Today’s QB update: Jarrett Stidham was once again the most steady QB. Along with good decision making, Stidham also had two completions for 15 yards.

Nix once again displayed his speed on the ground, but struggled to find much beyond five yards down the field, the post went on to say. Other Bronco beat writers seem to be right in step with this saying Stidham was the most productive followed by Nix and Wilson. It's possible Stidham could be a bridge starter at QB until Nix is more polished.

Troy Frankin's been coached pretty vocally and pretty hard out there.

You see flashes here and there, but I don't think he's likely to be starting, let alone a big part of the plan this year.

Sutton, Mims and Reynolds are probably the starters with Patrick first man off the bench, Albright went on to say in his post. Franklin has been a popular later-round target in dynasty formats but it doesn't appear he's going to have re-draft value just yet.

Greg Dulcich is back on the field at the outset of training camp and has wasted little time reminding observers why he can be an impact player if he’s on the field. If he can just, at long last, stay healthy.

Like in a Saturday red zone drill, where he hauled in a touchdown in the back corner of the end zone on a pretty throw from Bo Nix.

“Each day you’re seeing a glimpse and you are seeing plays,” head coach Sean Payton said. “Most importantly for the player, you’re seeing his confidence. … That’s really player growth. You can’t wish for that. It can’t be false confidence. It’s generally earned and it’s from accomplishing something. I think we’re seeing that with Greg.”

Dulcich has been missing for the Broncos quite often over the last two seasons. It seems like a long time ago he was the talk of dynasty leagues for his potential at the position. He only played in two games last season and didn't make it through either game. Dulcich has mostly been plagued by hamstring and foot injuries. He can certainly be had later in drafts if you want to take a chance on him as he's just 42nd on our list.

The Broncos signed WR Courtland Sutton to a restructured contract that can pay him up to $15.2 million this season, including $1.5M in new incentives.

Sutton reported to training camp on time, and Denver sweetened the deal for one of its team leaders.

After a year-plus of trade rumors, the Broncos have locked in their WR1. Sutton is the clear clubhouse leader to top the team in targets, but everyone behind him is still a question mark, including Franklin, who played with QB Bo Nix in Oregon.

Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton said Tuesday the team's three quarterbacks, including rookie Bo Nix, will open training camp getting equal time with the starting offense but offered no guarantee how long that rotation would last.

Nix, Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson split the work with the starting offense during the offseason program and will split the work initially when the team begins its training camp practices Wednesday.

Payton made it clear if one of the quarterbacks earns more work with the starters early on, he will get more. Nix, of course, is the rookie selection from this past spring and reports say he had a good spring. The story added Payton had lauded Nix's maturity, decision-making, accuracy and composure throughout the Broncos' offseason program.

Speaking of Josh Reynolds’ departure, Jameson Williams isn’t the only option to make up for his production. Antoine Green, a 2023 seventh-round pick, has good speed, and the Lions liked how he developed to end the season. He spent time repping with the first-team offense this spring.

The Lions look as if they will be rotating bodies behind Williams and Amon-Ra St. Brown, but Green is an interesting name to bank for super deep leagues. Green had all of two targets last season but made a splash in the team's final 2023 preseason game when he took a 70-yard catch to the house en route to a 3-97-1 stat line.

Tight end Greg Dulcich, who dealt with hamstring injuries throughout the 2023 season, worked out on the side, but Payton noted the third-year player is “close” to full participation and won’t have to be held out of training camp.

With Dulcich missing almost the entirety of last year, there was basically no tight end usage in the passing game, with Trautman leading the room with 22 catches. Dulcich shouldn't be considered in typical redraft leagues but makes for a good stash in Dynasty.

The Jets are trading QB Zach Wilson to the Denver Broncos. The deal: Wilson and a 7th to Denver for a 6th.

It's hard to picture this prohibiting the team from taking a QB in the NFL Draft but it certainly insulates them a little bit if they end up unable to move up where they want. Wilson's dynasty SuperFlex value will at least improve in the short term.

Wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey is returning to the Broncos on a one-year deal.

Related Players: Tim Patrick, Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims

Humphrey was sneakily second on the team in slot snaps (154) last season, behind Jerry Jeudy (291), who is now in Cleveland. Marvin Mims figures to take at least some of those snaps, assuming the team cuts back on his "go" routes and actively incorporates him into the offense. Humphrey can be passed over in fantasy drafts.

The Broncos are strongly considering having QB Russell Wilson sit for the final two games, preserving financial flexibility for the offseason.

Wilson has $37M in 2025 salary that vests in March of 2024, and if he suffered a serious injury, it would complicate matters.

Well this is quite the bombshell. The Broncos have a very good fantasy matchup coming up this weekend, as Wilson was in-line for a face-off against a pedestrian Chargers defense. Stidham offers a decent top-18 option, if he were to get the nod. We'll keep an eye on this story for the rest of the week.
