Analysis: Adkins' availability for Week 15 was initially suspected when the Broncos waived fellow tight end Marcedes Lewis on Thursday. Adkins has been absent since Week 9 with a persistent knee injury, and his return to the lineup is a valuable addition to a Broncos team that is attempting to secure the AFC's top seed. Adkins has six receptions for 48 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets through six games this season. The 26-year-old's ability to block for the run and pass game is arguably more valuable to the team, but he also has solid receiving upside.

Analysis: Bryant could not practice in any capacity this week due to a hamstring injury, and he'll be forced to sit out at least one game as he works to get healthy. With the rookie third-round pick unavailable, Marvin Mims and Lil'Jordan Humphrey will stand to see increased target opportunities alongside Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin.

Analysis: Bryant has missed Denver's first two practices in Week 15. He'll likely need to practice in some capacity Friday to avoid being ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers. If Bryant's unable to play, it would be the first absence of the rookie third-round pick's NFL career.

Analysis: Adkins has missed the Broncos' last five games due to a knee injury, but his return to practice Wednesday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- is a sign that he is progressing in his recovery. He has two more chances to log a full practice and be cleared to play against the Packers on Sunday. Adam Trautman and Marcedes Lewis will continue to provide depth at tight end behind Evan Engram for as long as Adkins is sidelined.

Analysis: A hamstring issue limited Bryant this past Thursday and Friday, but the wideout approached Week 14 action without an injury designation before recording a 47 percent snap share in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Raiders, a game in which he caught all four of his targets for 32 yards. With no reported setbacks, it's possible that Bryant's 'DNP' on Wednesday was maintenance-related. Added context on that front will arrive via the Broncos' next injury report.

Analysis: McLaughlin played just 10 of the Broncos' 74 offensive snaps Sunday, behind both RJ Harvey (50) and Tyler Badie (12). The 25-year-old running back was unable to get much going with his limited opportunities, as Harvey continued to establish himself as the No. 1 option out of the backfield while recording 100 total scrimmage yards on 23 touches and a touchdown. McLaughlin remains a solid insurance policy in the event that Harvey misses time down the stretch, but barring an injury, McLaughlin should not be trusted for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Packers.

Analysis: Bryant maintained his recent run of increased usage by finishing second in receiving behind Courtland Sutton (6-62-0) in Sunday's win. The 22-year-old Bryant has quietly averaged 43.2 yards a game over the Broncos' last six contests. Bryant's recent bump in production has put him on the map for those in deeper formats when the Broncos host the Packers in Week 15.

Analysis: The Broncos nicked and cut the Raiders' defense with a bunch of underneath routes Sunday, resulting in Sutton leading the team in targets, receptions and yardage on modest totals. The 29-year-old has been a steady fantasy option with game averages of 4.3 receptions and 59.5 yards to go along with five touchdowns across 13 starts. Sutton should continue providing a high floor for fantasy managers when the Broncos host the Packers next Sunday.

Analysis: After breaking out for season-high marks with six catches and 79 receiving yards last Sunday versus Washington, Engram finished with his second-lowest receiving yardage tally in Week 14. The veteran tight end hasn't really been able to get going in his first year with the Broncos, managing a modest 40 catches for 347 yards and just one touchdown through 12 games. He'll be a low-end fantasy option in Week 15 against a Packers defense that ranks in the top half of the league in most categories versus tight ends.

Analysis: Harvey continued his recent success as Denver's lead back with a return trip to the end zone after scoring twice on the ground in Week 13. The second-round rookie took full advantage of the soft defensive matchup by cracking the century mark in yards from scrimmage for the first time in his promising career. Harvey made his mark primarily as a receiving back earlier this season, but he is getting an opportunity to flash his all-around game with J.K. Dobbins (foot) on injured reserve. Harvey should be viewed as a starting option in standard fantasy formats for next Sunday's tilt against the Packers.

Analysis: Nix was methodical against the Raiders' coverage Sunday, completing over 80 percent of his pass attempts en route to earning his team's 11th victory of the season. The Broncos played an excellent game of ball control, nearly doubling the opposition's 20:57 time of possession. This was exhibited best on Denver's opening drive that ate up just under nine minutes of game clock, which culminated in Nix's fourth rushing touchdown of the season, tying the mark he set last year as a rookie. The Broncos' special teams and running game finished off the Raiders, which helped contribute to the signal-caller's pedestrian individual contribution to fantasy managers' box scores in Week 14. Nix will face a stiffer test next time out when the Broncos host the Packers next Sunday.

