Team news: Denver Broncos

“The chances of [Jerry Jeudy] playing are less than 50%” in Cleveland, Fangio says.

Jeudy will do some full-speed work this week in his return from high ankle sprain, but doesn't seem likely to play in Week 7. Sutton will continue to lead the way at WR with Patrick the team's WR2.

Jeudy’s designation allows him to return within the next 21 days with Week 7 or 8 looking like the most likely return date. John Brown will look to fill in the role of K.J. Hamler who was lost for the season.

Neither of these news items hold too much fantasy impact in the near term but owners should prepare for the return of Jeudy who was working as the Bronco’s WR1 before his injury.

Gordon continues to perform as an RB3 for fantasy players and will do the same if he plays alongside Williams again Week 6.

Broncos are signing veteran receiver John Brown to the practice squad, per source.

Denver is adding speed to the outside and he's a viable option for the active roster, the tweet went on to say. Given how banged up the Broncos are at WR, Brown has a shot to catch on and could be worth an add in deeper leagues.

Jerry Jeudy’s recovery is going “good,” per Vic Fangio.

Fangio added, "The last 10 days to two weeks, he’s made good progress. His return is not right around the corner, but it’s getting closer.” Sutton busted out a bit this week with a 7-120-1 line at Pittsburgh. Patrick added a 7-89-0 line. Hinton caught a couple of balls for 25 yards and a TD.

The Broncos will need Gordon with injuries plaguing the other offensive skill positions. Make sure you have another option if Gordon is in consideration for you.

Broncos WR Courtland Sutton (ankle) is questionable for Week 5 according to Ari Meirov of Pro Football Focus.

Not great news on a Friday! Tim Patrick would be Denver's top wideout should Sutton miss Week 5.

Broncos QB Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) is questionable for Week 5 at Pittsburgh. Bridgewater is out of concussion protocol and has practiced each of the last two days.

Good news for Bridgewater, bad news for Lock streamers. Unless Bridgewater has a setback expect him to start.

Broncos HC Vic Fangio told reporters Friday that TE Albert Okwuegbunam (hamstring) will not play Week 5 at Pittsburgh.

Albert O has been critical for two-TE sets in Denver and his loss to the offense matters.
