Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy was placed on the COVID list on Friday, making him a long shot to play vs. the Chargers on Sunday. WR Tim Patrick is also on the COVID list, so Denver will likely be down to WRs Courtland Sutton, Kendall Hinton and Diontae Spencer. Sutton and TEs Noah Fant and Albert Okwuegbunam should get target boosts this weekend, but it's still tough to get excited about any of them with QB Drew Lock.
Broncos WR Tim Patrick has been placed on the COVID list. He'll likely miss Sunday's game vs. the Chargers. Patrick has averaged 5 targets per game this season, so his absence leaves some extra volume for Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton and Noah Fant. It'd still be tough to trust any of those guys in Week 17 fantasy lineups.
Broncos HC Vic Fangio confirmed on Wednesday that QB Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Raiders. QB Drew Lock will make his 1st start of the season in that one. The 3rd-year QB is the polar opposite of Bridgewater: big-armed, aggressive but inaccurate. We'll see exactly what Lock means for Denver's WRs, but we'd try to avoid Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick in Week 16 fantasy lineups.
The Broncos and WR Courtland Sutton have agreed to a 4-year, $60.8 million extension with $34.9 million guaranteed, his agency tells NFL Network. Sutton was set to hit free agency in March but is now signed with Denver through the 2025 season. Denver also recently extended WR Tim Patrick through 2024. WR Jerry Jeudy is also under team control through 2024. Now if the Broncos could just find a QB ...
Broncos WR Tim Patrick (knee) got in just 2 limited practices this week and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles. Patrick has remained a key cog in Denver's passing game even since WR Jerry Jeudy returned. So his absence on Sunday would be a boost to Jeudy and WR Courtland Sutton's outlooks.
Broncos OC Pat Shurmur is in COVID protocols and won't be available for Sunday's game against the Eagles, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. Shurmur is Denver's offensive play-caller, so it's less-than-ideal for QB Teddy Bridgewater and Denver's skill-position guys.
Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. Washington. It’ll be his first action since suffering a high-ankle sprain in the opener. Jeudy is a risk/reward play in Week 8 fantasy lineups.
The Broncos are activating WR Jerry Jeudy from IR (ankle). NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that "he's on track to make his return" against Washington on Sunday. Jeudy will carry some risk for fantasy football lineups, but also intriguing upside. Check our WR rankings to see if he's worth a shot for your team.
Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy was given Friday off with soreness in his ankle after practicing the previous 3 days. HC Vic Fangio still expects Jeudy to play vs. Washington on Sunday, but it's a situation worth monitoring. Jeudy will be a risk/reward fantasy play if he ends up active.
NFL Network's James Palmer confirms that Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy will be back for Sunday's game vs. Washington. He's been out since suffering a high-ankle sprain back in Week 1. Jeudy racked up 6 catches on 7 targets for 72 yards in a little more than 1 half of action in the opener. He returns for a meeting with the league's worst defense in terms of adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs.
The Broncos expect to get WR Jerry Jeudy (ankle) back for Week 8, according to NFL Network's James Palmer. Jeudy has been sidelined since suffering a high-ankle sprain in the season opener. He was designated to return last Saturday, so he'll have had 2 weeks to ramp up before next Sunday's game vs. Washington. Jeudy should be rostered in all fantasy leagues at this point.
Broncos HC Vic Fangio said Monday that WR Jerry Jeudy's chance of playing vs. the Browns on Thursday night is "less than 50%." Jeudy was just designated to return from IR on Saturday after his Week 1 high-ankle sprain. A Week 8 return seems like the most likely scenario.
The Broncos designated WR Jerry Jeudy (ankle) to return from IR. He obviously won't play vs. the Raiders tomorrow but is eligible to practice this coming week. We'll see if Jeudy can get ready for next Thursday night's game vs. the Browns. A Week 8 return is probably more realistic. Grab Jeudy now if he was dropped in your league.
Broncos HC Vic Fangio said Wednesday that WR Jerry Jeudy is making "very good" progress in his recovery from his high-ankle sprain. Fangio added that there's "hope" Jeudy will end up missing 6 weeks. That'd put him back in Week 8, which seems like the best-case scenario at this point. If you've hung on to Jeudy this long, we'd keep hanging.
The Broncos placed WR Jerry Jeudy on IR with his high-ankle sprain. That means he'll miss at least the next 3 games. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Monday that Jeudy is expected to be sidelined 4-6 weeks. Denver's bye isn't until Week 11, so Jeudy doesn't catch a break there. We'd try to keep him stashed on fantasy rosters after Jeudy caught 6 balls for 72 yards in less than 3 quarters of action in the opener.
Broncos HC Vic Fangio confirmed Monday that WR Jerry Jeudy suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday’s win. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the team expects Jeudy to miss 4-6 weeks.
Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy injured his right leg in the 3rd quarter of Sunday's opener vs. the Giants. He was able to get up but was eventually carted back to the locker room. We'll update Jeudy's status when we know more.
Update: X-rays on Jeudy's ankle came back negative, and the team believes he's dealing with a high-ankle sprain. We should get a better idea of how long Jeudy will be out on Monday.
Broncos HC Vic Fangio informed the team this morning that Teddy Bridgewater has won the starting QB job over Drew Lock. It looked like a dead heat until Bridgewater turned in an excellent outing in the 2nd preseason game, going 9 of 11 for for 105 yards and a TD. Bridgewater sits 10th among 80 qualifiers in Pro Football Focus' preseason passing grades. Lock ranks 37th. Bridgewater isn't an exciting player or high-upside fantasy option. But he's steady and accurate. And Denver's strong group of pass-catchers could turn him into a spot-start option for fantasy teams this year. We like this news for the fantasy value on the Broncos' pass-catchers, especially WR Jerry Jeudy.
