Marvin Mims Marvin Mims Minimal involvement in win
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 2:35 PM
Mims rushed once for two yards and failed to record a single target in Sunday's 22-19 win over the Chiefs.
Analysis: Mims played 24 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps Sunday, his lowest snap share of the season. The 23-year-old wideout was not a big part of Denver's game plan, as he failed to record a single target for the first time this season and was held without a catch for the second time in nine appearances. The Oklahoma product is buried on the wide receiver depth chart behind Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant, as Bryant has seen an increase in usage in recent weeks. Based on his limited opportunities, should remain off the fantasy radar when the Broncos come out of their Week 12 bye for a matchup against the Commanders in Week 13. |

Tyler Badie Tyler Badie Non-factor against Chiefs
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 2:24 PM
Badie caught his lone target for zero yards in Sunday's 22-19 win over the Chiefs.
Analysis: Badie operated as Denver's No. 3 running back in Week 11, playing just eight of the Broncos' 62 offensive snaps. The Missouri product failed to record a single rushing attempt in the contest. Meanwhile, RJ Harvey stepped into the No. 1 role with J.K. Dobbins (foot) on IR, playing 38 snaps and handling 14 total touches. Badie is likely to continue to play a pass-catching role for the Broncos as the season progresses, with Jaleel McLaughlin handling primary backup duties behind Harvey. McLaughlin had six touches on his eight snaps and scored the only touchdown for the Broncos against a formidable Chiefs defense. The 25-year-old Badie will be difficult to trust for consistent production each week, making him a risky bet for fantasy managers when the Broncos return from their Week 12 bye to square off against the Commanders in Week 13. |

Jaleel McLaughlin Jaleel McLaughlin Scores rushing TD in win
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 9:11 AM
McLaughlin carried the ball six times for 19 yards and one touchdown during Denver's win over Kansas City on Sunday. He also secured his only target for minus-5 yards.
Analysis: McLaughlin had been a healthy scratch for nine of the Broncos' first 10 games, but he rejoined the team's backfield with J.K. Dobbins (foot) on IR and made the most of his opportunities. Rookie second-round pick RJ Harvey was more productive overall due to his involvement in the receiving game, but neither back found many holes versus Kansas City's standout defense. McLaughlin will reprise his No. 2 role versus the Commanders in Week 12, though he's unlikely to supply consistent fantasy value. |

Pat Bryant Pat Bryant Career-best day against KC
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 8:12 PM
Bryant caught five of six targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 22-19 win over Kansas City.
Analysis: The rookie wideout led the Broncos in catches while falling two yards shy of Troy Franklin's 84 for the team lead in that category. It was the best performance of Bryant's young career, and one that almost got short when he briefly left the game to get checked for a concussion after banging his helmet off the turf on a 48-yard reception from Bo Nix late in the third quarter. Bryant was cleared to return to the game, however. He'll head into a Week 12 bye having put together a 13-213-1 line on 21 targets over the last six games and emerging as Denver's WR3 behind Troy Franklin and Courtland Sutton. |

Troy Franklin Troy Franklin Leading receiver in big win
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 8:07 PM
Franklin caught four of eight targets for 84 yards in Sunday's 22-19 win over the Kansas City.
Analysis: The second-year wideout tied Courtland Sutton in receptions and targets, but it was Franklin who led the Broncos in receiving yards, including a 32-yard gain in the final minute of the fourth quarter that set up Wil Lutz for the game-winning field goal. Franklin's chemistry with Bo Nix continues to shine, and over the last five games he's delivered a 22-259-4 line on 45 targets, compared to Sutton's 18-267-1 line on 34 targets during the same period. |

Courtland Sutton Courtland Sutton Four grabs in Week 11 win
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 8:03 PM
Sutton caught four of eight targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 22-19 win over Kansas City.
Analysis: The veteran matched Troy Franklin in receptions and targets, but it was the second-year wideout who paced Denver with 84 receiving yards. Sutton has become the 1B to Franklin's 1A in the Broncos' passing game, and over the last six games he's posted a 19-284-1 line on 37 targets compared to Franklin's 25-278-4 line on 49 targets. |

