Tom Compton - Activated Tuesday, slated to start The Broncos activated Compton (back) from the PUP list Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
Impact With Billy Turner placed on injured reserve Tuesday as a result of a knee injury he suffered during Denver's loss to the Titans on Sunday, Compton is now in line to start at right tackle for at least the next four games barring any setbacks or new injuries. The 33-year-old missed each of the Broncos' first nine games this season due to an offseason back procedure.

Brandon McManus - Makes one field goal McManus connected on his only field-goal attempt while also making his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Titans.
Impact McManus converted his lone field-goal attempt from 39 yards Sunday. Denver continued to struggle offensively, limiting opportunities in scoring range. The Broncos' inability to move the ball consistently is a cause for concern for fantasy managers relying on McManus' production. With a favorable matchup against the Raiders in Week 11, the veteran kicker could see plenty of opportunities to produce for fantasy purposes.

Greg Dulcich - Catches one pass in loss Dulcich caught one of four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Titans.
Impact After a solid if belated start to his rookie campaign, Dulcich's one-catch performance was a major disappointment for fantasy managers. The 6-foot-4, 245-pound tight end was unable to get anything going as Denver's offensive struggles continued in Week 10. Despite this underwhelming performance, Dulcich played 89 percent of the offensive snaps, and Russell Wilson continues to look his way. With Jerry Jeudy nursing an ankle injury, it's possible that Dulcich could be relied upon even more if the wideout is forced to miss a favorable matchup in Week 11 when the Broncos host the Raiders.
NOVEMBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Virgil - Finds end zone in loss Virgil secured his only target for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Titans.
Impact Virgil's first career touchdown was the result of a busted coverage in the Titans' secondary, as Russell Wilson connected with the wide open rookie for the Broncos' only touchdown of the contest. In his first game, the 24-year-old played 30 percent of Denver's offensive snaps, a number that was likely elevated based on fellow wideout Jerry Jeudy exiting the game with an ankle injury in the first quarter. Though the long score helped Virgil finish with a respectable fantasy performance on just one target, expecting him to replicate that output with limited opportunities in a struggling offense is a risky proposition. Even if Jeudy misses time, Virgil would likely be the fourth option at receiver at best behind Courtland Sutton, Kendall Hinton and Tyrie Cleveland. It's also possible that KJ Hamler could make a return from a hamstring injury that kept him sidelined in Week 10, further complicating matters for the rookie. Virgil should remain off the fantasy radar when the Broncos host the Raiders in Week 11.
NOVEMBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Chase Edmonds - Minimal involvement in loss Edmonds rushed two times for nine yards and caught one of two targets for zero yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Titans.
Impact In his debut with the Broncos, Edmonds played just 15 of Denver's 80 offensive snaps. The veteran played behind both Melvin Gordon and Latavius Murray, as all three backs struggled to get much going on the ground. Any hope of the offense improving after the team's bye week was quickly diminished, as the team's only touchdown was on a busted coverage allowing Russell Wilson to connect with wide receiver Jalen Virgil. The Broncos' continued offensive woes paired with what is likely to be a three-man committee at running back will likely put a cap on Edmonds' fantasy potential. However, it would make sense to see his involvement increase as the season progresses. The 26-year-old will look to take a step forward when the Broncos host the Raiders in Week 11, though he will be difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.

Alex Singleton - Notches eight tackles in loss Singleton tallied eight tackles (five solo) in Sunday's game against Tennessee.
Impact Singleton was only on the field for 53 percent of his team's defensive snaps, but he made the most of his opportunities. He's racked up 70 tackles (44 solo) and three passes defensed over his first nine games of the 2022 season, as he remains on pace for his third 100-plus tackle season over the last four years.
NOVEMBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Josey Jewell - Notches nine more tackles Jewell finished with nine tackles (six solo) during Sunday's game against the Titans.
Impact Jewell has recorded nine tackles in each of his last two contests, and he finally appears to be at full strength after missing four of his squad's first seven matchups. It's also worth noting that he's played in every defensive snap over the last two games (125 snaps).

Billy Turner - Going to miss time Turner (knee) is considered week-to-week, according to head coach Nathanial Hackett, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Turner exited Sunday's loss to the Titans early with the injury and was unable to return. With Cameron Fleming (quadriceps) also dealing with the injury, the Broncos are currently hurting at offensive tackle. If neither are able to play Sunday against the Raiders, Quinn Bailey could be looking at a start at right tackle.

K'Waun Williams - Undergoing knee procedure Williams will have arthroscopic knee surgery this week, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Impact Williams will miss at least four weeks due to the procedure, which is suppose to clean up his knee and stop it from locking up. While he is out, Essang Bassey is expected to step into Williams' role.

Jerry Jeudy - Injury viewed as mild An MRI on Jeudy's ankle revealed a mild injury Monday, and he isn't expected to miss extended time, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Jeudy's status for Sunday's game against the Raiders has yet to be determined, so his practice participation will be worth monitoring throughout the week. Given initial fears of a major injury after the wide receiver exited in the first quarter of Denver's Week 10 loss to the Titans, this is just about the best-case scenario for Jeudy.

Jerry Jeudy - Getting MRI on Monday Jeudy (ankle) is receiving an MRI to determine the severity of his injury Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Jeudy was forced out of Sunday's loss to the Titans due to an ankle injury, one which prevented him from putting any pressure on his left leg. Initial assessments lead the Broncos to believe that Jeudy suffered a muscle strain, but the team won't be able to provide an official update until after receiving the results of Monday's MRI. With KJ Hamler (hamstring) having been sidelined Week 10, Kendall Hinton could have to step up as the No. 2 man behind Courtland Sutton if Jeudy is forced to miss time.
NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kendall Hinton - Steps into increased role Hinton recorded four receptions on five targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to Tennessee.
Impact Denver entered the game without KJ Hamler (hamstring), and Jerry Jeudy (ankle) was injured on the first play from scrimmage. That opened the door for Hinton to serve a significant role in the offense, and he took advantage by tallying long receptions of 35 and 17 yards. Hinton's role moving forward will be heavily dependent on the health of Jeudy and Hamler, though he showed the ability to capitalize when provided an opportunity Sunday.

NFL Week 10 top plays: 49ers edge Chargers; Packers top Cowboys
Week 10 of the NFL season delivered some unforgettable moments across the U.S. and Germany. Here were Sunday's top plays!NOVEMBER 14, 2022
Latavius Murray - Leads Denver in carries Murray rushed the ball nine times for 24 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to Tennessee. He added three receptions on three targets for 23 yards.
Impact Murray paced the Denver backfield with nine carries despite Melvin Gordon drawing the start and working the first few offensive possessions. Neither back was particularly efficient on the ground, though Gordon managed a superior performance as a pass catcher. While both Gordon and Murray split the work fairly evenly out of Denver's backfield, it's unclear whether the team may plan to mix Chase Edmonds in more regularly as he grows more familiar with the offense.
NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Melvin Gordon III - Manages 70 total yards Gordon rushed the ball seven times for 24 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Titans. He added four receptions on six targets for 46 yards.
Impact Gordon started the game and played the first couple offensive possessions, but he ultimately was out-carried by Latavius Murray 9-7. However, Gordon was superior in his work as a receiver, as he finished second on the team in targets and topped 40 receiving yards in a game for the second time this season. While Gordon has maintained a fairly even split in the work out of the backfield, it remains to be seen if Chase Edmonds will force a further split as he becomes more familiar with the Denver offense.
