Broncos | J.K. Dobbins fades after first drive as Jonah Coleman leads RBs in snaps Mon Oct 26, 08:56 AM
Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins had 3 carries for 15 yards on Denver's first drive of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, then just 3 carries for 8 yards over the team's final nine drives.
| Footballguys view: Rookie RB Jonah Coleman, back from injured reserve, led the Broncos' running backs with 30 offensive snaps (49%). RB RJ Harvey played 16 snaps and Dobbins 14. The good news is Dobbins salvaged his day with a goal-line touchdown run. While Dobbins will still have some value, Coleman appears to be on a path to lead this backfield down the stretch. |

Broncos | Rookie Jonah Coleman leads Broncos RBs with 30 snaps in return from IR Mon Oct 26, 07:23 AM
Broncos rookie RB Jonah Coleman led the team's running backs with 30 offensive snaps (49%) in Sunday's win over the Cardinals, his first game back after being activated from injured reserve. RB RJ Harvey played 16 snaps and RB J.K. Dobbins played 14.
| Footballguys view: As Pro Football Focus reminded readers, Coleman, in his first game back from a stint on IR, led the backfield in snaps on early downs, third downs, and in short-yardage situations. He averaged 6.0 yards per carry, compared to 3.8 for Dobbins and 2.0 for Harvey. However, Harvey scored a receiving touchdown, while Dobbins handled the team's lone goal-line snap and turned it into a rushing touchdown. Given the workload, Coleman is a clear top waiver-wire target this week in any league where he remains available. |

Broncos | Jaylen Waddle's injury categorized as a chest injury Sun Oct 25, 07:35 PM
Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle's injury was categorized as a chest injury by the team before Sunday's win over the Cardinals ended.
| Footballguys view: The injury occurred on a reverse with under five minutes remaining in the 30-16 triumph. Waddle fumbled the pitch from quarterback Bo Nix and dove to recover the ball as a defender landed on top of him. Broncos head coach Sean Payton criticized his own play call on the reverse in which Waddle was injured. Waddle caught four passes for 48 yards on Sunday. He has 26 receptions for 276 yards and one score through seven games. We'll have more on Waddle's status for the team's Week 8 game against the Chiefs in coming days. |

Broncos | Nix throws for 222 yards, a touchdown in win over Cardinals Sun Oct 25, 07:31 PM
Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix completed 15 of 29 passes for 222 yards with 1 touchdown and ran 7 times for 73 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He was projected for 16.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 26.2.
| Footballguys view: Nix, who has been reluctant to throw downfield to this point in the season, connected with Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton for a combined seven completions for 93 yards, and his screen pass to RJ Harvey went for a 52-yard touchdown, finally delivering some legitimate production. His 62-yard scoring run added to that. The Broncos play the Chiefs in Week 8. |

Broncos | Jaylen Waddle down after 'gadget call', lands hard on left shoulder Sun Oct 25, 07:09 PM
Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle went down on the field after a gadget play in Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Waddle landed hard on his left shoulder and looked "very uncomfortable" as he was assisted off the ground.
| Footballguys view: Waddle got hurt recovering a fumble on a broken play. The Broncos got a win and Bo Nix should be more confident heading into a showdown with the Chiefs in Week 8, but losing Waddle for the game would be a big blow for this inconsistent-at-best offense. Waddle was at seven targets and four catches for 48 yards when his afternoon was ended by this injury. |

Broncos | Jonah Coleman questionable for Week 7, needs IR activation Fri Oct 23, 05:10 PM
Broncos RB Jonah Coleman (ankle) was listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 7 game at the Cardinals after being a full participant in practice for the third consecutive day on Friday. Coleman, who was placed on injured reserve following Week 2, began his 21-day practice window on Wednesday and would be eligible to play if he is activated from injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: All signs point to Coleman returning in Week 7. Since Sean Payton took over playcalling, we've seen a shift toward using J.K. Dobbins more than RJ Harvey. It remains to be seen how Coleman will fit into that mix. He's a priority pickup if he's available on the waiver wire, but he's more of a stash than a start this week against the Cardinals. |

Broncos | Jaylen Waddle full Friday, no game status for Week 7 at Cardinals Fri Oct 23, 05:10 PM
Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle (chest) improved to a full participant in practice on Friday after being limited in Denver's first two practices of the week. Waddle was not assigned a game status for Sunday's Week 7 game at the Cardinals, which indicates he will be available to play.
| Footballguys view: Waddle was limited early in the week but practiced in full on Friday, and he'll enter Week 7 as a boom-or-bust WR3. |