RJ Harvey RJ Harvey Fails to make impact Sunday
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 7:58 PM
Harvey carried the ball 11 times for 30 yards and caught all three of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 22-19 win over Kansas City.
Analysis: With J.K. Dobbins (foot) done for the rest of the regular season, Harvey stepped into the top spot in the Broncos' backfield for the first time but failed to make much of an impact. Jaleel McLaughlin also vultured a four-yard TD in the third quarter that might have made Harvey's performance a little more palatable for fantasy investors. The rookie heads into a Week 12 bye with 439 scrimmage yards and six total touchdowns (two on the ground, four through the air) in his first 11 NFL games. |

Bo Nix Bo Nix Keeps Denver in win column
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 7:53 PM
Nix completed 24 of 37 passes for 295 yards without a touchdown or an interception in Sunday's 22-19 win over Kansas City. He added eight rushing yards on three carries.
Analysis: It was the first time all season Nix had failed to produce a TD, but his 295 passing yards were his highest total since Week 4, and the second-year QB came through when it mattered most, hitting Troy Franklin for a 32-yard gain inside the final minute of the fourth quarter to set up Wil Lutz's game-winning FG. Nix will head into the Broncos' Week 12 bye riding an eight-game win streak that has them firmly in control of the AFC West, two games ahead of the Chargers and four wins clear of KC. |

Evan Engram Evan Engram Posts 33 yards in victory
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 7:18 PM
Engram caught four of five targets for 33 yards in the Broncos' 22-19 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.
Analysis: Engram has yet to hit 50 yards receiving in a game this season and is playing less than 50 percent of the offensive snaps, as Adam Trautman is coach Sean Payton's preferred blocking tight end on early downs. Through 10 games, Engram has just 32 catches for 260 yards and one touchdown on 50 targets. He's not a recommended fantasy starter at tight end down the stretch as the Broncos head into their Week 12 bye. |

Marcedes Lewis Marcedes Lewis Elevated from practice squad
Sat, Nov 15, 2025, 6:27 PM
The Broncos elevated Lewis from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Luca Evans of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis: It's the third consecutive week that the veteran tight end has been elevated to the active roster, and he will be available for Sunday's game against the Chiefs as the Broncos' TE3 behind Evan Engram and Adam Trautman. Lewis didn't see a target from Bo Nix through his first two appearances with Denver. |

J.K. Dobbins J.K. Dobbins Move to IR official
Sat, Nov 15, 2025, 4:27 PM
The Broncos officially placed Dobbins (foot) on injured reserve Saturday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: There was worry that Dobbins' foot injury would require an IR stint, and while that has come to pass, he's now slated to miss at least the rest of the regular season after undergoing surgery on his foot, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. There's also the potential that Dobbins is healthy by the Super Bowl, if the Broncos happen to advance that far, but for as long as Dobbins is sidelined, rookie RJ Harvey will pace the team's backfield, while Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin are on hand for complementary roles. |

J.K. Dobbins J.K. Dobbins Could be healthy by Super Bowl
Sat, Nov 15, 2025, 3:17 PM
Dobbins, who will be placed on injured reserve due to a foot injury, may be ready to return in February if the Broncos advance to Super LX, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Getting all the way to the final game of the 2025 season may be difficult without Dobbins after he suffered a foot injury during a Week 10 win against the Raiders. The nature of the injury reportedly isn't a fracture but is a small ligament tear, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. While Dobbins is slated for surgery, rookie RJ Harvey is poised to lead the Broncos backfield moving forward, with Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin filling in behind him. |

J.K. Dobbins J.K. Dobbins Set for stint on IR
Sat, Nov 15, 2025, 2:34 PM
The Broncos are slated to place Dobbins on injured reserve, as the running back needs foot surgery that may end his season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Dobbins' 2025 campaign now is in peril due to the hip-drop tackle that he endured during Denver's Week 10 win against the Raiders. The team has yet to make the move to IR official, but if he indeed is out for the rest of the campaign, he'll finish it with 153 carries for 772 yards and four touchdowns and 11 catches (on 14 targets) for 37 yards. RJ Harvey is poised to lead the Broncos backfield for the foreseeable future. |

