Broncos WRs Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and K.J. Hamler (hamstring) are out for Sunday's game vs. the Raiders. WR Kendall Hinton (shoulder) is listed as questionable. WR Courtland Sutton and TE Greg Dulcich should be Denver's top 2 targets in this weekend's plus matchup.
Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy (ankle) remained sidelined on Thursday. He's looking unlikely to play vs. the Raiders this weekend, but we'll get another update on Jeudy's status for that one tomorrow.
Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. While he reportedly avoided a significant injury, his availability for this weekend's game vs. the Raiders is up in the air. For now, fantasy owners should prepare as if Jeudy won't play in that one. We'll update his status again tomorrow.
Broncos HC Nathaniel Hackett labeled WR Jerry Jeudy "day to day" with a "minor" ankle injury. That jibes with the report we got from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport earlier today. Jeudy's status for this weekend's game vs. the Raiders remains uncertain, but it sounds like he won't miss more than 1 game.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears that the ankle injury Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy suffered in Sunday's loss to the Titans is "mild." Per Rapoport, Jeudy is dealing with a strained muscle in the back of the ankle, and his status is "TBD" for this weekend's game vs. the Raiders. Jeudy owners should still line up an alternative for Week 11, but it sounds like Jeudy has a chance to play in that game and, at minimum, won't be out very long.
Broncos QB Russell Wilson finished Sunday's game with his 2nd-largest passing-yardage total of the season. His 286 yards were his most since Week 1. But so were his 42 attempts. Wilson completed just half of those, while taking 6 sacks and tossing an INT. He did manage an OK 6.8 yards per attempt, thanks in part to a 66-yard TD connection with rookie WR Jalen Virgil. WR Courtland Sutton led the team with 11 targets, 6 receptions and 66 yards (tying Virgil). Denver was missing WR K.J. Hamler and lost WR Jerry Jeudy during the game. WR Kendall Hinton and RB Melvin Gordon tied for 2nd on the team with 4 catches apiece. Rookie TE Greg Dulcich endured a disappointing day, catching just 1 of 4 targets for 11 yards. The Broncos face a more generous Raiders defense in Week 11.
Broncos HC Nathaniel Hackett didn't have a diagnosis on WR Jerry Jeudy's ankle injury after the loss to the Titans but did say, “We’re hoping that we dodged a bullet there.” That might suggest that Jeudy avoided a serious injury. We should learn more tomorrow.
Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy suffered an apparent left leg injury in the 1st quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Titans. He was able to limp off under his own power. We'll update Jeudy's status when we know more.
Update: Jeudy is officially questionable to return with an ankle injury.
Update: Jeudy has been downgraded to out.
Broncos QB Russell Wilson made it through his return from the hamstring injury in Sunday morning's victory over the Jaguars. He threw for 252 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT on 18-of-30 passing, adding 17 yards on the ground. Wilson targeted WR Jerry Jeudy most (7 times), connecting for a 6-63-1 receiving line. TE Greg Dulcich led the team with 87 receiving yards on 4 catches, finishing 2nd in targets (5). WR Courtland Sutton drew just 4 looks and caught only 1 for 13 yards. Denver likely welcomes a Week 9 bye and then gets 3 straight soft pass defenses: Titans, Raiders, Panthers.
Broncos HC Nathaniel Hackett said Friday morning that QB Russell Wilson (hamstring) will start Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars, barring a setback between now and then. Wilson, of course, had been struggling even before this hamstring injury. He's just a QB2 in Week 8 fantasy lineups, but we'd still consider him a tangible upgrade over QB Brett Rypien.
Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy led the team in targets (11), receptions (7) and receiving yards (96) in Sunday's loss to the Jets. He accounted for 23.9% of QB Brett Rypien's 43 pass attempts, 29.2% of his completions and 42.7% of the receiving yards. Rookie TE Greg Dulcich following, tying WR Courtland Sutton for 2nd on the team at 9 targets. He caught 6 of them for 51 yards. Sutton managed just 3 receptions for 23 yards. We'll see about QB Russell Wilson's status (hamstring) for a Week 8 visit to Jacksonville.
Broncos QB Russell Wilson has a partially torn hamstring, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports. That tends to be a multi-week injury, per Rapoport, so "there was virtually no chance" Denver was letting Wilson play vs. the Jets today. The Broncos play the Jaguars in London next week and then get a Week 9 bye, so it seems likeliest that Week 10 is the next time we see Wilson. We'll see how QB Brett Rypien fares today.
Broncos WR Courtland Sutton mustered only 2 catches for 14 yards against the Chargers in Week 6. This outcome surfaced despite the Bolts benching starting CB J.C. Jackson in the 2nd half. Sutton saw only 3 targets, behind both Jerry Jeudy (7) and Mike Boone (4). Sutton entered the night with 50+ yards in 5 straight, so this performance was certainly an outlier. But it’s a reminder that this passing game will continue to carry volatility for at least the foreseeable future. Week 7 turns up a home matchup with the Jets.
Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy rebounded in Week 4 with 4 catches for 53 yards and 1 score. His 5 targets ranked behind behind Courtland Sutton’s 7 and represented a 20% team share. The ‘Bama product caught a nice sideline deep ball from Russell Wilson and later made a slick sliding grab for his 2nd TD of 2022. Next up is a Thursday night home game vs. Indianapolis.
Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy played through his questionable tag for Sunday night's win over the 49ers. He spent 20 fewer snaps on the field than WR Courtland Sutton but ran only 9 fewer routes (39-30, according to Pro Football Focus). Sutton led the team, though, in targets (10), receptions (8) and receiving yards (97). No one else on the team reached 30 receiving yards. Jeudy added 2 catches for 17 yards on 6 targets. His 1 missed connection was a narrowly completed deep ball that got tipped by the covering corner just before reaching Jeudy's hands. We'd bet on that playing-time gap closing as Jeudy gets further beyond his Week 2 injury.
Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy (rib, shoulder) is active for tonight’s game vs. the 49ers. He got in just a limited practice on Friday and carries more risk in fantasy lineups than usual. But Jeudy is available if you were waiting on him.
Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy is “on track to play” Sunday against the 49ers, though he wants to see how his rib and shoulder injuries feel in pregame warmups, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy (rib, shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the 49ers. He returned to a limited practice on Friday after sitting out the previous 2 days. ESPN’s Jeff Legwold believes Jeudy has a “good chance” to play, but the late kickoff makes it a tricky situation for fantasy owners. We’ll see if we get a Jeudy update on Sunday morning.
