Team news: Denver Broncos | Page 3

Broncos are signing two-time Pro-Bowl TE Evan Engram to a two-year deal. Denver has been seeking TE help in recent seasons and now finally has found some.

Much like in his college years, Bo Nix checked the ball down at a massive rate, which just so happens to be where Engram makes most of his noise. Though he's never been a huge run-after-catch option, Engram could find himself with enough volume to flirt with another 10-top fantasy season.

The Dolphins have agreed to terms with WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine on a two-year, $6.5 million deal with $3.2 million guaranteed.

Coming off a career-high nine receiving TDs last season, NWI is on his way to Miami.

Westbrook-Ikhine has popped from time to time over the last couple of seasons, but he did so on a Titans team severely lacking in wide receiver depth. Even if he were to lock down a WR3 role in Miami, the target share is thin behind Hill and Waddle.

It's hard to think of a better landing spot, as Harris will add a little more oomph to Gus Edwards' three-yards-and-dust role. Dobbins is likely going to come back on a more player-friendly deal than he got in '24, but that shouldn't make too much of an impact on Harris as an early-down grinder. Consider the new Charger a volume-based RB3 at the moment.

Dolphins WRs Tyreek Hill (wrist) and Jaylen Waddle (knee) are both questionable for Sunday vs. Cleveland.

Waddle feels like the more likely candidate to miss, but it's been reported that Tyreek has been playing through ailments through most of the season. Consider Hill a WR2 if he suits up.

The Chargers are activating RB J.K. Dobbins from IR and he’ll make his return Saturday against the Patriots.

One of the NFL’s most efficient backs, Dobbins is averaging 4.8 yards per carry this season. A big boost for L.A.’s stretch run.

With Gus Edwards already ruled out of this game, we would expect Dobbins to return to a pretty sizable workload. Consider him a low-end RB2 against the Patriots.

QUESTIONABLE — J.K. Dobbins, Will Dissly, Hayden Hurst, Elijah Molden

OUT — Gus Edwards, Trey Pipkins III, Denzel Perryman

Related Players: Kimani Vidal, Hassan Haskins

Vidal has seen minimal playing time in his rookie season, but the Chargers might not have a choice but to give him the rock in Week 17. If Dobbins misses, consider Vidal an RB3.

Gus Edwards is listed as a limited participant due to an ankle injury. Edwards ran 14 times for 68 yards and two touchdowns in last Sunday’s win over the Broncos.

J.K. Dobbins (knee) was also limited in his first appearance on the injury report since being designated for return from injured reserve.

The story said if Dobbins is going to play against the Patriots, the Chargers will have to activate him by Friday. It could be a tricky situation depending on each back's status. Owners will want to pay close attention to this situation leading up to game time.

Chargers will be opening J.K. Dobbins' 21-day window today, Jim Harbaugh tells reporters.

Dobbins has been on IR for the past four games with a knee injury. He's not a lock to play this week and he's not a lock for a safe workload even if he does play. The Chargers travel to New England in Week 17, so the matchup isn't a bad one. It's an early window game on Sunday, so owners should have plenty of notice. We'll also keep an eye on the practice reports this week.

McDaniel non-committal on whether Jaylen Waddle (knee) will practice this week: "I'm expecting to get everything from Waddle that he can do... I've [talked to] the trainer to make sure we protect him from himself. We will see how the week progresses. I don't know exactly what it will look like."

Waddle owners should probably not count on Waddle for Week 17, or at the very least have a backup plan. Waddle and the Dolphins play the Browns in the later window on Sunday so it could further complicate things for owners who were hoping to play him.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (wrist/personal) was limited in practice today and is now questionable for Sunday vs. San Francisco.

WR Jaylen Waddle (knee) didn't practice all week and is doubtful.

Related Players: Jonnu Smith, Malik Washington, River Cracraft

We're assuming Hill will be fine by kickoff, but it's definitely a situation worth keeping an eye on. He's currently projected as a WR2, with Jonnu Smith possibly absorbing even more work with Waddle unlikely to see the field.