Broncos | Jonah Coleman full again, 'trending toward return' for Week 7 Thu Oct 22, 07:41 PM
Broncos rookie RB Jonah Coleman (ankle) was a full practice participant on Thursday for the second consecutive day. Coleman was designated for return from injured reserve on Wednesday and is trending toward a return for Sunday's Week 7 game at the Cardinals.
| Footballguys view: JK Dobbins is the starter, but Fantasy GMs can put Coleman in as a 'what the heck' flex against the Cardinals in Week 7. Coleman may take over in the backfield eventually, but in his first game back from a high-ankle sprain the team should choose to ease him back. |

Broncos | Jaylen Waddle limited again Thursday ahead of Week 7 Thu Oct 22, 07:12 PM
Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle (chest) remained a limited practice participant on Thursday, his second straight limited session ahead of Sunday's Week 7 game at the Cardinals. The Broncos will release their final practice report and game statuses on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs aren't trusting the Broncos' passing game - and for good reason. QB Bo Nix has been playing terrible football, and he's only had one good game with Waddle this season. Consider Waddle more of a flex play against the Cardinals in Week 7. The Broncos should bounce back, Nix specifically, as their schedule gets much easier (easiest in the league) over the next 11 games. |

Broncos | Jaylen Waddle limited with chest injury Wednesday, 'one to watch' for Week 7 Wed Oct 21, 07:12 PM
Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle was limited in practice on Wednesday with a chest injury ahead of Sunday's Week 7 game at the Cardinals. Waddle is considered "one to watch" on the injury report this week. He briefly left last Thursday's win over the Seahawks with a shoulder injury before returning to the game.
| Footballguys view: Waddle is doing little to nothing for Fantasy GMs this year, mainly because QB Bo Nix is playing bad football. Against the Cardinals, the Broncos offense is looking to come to life. We don't have a ton of faith that happens based on the way Nix is playing this year, so Waddle is more of a WR2/flex play - or still even 'what the heck' flex play - in Week 7. |

Broncos | Sean Payton says 'no' to QB change, Broncos sticking with Bo Nix Mon Oct 19, 01:00 PM
Broncos head coach Sean Payton said on Monday that he is not considering a change at quarterback despite QB Bo Nix's struggles during Denver's 4-2 start. "To answer your question, no," Payton said. "He is going to become the byproduct of all the finer things that get improved. The improved play from our offensive line; the more efficient we are relative to downs; and running the football."
| Footballguys view: Nix attempted 27 passes and totaled just 107 yards in Thursday's win over the Seahawks. He was criticized by analysts, including Amazon Prime analyst Ryan Fitzpatrick, who questioned Nix's competitive effort. Denver won despite being outgained, 353-168, mustering just two first downs and 30 yards of offense in the second half. The popular narrative last season was that the Broncos came up short of reaching the Super Bowl because Nix was injured in the Divisional Round. This year, Denver is prevailing despite poor play from its quarterback, who seems averse to throwing the ball and uncomfortable leading the offense. |

Broncos head coach Sean Payton was asked on Monday whether QB Bo Nix has a mental hurdle to get over with his ankle after two offseason surgeries.

Right now offensively I feel that, our players feel that. And we'll improve."

Broncos | Bo Nix's ankle 'healthy and good to go' but return from injury not complete Thu Oct 15, 04:49 PM
Broncos QB Bo Nix's ankle is "healthy and good to go" ahead of Thursday night's game against the Seahawks, but that "doesn't mean a return from an injury is complete," as mentally trusting it and taking hits take time. Nix needs to "let it rip" and also use his legs, while remaining in the pocket for the offense's concepts to work, especially with WR Jaylen Waddle, who "takes a second to get himself open."

Broncos | J.K. Dobbins 'easily out-paced' RJ Harvey in snaps as Payton returns to play-calling Mon Oct 12, 08:38 AM
Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins "easily out-paced" RB RJ Harvey in offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Chargers, head coach Sean Payton's return to calling plays. Harvey was held to 7 yards on 3 carries in the game.
| Footballguys view: That said, Pro Football Focus notes that Harvey took 100% of two-minute drill snaps, giving him more playing time than last year and Tyler Badie less. Harvey has played 76.9% of two-minute drill snaps this season. But Dobbins was the clear workhorse, carrying the ball 18 times for 68 yards and a touchdown. The Broncos play the Seahawks on Thursday night this week. Expect Dobbins to continue leading the way on the ground. |

Broncos | Pat Bryant to short-term IR with ankle injury, out at least four games Fri Oct 9, 03:31 PM
The Broncos are placing WR Pat Bryant on short-term injured reserve with the ankle injury he suffered against the 49ers on Sunday. Bryant will miss the next four games and can return as soon as the team's November 8 game against the Panthers. He did not practice on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Bryant was carted off with an injury that was later diagnosed as a dreaded high ankle sprain. He'll miss at least the next four weeks. Bryant was carving out a role before the injury. But with him out, expect targets to consolidate back to Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton. Other receivers will rotate in, but Waddle and Sutton are likely the only ones with any fantasy relevance. |