Nate Adkins Nate Adkins Won't play Week 11
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 6:55 PM
Adkins (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Analysis: Adkins will miss a third consecutive game due a knee injury that prevented him from participating in all three practices during Week 11 prep. Adam Trautman and Evan Engram will continue to serve as the Broncos' top tight ends on the active roster in Adkins' absence. With the Broncos on a bye for Week 12, Adkins will have more time to recover from his knee injury and try to be available for Week 13 against the Commanders on Sunday, Nov. 30. |

Jaleel McLaughlin Jaleel McLaughlin Set to rejoin backfield
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 5:02 PM
McLaughlin is on track to rejoin the Broncos' backfield after J.K. Dobbins (foot) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: McLaughlin has been a healthy scratch for nine of the first 10 regular-season games, with his lone appearance coming in Week 6 against the Jets, when he played just six offensive snaps. However, with Dobbins sidelined for Sunday's AFC West tilt, McLaughlin will join rookie second-rounder RJ Harvey and Tyler Badie in the backfield. McLaughlin posted 572 scrimmage yards through 16 regular-season games in 2024 and could see some touches while spelling Harvey and Badie. |

Marvin Mims Marvin Mims Cleared for return Sunday
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 4:38 PM
Mims (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs after practicing fully this week.
Analysis: Mims is thus slated to see his first game action since Week 8, with his looming return bolstering a Denver WR corps that also features Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin. In eight contests to date, Mims has caught 22 passes on 32 targets for 234 yards and a TD, a level of production that has limited his fantasy impact to deeper formats. He did have a pair of six-catch efforts in that span, but apart from that his output was modest in his other six outings. |

RJ Harvey RJ Harvey Set for RB1 role with Dobbins out
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 4:31 PM
Harvey is set to lead the Broncos backfield Sunday against the Chiefs with J.K. Dobbins (foot) ruled out for the contest.
Analysis: Dobbins emerged from last Thursday's win against the Raiders with a foot injury, and as of Tuesday, a move to injured reserve was considered a possibility for the sixth-year pro, per Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette. After Dobbins was ruled out for Week 11 action Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that the running back was in line to be out for an extended period. Harvey has recorded 10 or more touches in a game only once so far in his career (18 in Week 4), but the rookie second-round pick has impressed at times, averaging 4.3 yards on his 43 rushes, gathering in 25 of 29 targets for 175 yards and scoring six TDs in 10 appearances. Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin are the other RBs on Denver's active roster. |

J.K. Dobbins J.K. Dobbins Out Sunday, and possibly longer
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 4:22 PM
Dobbins, who has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, is believed to be sidelined for the foreseeable future due to a significant foot injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Per Rapoport, Dobbins is still working through his options, and while there's been no final determination, IR remains a possibility for the running back. In his looming absence, 2025 second-rounder RJ Harvey is poised to lead Denver's backfield, with Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin slated to work behind him in complementary roles. |

J.K. Dobbins J.K. Dobbins Still not practicing
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 3:29 PM
Dobbins (foot) remained sidelined at practice Friday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
Analysis: Dobbins hasn't practiced this week and is trending toward being ruled out later Friday, per Tomasson. If that ends up being the case, 2025 second-rounder RJ Harvey would be in line to lead Denver's backfield Sunday against the Chiefs, with Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin available to work in complementary roles. |

Trent Sherfield Trent Sherfield Logs full practice Thursday
Thu, Nov 13, 2025, 6:20 PM
Sherfield (toe) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Sherfield did not participate in Wednesday's practice due to a toe issue, but the injury doesn't appear to be severe as he was able to practice Thursday without limitations. Given his full practice, he should be available for Sunday's AFC West clash against the Chiefs. Sherfield caught three passes (on four targets) for 21 yards through the first five games of the regular season, but he has not recorded a target over the Broncos' last five games. |
