Team news: Denver Broncos | Page 8

The Jets are trading QB Zach Wilson to the Denver Broncos. The deal: Wilson and a 7th to Denver for a 6th.

Related Players: Jarrett Stidham

It's hard to picture this prohibiting the team from taking a QB in the NFL Draft but it certainly insulates them a little bit if they end up unable to move up where they want. Wilson's dynasty SuperFlex value will at least improve in the short term.

Former Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins is planning to sign with the #Chargers on a one-year deal. Electric when healthy, Dobbins — who averages 5.8 yards per carry in his career — reunites with OC Greg Roman and can hit the market again in March.

Dobbins has had poor injury luck in his career, but has only managed 234 total rushes since being drafted in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. This is a low-risk, high-reward move by the Chargers and might give them a runway to wait a little longer in the '24 Draft before they address the position.

The Jaguars officially have signed former Packers TE Josiah Deguara.

Related Players: Evan Engram, Luke Farrell

With the Packers drafting both Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft last season, Deguara ended up becoming expendable. Deguara earned 33 targets back in 2021 but hasn't matched that usage in the two seasons since. He will provide depth behind Evan Engram.

Wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey is returning to the Broncos on a one-year deal.

Related Players: Tim Patrick, Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims

Humphrey was sneakily second on the team in slot snaps (154) last season, behind Jerry Jeudy (291), who is now in Cleveland. Marvin Mims figures to take at least some of those snaps, assuming the team cuts back on his "go" routes and actively incorporates him into the offense. Humphrey can be passed over in fantasy drafts.

Gabe Davis agreed with the Jaguars to a 3 year deal for $39 million with incentives that could get him to $50 million.

Davis gives Trevor Lawrence a field-stretcher to compliment his underneath receivers. Davis himself will be a very inconsistent fantasy option, but Lawrence has plenty of touch to produce big plays for his new weapon from time to time.

The Dolphins have officially ruled out WR Jaylen Waddle against the Ravens with his high-ankle sprain.

Related Players: Tyreek Hill, Cedrick Wilson, Durham Smythe

With Waddle only logging 17 routes in Week 16, the target share for Tyreek Hill predictably increased, as he turned 14 targets into a 9-99 stat line. Tight end Durham Smythe also saw five targets for the first time since Week 1. Even in a tough matchup against the Ravens, Tyreek is a locked-in top-five option.

No practice today for Jaylen Waddle (ankle) & Raheem Mostert (should be good to go). Tyreek Hill, Austin Jackson did limited practice.

Tua throws looked good after landing on report w/ left thumb.

Robert Hunt, De’Von Achane did team stretch, separate rehab work during practice.

With Waddle only logging 17 routes in Week 16, the target share for Tyreek Hill predictably increased, as he turned 14 targets into a 9-99 stat line. Tight end Durham Smythe also saw five targets for the first time since Week 1. In a tough matchup against the Ravens, Waddle should be considered a lower-end WR2 if he were to go, with Tyreek a locked-in top-five option regardless.

Miami Dolphins Wednesday practice, Ravens

Not spotted: Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Raheem Mostert, De’Von Achane, Terron Armstead, Robert Hunt

Related Players: Raheem Mostert, Jeff Wilson

Missing a Wednesday practice isn't a big deal for a vet, but for a rookie that's been dealing with a toe issue, it's a different story. Achane has been limited in his last two games, garnering 22 opportunities (carries + targets) for only 93 combined yards and 11.3 half-PPR fantasy points. Against a stout Ravens run-defense, it could be difficult to trust him as more than a FLEX play, though his explosiveness can turn any touch into a huge play, so it may be all about risk tolerance in Week 17.

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel said Jaylen Waddle’s high ankle sprain is not overly severe and he hasn’t been ruled out for Sunday vs. Ravens yet.

The Broncos are strongly considering having QB Russell Wilson sit for the final two games, preserving financial flexibility for the offseason.

Wilson has $37M in 2025 salary that vests in March of 2024, and if he suffered a serious injury, it would complicate matters.

Related Players: Jarrett Stidham

Well this is quite the bombshell. The Broncos have a very good fantasy matchup coming up this weekend, as Wilson was in-line for a face-off against a pedestrian Chargers defense. Stidham offers a decent top-18 option, if he were to get the nod. We'll keep an eye on this story for the rest of the week.
