Broncos | Waddle held to 2 catches for 10 yards in win over Rams Mon Sep 28, 12:01 AM
Denver Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle ran 1 time for 14 yards and also caught 2 passes for 10 yards on 7 targets in Sunday's 30-26 win over the Los Angeles Rams. He was projected for 12.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 3.4.

Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix completed 17 of 34 passes for 186 yards with 2 touchdowns and 1 interception and added 4 times for 7 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-26 win over the Los Angeles Rams. He was projected for 17.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 21.1.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Jeff Legwold suggested, Nix was out of sorts in the first half, but managed to get the Broncos a win, despite a second-half interception. The Broncos scored on two of their first three possessions of the second half to turn a 16-0 Rams lead into a 16-16 game, and Nix led Denver to the game-winning score, a 1-yard QB sneak with 47 seconds left. It was his 12th career game-winning drive -- the most in the NFL since he entered the league in 2024. Still, Nix is QB24 on a points-per-game basis this season. |

Broncos rookie RB Jonah Coleman will be placed on short-term injured reserve on Saturday with a high-ankle sprain and will miss the next few games. Coleman is expected back for Denver's game against the Cardinals in late October. He had already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Broncos head coach Sean Payton said on Friday that TE Evan Engram is blocking "well," which is part of the reason his snap count is up.
| Footballguys view: Payton is right. Engram has done a much better job in that department this season, and it's leading to more playing time. In his first season with the Broncos, Engram was only on the field for around 40 percent of their snaps. This year, that number is pushing towards 60 percent of the snaps. The Broncos are using a tight end by committee with Engram, Nate Adkins, and Adam Trautman. That lessens the fantasy value for Engram even though he's clearly getting more involved. We like him as a TE2 with upside. |

Broncos WR Marvin Mims Jr. is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams with a foot injury.
| Footballguys view: Mims has taken a backseat to Jaylen Waddle, Courtland Sutton, Pat Bryant, and Troy Franklin. Even if he is active, you can't trust him as anything more than a unique flyer in DFS. |

Broncos RB RJ Harvey (hamstring) was a full participant in practice on Friday and was not assigned a game status for Sunday night's Week 3 game against the Rams. Harvey was inactive for Denver's Week 2 win over the Jaguars after being listed as questionable. RB J.K. Dobbins (hip) also has no game status after a second straight full practice, while rookie RB Jonah Coleman (ankle) was ruled out after missing practice for the third consecutive day.
| Footballguys view: The Broncos' running back room has been banged up early this year, and they'll have Harvey and Dobbins active in Week 3. Coleman showed flashes in Week 2, and excitement about a growing role was starting to build. With Coleman out, expect Dobbins to handle the early-down work and Harvey to see the field on passing downs. Both are RB3s who likely need a touchdown to pay off in your starting lineup. |

Broncos.com's Aric DiLalla reports that Denver WR Marvin Mims Jr. (foot) returned to practice on Wednesday as a limited participant after missing practice entirely last week and sitting out the Week 2 win over the Jaguars. RB J.K. Dobbins (hip) and RB RJ Harvey (hamstring) were also listed as limited participants on Wednesday, with Harvey having been ruled out in Week 2 after being questionable. RB Jonah Coleman (ankle) was the only Broncos player who did not practice at all. Denver hosts the Rams on Sunday Night Football, with a full injury report set to be released Thursday and game statuses on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Watch the Dobbins/Harvey situation here. Dobbins missed time against the Jaguars, but his hamstring/cramps/hip (whatever they're going to call it) injury was seen as minor, and we're expecting him on Sunday night against the Rams. Harvey missed Week 2, but he could return to provide the team with explosive plays as a runner (but primarily a receiver out of the backfield). |

Broncos RB Jonah Coleman is dealing with a sprained ankle he suffered in the Broncos' Week 2 win over the Jaguars, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.
| Footballguys view: It's a gut punch for Fantasy GMs who were thrilled to get Coleman off the waiver wire this week. J.K. Dobbins (hamstring/cramps) missed time against the Jaguars on Sunday, and Coleman came through in the 4-minute offense to seal the win with a touchdown for the Broncos late. Dobbins should be back this week for a Sunday night game against the Rams. Coleman's availability is unknown at this time. |
Jonah Coleman player page
According to The Athletic's Nick Kosmider, rookie RB Jonah Coleman figures to have a growing role in Denver's offense, even when the backfield is at full strength.
| Footballguys view: With RJ Harvey inactive due to a hamstring injury and J.K. Dobbins sidelined in the first half of Sunday's win over the Jaguars, Coleman finished the day with 58 total yards and a touchdown on 13 touches. He had 33 rushing yards on six carries during Denver's final drive alone. So, especially after he showed during his first big moment in the NFL that he can deliver knockout blows with the game on the line, fantasy managers should be making proactive moves to secure his services. |

