Bo Nix

DEN Quarterback #10

Sean Payton said Bo Nix will start the Broncos’ upcoming preseason game against the Packers.

Per Payton, Nix will also get the majority of the first-team reps in practice this week. Jarrett Stidham got the same treatment heading into his start in the Broncos’ preseason opener versus the Colts. Nix went 15-of-21 for 125 yards and a touchdown in relief of Stidham in that game. A good outing this week should lock him in as the Broncos’ Week 1 starter. If he struggles, the door will remain cracked for Stidham to get the nod in Week 1.
Ben DiNucci

BUF Quarterback #11

Bills signed QB Ben DiNucci, formerly of the Broncos.

DiNucci spent last season on the Broncos practice squad and hasn’t played a regular-season snap since 2020. The veteran backup joins a Bills team that lost Shane Buechele to a neck injury in their first preseason game and will likely see some snaps in the team’s upcoming preseason game against the Steelers.
Lucas Krull

DEN Tight End #85

TE Lucas Krull caught 4-of-4 targets for 37 yards and one fumble lost in the Broncos’ preseason game against the Colts.

Krull mixed in for one first-team-offense snap, playing behind starter Adam Trautman (0 targets) and Greg Dulcich (who caught 1-of-2 targets for 5 yards). Should the Broncos continue their tight end quagmire, none of the three will be fantasy-relevant.
Devaughn Vele

DEN Wide Receiver #81

WR Devaughn Vele caught 1-of-3 targets for 8 yards in the Broncos’ preseason game against the Colts on Sunday.

Vele, a seventh-round rookie out of Utah, notably played ahead of fourth-round rookie Troy Franklin (caught 0-of-1 targets). The development pushes Franklin to the edge of late-round dart-throw status while elevating Vele to dynasty waiver wire lists.
Marvin Mims Jr.

DEN Wide Receiver

WR Mavin Mims Jr. caught 2-of-3 targets for 17 yards and one touchdown in the Broncos’ preseason game against the Colts.

PFF’s Nathan Jahnke notes Mims was in the for the Broncos’ first offensive snap before being subbed out for journeyman Josh Reynolds (caught 1-of-2 targets for 11 yards), who handled No. 3 WR duties with the first-team offense. Mims returned to play on the fourth drive and played well into the third quarter. It is a situation to monitor closely next week.
Tim Patrick

DEN Wide Receiver #12

WR Tim Patrick caught 1-of-1 targets for 14 yards in the Broncos preseason game against the Colts on Sunday.

Patrick played on 11 of the first-team offense’s first 12 snaps, suggesting he is currently the team’s No. 2 wide receiver. The snaps were Patrick’s first in-game since 2021, having suffered summer ACL and Achilles tendon injuries in consecutive seasons. The development suddenly places Patrick on the late-round-value radar.
Courtland Sutton

DEN Wide Receiver #14

WR Courtland Sutton caught 2-of-3 targets for 35 yards in the Broncos preseason game against the Colts on Sunday.

Sutton and the first-team offense stayed on-field for the third drive, taking repetitions with Broncos’ No. 2 QB on Sunday, Bo Nix. Sutton is the clear-cut No. 1 WR and helpfully took three snaps lined up in the slot (14.3 percent rate).
Blake Watson

DEN Running Back #43

RB Blake Watson rushed 9 times for 26 yards and one touchdown and caught his lone target for 33 yards in the Broncos preseason game against the Colts.

Watson did not enter the game until the fourth quarter, likely ending his late-round fantasy viability but his pass-catching juice remains undeniable. Watson should be safely stashed on dynasty taxi squads.
Audric Estime

DEN Running Back #37

RB Audric Estime rushed 10 times for 33 yards, 1 touchdown and 1 fumble lost and caught 3-of-3 targets for 13 yards.

It was an up-and-down performance for the rookie, who currently sits fourth on the Broncos depth chart. The fumble aside, Estime impressively earned a positive aDOT (1.4 yards) and tallied three total first downs gained. His 66.7 percent conversion rate on three green zone carries bodes positively for a potential specialized role down the road.
Jaleel McLaughlin

DEN Running Back #38

RB Jaleel McLaughlin rushed 7 times for 30 yards and caught 2-of-3 targets for 26 yards in the Broncos preseason game against the Colts.

McLaughlin played very well as Javonte Williams’ primary rushing backup, forcing two missed tackles on the ground and adding an explosive, 15-plus-yard pass play through the air. It was a strong showing for the change-of-pace player. He also returned one kickoff for 21 yards.