Broncos | Sean Payton takes back play-calling from Davis Webb: 'I'll call the plays' Thu Oct 8, 04:34 PM
Broncos head coach Sean Payton confirmed on Thursday that he will take back offensive play-calling duties from offensive coordinator Davis Webb, whom he gave them to this offseason. "We'll make a change offensively. I'll call the plays," Payton said, citing a belief that "there's more there" offensively than Denver has shown through four weeks. Webb will remain involved in building game plans, but Payton will be the voice in QB Bo Nix's ear on game days, starting Sunday against the Chargers.
| Footballguys view: Payton didn't take long to wrest back control of his offense. Nix has looked inconsistent (to say the least) and flat-out bad for most of this season. He's a talented quarterback, but the Broncos need better play from him if they're going to make another deep postseason run. We'll see if Payton can light a spark (again) in his young quarterback. |

Broncos | Sean Payton calls J.K. Dobbins 'an important piece of what we're doing' Wed Oct 7, 04:57 PM
Broncos head coach Sean Payton praised RB J.K. Dobbins on Wednesday. "He's an important piece of what we're doing," Payton said.
| Footballguys view: The Broncos can't run the ball effectively, and Dobbins looked either injured or washed. Have injuries finally caught up with him? The Broncos don't get rookie Jonah Coleman back for another couple of weeks, so Dobbins - if healthy enough - will continue to get the bulk of the carries. RJ Harvey is great in space, but we're seeing he's most effective as a receiving back. |

Broncos WR Pat Bryant (ankle) was not spotted during the viewing period of Wednesday's practice, Denver's first session of the week ahead of its Week 5 game at the Chargers.
| Footballguys view: Without Bryant against the Chargers in Week 5, we should see more from Troy Franklin as the team's no.3 option at the wide receiver position. Franklin has 'what the heck' flex appeal in crazy deep leagues. Bryant avoided the worst-case scenario on his MRI, but is still dealing with an ankle sprain suffered in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. |

Broncos | Pat Bryant gets good news on ankle MRI, avoids worst-case scenario Wed Oct 7, 02:12 AM
Broncos WR Pat Bryant received good news after undergoing an MRI on his injured ankle on Tuesday. He avoided a worst-case scenario, and the injury is expected to be short-term. Bryant had been expected on Monday to miss multiple weeks with the ankle sprain. He had 42 or more receiving yards in three of his four games this season and scored a touchdown in Week 3.
| Footballguys view: Bryant is a future starting "X" receiver for the Broncos, and he does a good job working as a blocker and receiver who can move the chains with clutch catches. We love him in dynasty, but in redraft leagues he's a player that Fantasy GMs can move on from while he recovers. When Bryant is back, if the Broncos passing game turns it on, we'll circle back to adding him on the waiver wire. |

Broncos WR Pat Bryant is expected to miss multiple weeks after suffering an ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the 49ers, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Bryant went down after hauling in a 30-yard reception in the third quarter, his third catch of the game. He was then carted off the field, leaving Denver with Jaylen Waddle, Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims as their four healthy receivers against the 49ers. Denver also has four receivers on the practice squad. The hope is, this won't be a season-ending injury. Bryant's nine targets through the first three games of the 2026 season ranked fourth on the team. |

A cart came out for Broncos WR Pat Bryant after he was tackled by three 49ers defenders during Sunday's game in San Francisco. No details on the nature of the injury were immediately available.
| Footballguys view: Bryant got bent in multiple directions and it's possible he suffered a serious leg injury. The Broncos pass offense has been uneven after an offseason and summer filled with promise following the trade for Jaylen Waddle. Bo Nix hasn't taken the expected step forward in his third year, and it's going to be hard to do that later this season against an easier part of the schedule if Bryant is out. Nix has been better throwing the ball to Bryant than he has been throwing to Waddle or Courtland Sutton. |

Broncos | Jaylen Waddle, Marvin Mims 'WILL play' vs. 49ers; Tillman out with hamstring Sat Oct 3, 07:46 AM
Broncos WRs Jaylen Waddle and Marvin Mims Jr. will play against the 49ers on Sunday, while DE Dondrea Tillman is out with a hamstring injury, per Friday's updates. For San Francisco, DE Nick Bosa, DE Mykel Williams and DT James Thompson Jr. are out against the Broncos. LB Dre Greenlaw, WR Mike Evans, Keion White and LB Jaden Dugger are questionable.
| Footballguys view: Waddle and Mims bring big-play ability to the field on offense and (with Mims) on special teams. Last week, Waddle didn't do much against the Rams. Waddle caught 2-of-7 targets for 10 yards in the Broncos' Week 3 win over the Rams, adding 14 yards on one carry. This week against the 49ers, we like Waddle as a WR2 with upside. |
