Today’s QB update: Jarrett Stidham was once again the most steady QB. Along with good decision making, Stidham also had two completions for 15 yards.

Nix once again displayed his speed on the ground, but struggled to find much beyond five yards down the field, the post went on to say. Other Bronco beat writers seem to be right in step with this saying Stidham was the most productive followed by Nix and Wilson. It's possible Stidham could be a bridge starter at QB until Nix is more polished.

Troy Frankin's been coached pretty vocally and pretty hard out there.

You see flashes here and there, but I don't think he's likely to be starting, let alone a big part of the plan this year.

Sutton, Mims and Reynolds are probably the starters with Patrick first man off the bench, Albright went on to say in his post. Franklin has been a popular later-round target in dynasty formats but it doesn't appear he's going to have re-draft value just yet.

Greg Dulcich is back on the field at the outset of training camp and has wasted little time reminding observers why he can be an impact player if he’s on the field. If he can just, at long last, stay healthy.

Like in a Saturday red zone drill, where he hauled in a touchdown in the back corner of the end zone on a pretty throw from Bo Nix.

“Each day you’re seeing a glimpse and you are seeing plays,” head coach Sean Payton said. “Most importantly for the player, you’re seeing his confidence. … That’s really player growth. You can’t wish for that. It can’t be false confidence. It’s generally earned and it’s from accomplishing something. I think we’re seeing that with Greg.”

Dulcich has been missing for the Broncos quite often over the last two seasons. It seems like a long time ago he was the talk of dynasty leagues for his potential at the position. He only played in two games last season and didn't make it through either game. Dulcich has mostly been plagued by hamstring and foot injuries. He can certainly be had later in drafts if you want to take a chance on him as he's just 42nd on our list.

The Broncos signed WR Courtland Sutton to a restructured contract that can pay him up to $15.2 million this season, including $1.5M in new incentives.

Sutton reported to training camp on time, and Denver sweetened the deal for one of its team leaders.

After a year-plus of trade rumors, the Broncos have locked in their WR1. Sutton is the clear clubhouse leader to top the team in targets, but everyone behind him is still a question mark, including Franklin, who played with QB Bo Nix in Oregon.

Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton said Tuesday the team's three quarterbacks, including rookie Bo Nix, will open training camp getting equal time with the starting offense but offered no guarantee how long that rotation would last.

Nix, Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson split the work with the starting offense during the offseason program and will split the work initially when the team begins its training camp practices Wednesday.

Payton made it clear if one of the quarterbacks earns more work with the starters early on, he will get more. Nix, of course, is the rookie selection from this past spring and reports say he had a good spring. The story added Payton had lauded Nix's maturity, decision-making, accuracy and composure throughout the Broncos' offseason program.

I see Gus Edwards as the clear lead back. The secondary touches are open for competition, though if J.K. Dobbins is healthy, I think he wins that job. Edwards was nursing an injury in the spring, but according to Harbaugh, he should be ready for camp.

"If he's healthy" is what we've been saying throughout the entirety of Dobbins' career. He has sadly had multiple major lower-body injuries, and the Chargers signed him to a very minimal contract. Vidal remains an interesting late-round fantasy addition for an L.A. team we are expecting to run the ball a ton.

Reigning Offensive Player of the Year Christian McCaffrey once again has reset the RB market, signing a two-year extension with the 49ers, averaging $19 million per year.

McCaffrey will receive an additional $8 million over what he was scheduled to make in the first two years while adding $24 million in guarantees.

McCaffrey solidifies himself on one of the best offenses in the league, and should still be viewed as the best RB option in fantasy football.

Miami Dolphins and WR Jaylen Waddle reached agreement today on a three-year, $84.75 million contract extension that includes $76 million guaranteed, per sources. The deal makes Waddle one of the league’s top five highest-paid receivers.

Related Players: Tyreek Hill, Odell Beckham

Waddle is now tied to Miami through the 2028 season, which locks him in with Mike McDaniel for years to come. Waddle recorded his third-straight 1,000-yard season last year, and is primed to do it again as a fantasy WR2.

Tight end Greg Dulcich, who dealt with hamstring injuries throughout the 2023 season, worked out on the side, but Payton noted the third-year player is “close” to full participation and won’t have to be held out of training camp.

Related Players: Adam Trautman, Lucas Krull, Nate Adkins

With Dulcich missing almost the entirety of last year, there was basically no tight end usage in the passing game, with Trautman leading the room with 22 catches. Dulcich shouldn't be considered in typical redraft leagues but makes for a good stash in Dynasty.

The Dolphins have agreed to terms with WR Odell Beckham, Jr.

It's a 1-year, $3M deal with incentives that can push it up to $8.25M

Related Players: Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, River Cracraft, Braxton Berrios

Beckham should work as a rotational third wide receiver behind Hill and Waddle and figures to have some high-output weeks from time to time. He figures to be a headache in typical redraft leagues but will be an interesting addition in best ball leagues.
