Broncos RB Javonte Williams rushed a team-leading 9 times for 59 yards and 1 score in Sunday’s win over Atlanta. Audric Estime mixed in with 6 attempts for 16 yards.
Broncos S Brandon Jones is inactive for today's game against the Falcons.
Broncos HC Sean Payton said Monday that RB Audric Estime will get more work going forward. We got a similar report from CBS' Tracy Wolfson on Sunday morning. Estime finished the loss to the Ravens with five carries -- and those all came in the fourth quarter.
Broncos WR Courtland Sutton had 10 targets against the Ravens, catching seven for 122 yards. He also threw a TD pass to QB Bo Nix. Despite the performance, the Broncos were crushed 41-10 by the Ravens.
Broncos QB Bo Nix had a disappointing day throwing for 223 yards and an interception with no passing TDs. He did catch a TD pass from WR Courtland Sutton in the game, but was unable to take advantage of a soft Ravens defense.
CBS' Tracy Wolfson reports that Broncos RB Audric Estime is expected to be more involved in today's game vs. the Ravens. The rookie has just 10 carries across four games this season, so "more involved" is a low bar to clear. Estime isn't a viable Week 9 fantasy play. But this report is another reason to shy away from RB Javonte Williams today against Baltimore's eighth-ranked RB defense.
Broncos RB Javonte Williams ran 14 times for 88 yards and two TDs in Thursday night's win over the Saints. He found more running room than he did in any of his previous six games this season and consistently added extra yards with his tackle-breaking ability. Per Pro Football Focus, Williams averaged 3.6 yards after contact per attempt. He tacked on 23 more yards on three receptions to go over 110 total yards on the night.
Broncos CB Pat Surtain II left Sunday's game agains the Chargers with a concussion. He entered the week outside the top 70 DBs in fantasy points per game, so there's not much IDP impact here. But missing their lead corner obviously hurts a Denver team D that has ranked among the best in fantasy so far. His absence would help Saints WRs in their Week 7 matchup if Surtain remains out. Of course, Chris Olave sustained a concussion Sunday as well. We'll see about both situations as the week goes on.
Broncos WR Josh Reynolds is out for Week 6 and “likely a few more weeks” after undergoing finger surgery, according to insider Aaron Wilson. WR Troy Franklin is the most likely candidate to take Reynolds’ snaps, but the rookie is not a viable Week 6 fantasy play.
Broncos RB Audric Estime (ankle) has been activated from IR and put in a full practice on Wednesday. It looks like he'll be available for this weekend's game vs. the Chargers. Estime lost a fumble and then hurt his ankle in the opener, so we wouldn't expect him to have a significant role in the short term. We'll see if the rookie can work his way into Denver's backfield rotation.
Broncos RB Javonte Williams went his fifth straight game without a TD in Week 5. But he delivered in the yardage department, racking up 61 yards on the ground; 50 yards through the air.
Broncos TE Greg Dulcich is a healthy scratch for today's game vs. the Raiders. He has just five catches on the season and zero over the last two games, so hopefully Dulcich wasn't part of your Week 5 fantasy plans.
Broncos RB Tyler Badie (back) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Raiders. We’ll see if rookie RB Blake Watson makes his debut, but RBs Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin figure to handle the vast majority of the backfield work.
Broncos RB Javonte Williams ran the ball 16 times for 77 yards. He also caught two of three targets for three yards. It was his best-rushing performance of the season.
Broncos RB Tyler Badie is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Jets with a back injury. He appeared to collapse on the sidelines and was taken away on a stretcher. We'll update his status when we know more. Badie's absence leaves Denver's backfield to Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin.
Update: Badie has been ruled out.
Broncos LB Alex Singleton suffered a torn left ACL in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers. HC Sean Payton had to confirm the injury after practice Wednesday because Singleton played through it for the rest of the game. The LB later reported soreness, and MRI confirmed the tear. He'll miss the rest of the season. Denver has Cody Barton, Justin Strnad, and Kristian Welch on the roster at non-edge LB. The Broncos also signed LBs Kwon Alexander and Zach Cunningham to the practice squad Wednesday. Barton is the best early bet to lead the group in playing time but is far from a sure thing to maintain that role the rest of the way.
Broncos WR Courtland Sutton was targeted early and often by QB Bo Nix with seven catches on 11 targets for 68 yards.
Broncos QB Bo Nix ran nine times for 47 yards and TD and threw 36 times completing 25 passes for 216 yards. Most importantly, he did not have an interception in the upset win against the Buccaneers.
Broncos WR Devaughn Vele is inactive for today's game vs. the Bucs. He missed Week 2 with a rib injury but was left off the final Week 3 injury report. WR Lil'Jordan Humphrey figures to continue handling slot duties for Denver's struggling passing game.
Broncos WR Devaughn Vele (ribs) is off the injury report and will be back for Sunday’s game vs. the Bucs. The rookie ranked third among Denver WRs in pass routes (31) and tied for second with eight targets in the opener. Hopefully you don’t need him in season-long leagues, but Vele could be a cheap flier in DFS tournaments.
