One to watch heading into the season: Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy is being carted off at practice with an apparent hamstring injury.

Early prognosticators believe the best-case scenario would leave Jeudy out for Week 1, while something more severe could immediately land him on the PUP. It seems like even moderate timetables put him at a six-week recovery from today, so it would seem that he is going to be missing some game time regardless, unless we see an additional report about a mistaken diagnosis. Conservatively, we should be ignoring Jeudy at his ADP and push him far down draft boards until we hear otherwise.

The Broncos are picking up the fifth-year option on WR Jerry Jeudy, locking him in for 2024. No surprise, they had plenty of interest from teams wanting to trade for him, but Jeudy is a big part of their future.

"Plenty of interest" seems like quite the stretch, considering the rumors that the team was shopping both Jeudy and Courtland Sutton for months now. The team also spent a second-round pick on Marvin Mims. A fading Russell Wilson needs all the help he can get, but this could possibly point toward a future trade involving Sutton.

As it stands, Jeudy finds himself somewhere in the WR3 range for fantasy.

Broncos WR K.J. Hamler recently underwent surgery after suffering a partially torn pec while training on his own. The recovery timeline is four to six months, giving Hamler a chance to be ready right around the start of training camp in late July.

Hamler was limited to just six games in 2022 while recovering from a knee injury and dealing with hamstring issues. You hate to see another injury setback to the 23-year-old but we'll see how this influences his future with the Denver Broncos.

On WR Courtland Sutton’s hamstring injury Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett said today “it’s not looking good right now” for Sutton to play Sunday against the Chiefs.

Jeudy should serve as the team's top WR target, but obviously he's not an attractive play given the struggles of the Broncos offense this season. Dulcich could also get a bump in targets and, as we reported Tuesday, he's been working more as a WR as of late.

Jerry Jeudy will not practice for a second straight day, per Nathaniel Hackett.

Things aren't trending well for Jeudy or, according to a separate report, WR Kendall Hinton. Week 11 should set up as another double-digit target game for Courtland Sutton.

Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy is getting an MRI on his ankle, but heading into the MRI, the belief is he strained a muscle behind his ankle. He couldn't put any pressure on it yesterday, so he couldn't run routes. Testing will tell how long he's out.

If Jeudy is forced to miss extensive time, Courtland Sutton would become the team's WR1 and de facto target hog. The only problem is, Russell Wilson, and this offense in general, will still cap his ceiling as a fantasy WR2. Kendall Hinton easily recorded a career-high with his 47 routes in Week 10, turning five targets into four receptions and 62 yards.

The worst is confirmed for Patrick, and he'll miss the 2022 season. Hamler should see an increased role as the team's WR3, but it could also mean more passing work for the RBs and TE Okwuegbunam.

Tim Patrick is getting carted off the field at Broncos camp after twisting his leg coming down from a crazy leaping catch.

The tweet said the entire team is huddled around him as he gets loaded onto the cart. We'll have to wait for more information but this doesn't sound good. Patrick was the team's WR3 behind Sutton and Jeudy. It could mean Hamler and Hinton get a chance at that spot if Patrick has to miss extended time.