Analysis: Lewis was elevated from the practice squad three consecutive times before the Broncos' Week 13 bye, and now must be signed to the active roster to continue to play for the team. The veteran tight end has been primarily used as a blocker, seeing 38 offensive snaps through three games as a replacement for tight ends Nate Adkins (knee) and Lucas Krull (foot). The Bronocs waived linebacker Garret Wallow in a corresponding move to make room for Lewis on the active roster, and the tight end will likely remain there until either Adkins or Krull can return to the field.

Analysis: Adkins did not participate at practice at all during the week, as he continues to tend to a knee injury he suffered in Week 8 versus the Cowboys. Adam Trautman and two-time Pro Bowler Evan Engram are currently the only two healthy tight ends on Denver's 53-man roster.

Analysis: Bryant was a midweek addition to Denver's injury report Thursday, when he was limited due to a hamstring issue. He maintained that activity level Friday, despite taking part in the team stretch before not doing much during individual drills, per Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post. Nevertheless, Bryant will be available to the Broncos offense Week 14 on the heels of recording at least 40 receiving yards in four of his last five contests.

Analysis: Bryant wasn't on the Broncos' initial injury report, so it's possible the wideout's hamstring issue occurred during Thursday's session. Friday's report thus is set to clarify whether Bryant approaches Sunday's game against the Raiders with an injury designation or cleared for Week 14 action. Over his last two contests, the 2025 third-round pick has combined to record eight catches (on 13 targets) for 124 yards.

Analysis: Adkins hurt his knee during a game against Dallas on Oct. 26. Though the Broncos have elected against placing Adkins on IR to this point, the tight end hasn't practiced since getting hurt and has missed four consecutive contests. Adam Trautman has worked as Denver's No. 2 tight end while Adkins has been out and will presumably continue to do so until Adkins returns.

Analysis: Mims was unable to get much going with his three touches Sunday, as the 23-year-old wideout was not used downfield in Denver's passing attack. The third-year receiver played just 28 of the Broncos' 70 offensive snaps, behind Courtland Sutton (57), Pat Bryant (49) and Troy Franklin (37). Mims has played over 50 percent of snaps just twice this season and has not hit that snap share since Week 7. The Oklahoma product should not be trusted for fantasy purposes when the Broncos visit the Raiders in Week 14.

Analysis: Bryant's seven targets were a career high for the rookie wide receiver. The 22-year-old wideout played 49 of the Broncos' 70 offensive snaps Sunday, second behind Courtland Sutton (57) and ahead of Troy Franklin (37), Marvin Mims (23) and Lil'Jordan Humphrey (14). Bryant continues to see his opportunities increase in Denver's offense, providing quarterback Bo Nix with yet another playmaker in their aerial attack. The Illinois product is worth monitoring going forward, but with so many mouths to feed in the Broncos offense, he'll likely struggle to consistently produce for fantasy purposes. Bryant will look to take another step forward, however, when the Broncos visit the Raiders in Week 14.

Analysis: McLaughlin played 13 of Denver's 70 offensive snaps Sunday, his highest snap count of the season but the lowest total of any Broncos running back in the contest. Meanwhile, starter RJ Harvey and Tyler Badie played ahead of the 25-year-old McLaughlin, seeing the field for 33 and 18 offensive snaps, respectively. McLaughlin rushed six times and recorded one reception for the second straight game, and with such limited usage, he is unlikely to present much fantasy value most weeks. The Youngstown State product serves as a solid insurance policy behind Harvey but should not be trusted in fantasy lineups in Week 14 when the Broncos visit the Raiders.

Analysis: Nix required the extra overtime period in order to put away the now 3-9 Commanders and extend the Broncos' current win streak to nine games. The 45 attempts and 321 passing yards marked the second-highest totals in each respective category for the sophomore signal-caller through 12 starts this year. The Oregon product hasn't taken a step forward from his promising rookie totals in 2024, but he has maintained steady fantasy value with modest passing numbers to go along with 20 combined touchdowns to 10 turnovers. Nix will attempt to clean up the two interceptions he threw against the Raiders back in Week 10 when these two AFC West rivals face off again next Sunday.
