Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins suffered a left foot injury in Thursday night's win over the Raiders. He never sought treatment for it on the sideline, finished the game, and said afterward he was OK. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports, however, that Dobbins is "awaiting a second opinion" on the foot. You don't normally go seek that second opinion if the first doctor tells you you're fine.

J.K. Dobbins remained Denver's clear lead back in Thursday night's win over the Raiders, carrying 18 times for 77 yards. RB R.J. Harvey mustered just nine yards on his four carries. The rookie out-targeted Dobbins three to one but totaled only nine yards on his two grabs. Dobbins caught his lone target for seven yards.

There was very little to like in Denver's offense in Thursday night's 10-7 win over the Raiders. But WR Troy Franklin came away with a serviceable 5-40-1 receiving line. He scored the Broncos' only TD of the night on a slant from the slot from seven yards out in the second quarter. Franklin did a nice job using his body to shield a defender from the ball, making the grab through contact just beyond the goal line. He also had a key 18-yard catch-and-run to convert a third-and-one late in the fourth quarter.

Broncos WR Marvin Mims (concussion) is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Raiders. He got in limited practices on Tuesday and Wednesday but wasn't able to clear protocol. Rookie Pat Bryant will operate as Denver's No. 3 WR for the second straight game but is only in play in single-game daily contests.

Broncos QB Bo Nix endured a predictably tough passing day in Sunday's matchup with (arguably) the league's best defense in Houston. He completed just 18 of 37 passes for 173 yards. Nix did connect for a pair of TD passes, though, including one early in the fourth quarter. Nix also racked up 34 of his 36 rushing yards on the team's final drive, setting up the game-winning FG.

Broncos WR Troy Franklin managed just 4 receptions for 27 yards in Sunday's matchup with a tough Houston defense. But he drew a team-high 10 targets, beating No. 2 Courtland Sutton by four. That marked the third straight game of 8+ targets for Franklin after he averaged 6.0 targets per game through the first six weeks.

Broncos RB RJ Harvey caught a team-high five passes for a team-high 51 yards in Sunday's win over the Texans. He caught the second of two Bo Nix TD passes, scoring from 27 yards out in the fourth quarter. Harvey added just 5 rushing yards on two carries. But that usage masked a notable playing-time increase.

Broncos WR Marvin Mims (concussion) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Texans. Pat Bryant should see a boost in snaps as Denver’s No. 3 WR, but the rookie isn’t a recommended fantasy starter against a tough secondary.

Broncos RB RJ Harvey delivered one of the most efficient fantasy days of the 2025 season in Sunday’s win over Dallas. The rookie took 7 carries for 46 yards and 2 TDs, adding a 5-yard TD on his lone target.

Broncos WR Marvin Mims sustained a concussion in Sunday’s win over the Cowboys, according to The Denver Post’s Troy Renck. It’s Mims' first documented concussion but leaves him iffy for Week 9. He’s been operating as Denver’s No. 3 WR, averaging 4.0 targets per game. Mims’ absence would likely mean a boost in snaps for rookie WR Pat Bryant.

The league on Monday suspended Broncos LB Dre Greenlaw one game for comments he directed at referee Brad Allen right after Denver's game-winning FG Sunday against the Giants. Greenlaw reportedly plans to appeal and has three days to do so.

Broncos QB Bo Nix went off for 279 passing yards and 4 total scores in Sunday’s stunning comeback win over the Giants. Nix recorded 170 passing yards and all four TDs in the fourth quarter alone, supporting the QB1 fantasy finish for Week 7.

Broncos LB Dre Greenlaw is active for today's game against the Giants. Denver activated him from IR Saturday. The veteran has yet to play this season -- his first with the Broncos -- because of a nagging quad injury that originated in April. DC Vance Joseph said Greenlaw would open in a "part-time" role. We'll see exactly how much playing time that means and how quickly Denver wants to ramp him up. But he's not an IDP option for this week.

The Broncos have opened the 21-day practice window for LB Dre Greenlaw, who spent the past four weeks on IR for a nagging quad injury. That gives the team three weeks to either activate Greenlaw or put him on season-ending IR.

Neither the Broncos nor the Jets had much success on offense in London on Sunday. Denver RB J.K. Dobbins rushed 14 times and was held to 40 yards in Denver's 13-11 win. As a team, the Broncos mustered only 78 rushing yards on 26 attempts. Dobbins' 2.9 yards per carry average and 4.0 PPR points were his lowest output of the season.

Broncos RB Tyler Badie is a healthy scratch for today's game vs. the Jets. He'd been playing a small (but annoying) passing-down role, but Denver will instead go with Jaleel McLaughlin as No. 3 RB for this one. McLaughlin could just step into Badie's role -- or we could see a few extra passing-down snaps for RBs J.K. Dobbins and R.J. Harvey.

Broncos QB Bo Nix didn't come close in Week 5 to matching his big fantasy score against Cincinnati the previous week. But we didn't expect him to. Nix posted season-high numbers at home against a floundering Bengals defense in Week 4. Sunday's game found him on the road against a Philadelphia defense that hasn't been as good as last year -- 14th in total DVOA, 11th vs. the pass -- but posted a much bigger challenge. Nix struggled through the first half at Philly, going just 10-of-21 for 79 yards. But he went 14-of-18 after the break for 163 yards, 1 TD, and the 2-point conversion pass to WR Troy Franklin that put his team ahead.

Broncos rookie RB RJ Harvey managed just 12 yards on four carries in Sunday's win over the Eagles. He added 3 receptions for 18 yards among three targets. That did mark his third straight game with at least 3 catches, but Harvey's playing time also reverted badly after what seemed like a breakthrough Week 4 vs. Cincinnati.

TE Evan Engram scored his first TD as a Bronco in Sunday's win over the Eagles and did so in decently impressive fashion. Engram took a short throw over the middle from 11 yards out and then weaved through the defense and extended across the goal line while being tackled. That marked one of his 4 catches, which ranked second on the team. Engram tallied 33 yards and also ranked second among Broncos with six targets. His TD was Bo Nix's only passing score for the game. But don't overlook the key issue that remains in his usage.

After averaging 178.3 passing yards in his first three games of the season, QB Bo Nix shredded the depleted Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football to cap off Week 4. Nix threw for 326 yards and 2 TDs and rushed 6 times for 7 yards and another score as the Broncos ended their 2-game losing streak.
