McLaughlin's role would grow from what it is right now (change-of-pace scatback). |
Denver Broncos LB Nik Bonitto (foot) said Tuesday, Aug. 19 that an extension with the team 'will get done'. He returned to practice and full team work after missing the past week of training camp due to a bone spur in his foot.

Denver Broncos OT Garrett Bolles (undisclosed) reportedly suffered an undisclosed injury on Thursday, Aug. 14. According to Denver Sports' Will Petersen, Bolles appeared to be in 'significant pain' while trainers tended to him. He was later taken off the field in an ambulance.
Footballguys view: This was just an issue related to asthma and it sounds like Bolles is going to be ok. |
Denver Broncos WR A.T. Perry (undisclosed) has been cleared to participate in individual drills, according to head coach Sean Payton.
Footballguys view: Perry was a buzzy rookie who lost his sophomore campaign to injuries, eventually getting released midseason. He's working on a comeback in 2025, but this Broncos team is already flush with offensive weapons. |

Denver Broncos RB RJ Harvey is listed as the fifth-string running back in the team's first unofficial depth chart.
Footballguys view: Sean Payton buries rookies on the depth chart. Harvey has been making plays during Broncos training camp, both as a runner and receiver out of the backfield. We see JK Dobbins as the lead back to begin the regular season, but Harvey is the 1A at the least. Harvey could take over for Dobbins at some point. Both are RB3/flex plays for Fantasy GMs. |

The Denver Broncos have agreed to terms with DL Zach Allen on a four-year contract extension worth $102 million. The deal includes $69.5 million of guaranteed money.
Footballguys view: Allen was signed to a three year, $45.75 million deal in 2023, and the Broncos clearly feel they got a bargain, so they were willing to reward him with a new deal that pays him at the level he has been producing, adjusted for an ever-increasing salary cap. In IDP leagues that require a defensive tackle, he's a top 10 option according to our IDP rankings. |

Denver Broncos RB Audric Estime was one of the standout performers during practice Tuesday, July 29, in the opinion of the Denver Post's Luca Evans.
Footballguys view: Estime is cut from the same cloth as the newly acquired J.K. Dobbins. It remains to be seen how he'll be integrated into the offense. But he's a bruiser who could find a role with some early-down usage. Sean Payton likes to have a stable of running backs to pull from and isn't afraid to ride the hot hand, potentially giving Estime some sneaky upside. |
Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton agreed to terms on a four-year contract extension with the Broncos Monday, July 28, worth $92 million, according to a source.
Footballguys view: Although he turns 30 in October, the Broncos were confident in locking up Sutton long-term after last year's bounce-back season. In 2024, Sutton generated 1,081 yards and eight touchdowns on a career-high 81 catches. The rest of the Broncos' receiving corps enters 2025 with question marks. Marvin Mims Jr., Troy Franklin, Devaughn Vele, and free-agent addition Trent Sherfield are battling for reps. Rookie Pat Bryant, whom HC Sean Payton has compared to Michael Thomas, is also in the mix. But ensuring Sutton is around beyond 2025 gives Bo Nix a baseline player to grow with. |