A source tells News 9 in Denver's Mike Klis that Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins suffered leg cramps during Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
| Footballguys view: The issue was initially reported as a minor hamstring injury. The team will monitor Dobbins this week, but there is optimism they avoided a serious setback. That said, Jonah Coleman looked good with Dobbins and RJ Harvey, who was inactive due to a hamstring injury of his own, sidelined Sunday. |

Broncos.com reports that Denver WR Jaylen Waddle caught eight of 10 targets for 138 yards, including a 49-yard catch, in the team's win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Head Coach Sean Payton called Waddle's impact "significant," noting "you can see the explosiveness, the run after the catch, all of those things. I'm glad he's ours." Waddle was awarded a game ball following the win. Waddle was WR9 overall through Sunday's late afternoon games. |

Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins suffered an apparent left hamstring injury during Sunday's game. It occurred near the end of the third quarter with the Broncos trailing 13-6. Dobbins had 10 carries for 36 yards before leaving the game. Zac Stevens of DNVR Broncos on X said that head coach Sean Payton believed the injury to be "little."
| Footballguys view: With RJ Harvey already inactive due to a hamstring injury of his own, the Broncos relied on rookie Jonah Coleman to carry the load. Coleman had 10 carries for 39 yards and a touchdown. We'll be watching for more on Dobbins and Harvey as we head into Week 3. |

Broncos quarterback Bo Nix needed just three words to sum up the laundry list of woes in the team's 31-10 season-opening loss to the Kansas City Chiefs Monday night in Arrowhead Stadium. Nix said it was "pretty pitiful, actually."
| Footballguys view: In first-year offensive coordinator Davis Webb's regular-season debut as play-caller, the Broncos struggled. In their first three plays from scrimmage, Nix was sacked to open the drive and threw his first interception of the season on the third play to end the possession. He fumbled three times (losing one) to go with his first-quarter interception and was sacked four times -- tied for the most in any game of his career. The Broncos offense gained just 176 net yards and didn't have a play longer than 20 yards. Denver will look to rebound against a tough Jaguars defense in Week 2. |

Dan Graziano, from ESPN, believes Denver Broncos WR Pat Bryant "might force his way into a bigger role than expected."
| Footballguys view: Bryant was an emerging player for the Broncos as a rookie in 2025. A couple of concussions did prevent him from doing more, but he's healthy and ready to impress even more in his second season. Bryant is the future replacement for Courtland Sutton as Sean Payton's "X" receiver. However, he could play some big slot as well and will get on the field to collect targets behind Sutton, Jaylen Waddle, and RJ Harvey. |

Link to storyDenver Broncos TE Justin Joly was waived Sunday, Aug. 30, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Joly had a 88 yard touchdown in the last preseason game, but he had trouble adjusting to the NFL in camp and wasn't ready for a game day role. He didn't show enough for the team to feel like they couldn't expose him to waivers, but if he clears - which is possible with so many other players on the fringe available - then the Broncos should add him to the practice squad. |

Link to storyDenver Broncos FB Adam Prentice was waived on Saturday, Aug. 29. As a vested veteran, Prentice will start the season on the practice squad.

Link to storyUpdating a previous report, Denver Broncos WR Marvin Mims (foot) sustained a bruised foot during the first quarter of the preseason game versus the Minnesota Vikings Friday, Aug. 28, according to head coach Sean Payton. He was taken to the locker room for evaluation and did not return to action.
| Footballguys view: Mims is an explosive playmaker at the wide receiver position, and he's an All-Pro return man for the Broncos. He doesn't get much work on offense, even though Mims seems to make plays anytime the team relies on him. Mims is behind Jaylen Waddle, Courtland Sutton, and Pat Bryant on the depth chart. He's competing with Troy Franklin to round out the position behind the top three. |

Link to storyDenver Broncos RB Jonah Coleman could see 'plenty of work' in 2026, according to ESPN's Jeff Legwold.
| Footballguys view: Coleman should be a priority running back bench pick. He has JK Dobbins injury upside, and he has done enough to get into the running back rotation from day one. His emergence is making Dobbins and Harvey easier to skip going ahead of the rookie. |

Denver Broncos CB Riley Moss (ribs) is doing 'good' after exiting the team's preseason contest against the Green Bay Packers Friday, Aug. 21, according to head coach Sean Payton. He sustained an injury to his rib area in the first quarter and did not return to the game.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Broncos here. Until we get more reports about this injury, it seems like Moss could be out there against the Chiefs in Week 1. In a contract year in 2026, Moss is set to get a big payday if he plays like he did in the last half of the 2025 season. |
