INJURIES

Lil'Jordan Humphrey - One grab against Chargers Humphrey secured his lone target for eight yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Chargers.
Impact Humphrey was minimally involved in Sunday's loss to the Chargers, playing 35 percent of offensive snaps after playing 64 percent of snaps in Week 5. The wideout's decreased playing time made way for fellow receivers Troy Franklin and Devaughn Vele to see a larger workload in the contest. In a passing attack that has been inconsistent so far in 2024, Humphrey should not be trusted for consistent production. The 26-year-old veteran will look to bounce back when the Broncos visit the Saints in Week 7.

Jaleel McLaughlin - Five touches in loss McLaughlin rushed three times for eight yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Chargers. He added two receptions on two targets for 17 yards.
Impact McLaughlin continued to operate as Denver's No. 2 running back in the contest, playing 14 of the Broncos' 55 offensive snaps. Meanwhile, starter Javonte Williams played a healthy 37 snaps but saw just three more carries than McLaughlin. The Denver backfield has failed to become a strong unit so far in 2024, as play has been inconsistent and unimpressive through five games. With rookie Audric Estime rejoining the team after a four-week stint on injured reserve, the running back situation could become more muddied as the coaching staff tries to get the ground game going. The 24-year-old McLaughlin remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes with his limited role in Denver's offense. The Broncos will visit the Saints in Week 7.

Audric Estime - Limited action in return Estime rushed twice for 13 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Chargers.
Impact Estime made his return to the field Sunday after being activated from injured reserve for the ankle injury he suffered in Week 1, however, the rookie running back played just two of the Broncos' 55 offensive snaps in the contest. It's likely Denver's coaching staff wants to ease Estime back into a more substantial workload, but he'll still face an uphill battle for playing time behind both Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin moving forward. The 21-year-old Notre Dame product could challenge for an expanded role in a backfield that has failed to impress consistently thus far. Estime will look to be more involved when the Broncos visit the Saints in Week 7.

Saints vs. Broncos Injury Report – Week 7, 2024

See who's in and who's out for the Week 7 matchup between the Denver Broncos and New Orleans Saints on October 17, 2024.

Saints vs. Broncos Injury Report – Week 7, 2024
Justin Strnad - Notches sack in defeat Strnad registered seven tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's Week 6 loss to the Chargers.
Impact Strnad's fourth-quarter sack came on third down, resulting in a Chargers punt. It was the linebacker's second sack over the past three weeks after coming into the campaign with no sacks over 50 career regular-season games. Strnad didn't have much of a chance to get to the quarterback prior to 2024, though, as he played exclusively on special teams in both 2022 and 2023.
OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Jones - Tallies 12 stops in Week 6 loss Jones registered 12 tackles (11 solo) and a defensed pass Sunday in a loss to the Chargers.
Impact Jones led Denver in stops with a season-high total. The safety has established a pretty safe IDP floor with at least five tackles in all six of his contests so far this year. With 44 stops on the campaign, Jones is already more than halfway to his career-best tally of 79 tackles set in 2021 with Miami.

Alex Palczewski - Estimated as limited Palczewski (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation.
Impact Palczewski's limited estimation Monday is a positive sign after the 25-year-old didn't practice at all last week before missing the Broncos' Week 6 loss to the Chargers. His participation Tuesday and Wednesday will provide a better indication of his potential availability in Week 7, when the Broncos travel to New Orleans.

Riley Moss - Dealing with hip issue Moss (hip) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation.
Impact The Iowa product totaled 84 snaps (74 defensive and 10 on special teams) and recorded six total tackles and one pass defended in the Broncos' Week 6 loss to the Chargers, but it appears he picked up a hip injury in the process. Moss' participation Tuesday and Wednesday will be the best indication of his potential availability in Week 7, when the Broncos travel to New Orleans.
OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE
Ja'Quan McMillian - Estimated as limited McMillian (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation.
Impact McMillian played 76 total snaps (73 defensive and three on special teams) and recorded two total tackles in Sunday's loss to the Chargers, but it now appears he picked up an ankle injury in the process. The Eastern Carolina product's participation Tuesday and Wednesday will provide the best indication of his potential availability for Thursday night's matchup against the Saints.
OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE
Damarri Mathis - Full estimation Monday Mathis (ankle) was listed as a full participant on Monday's practice estimation.
Impact Mathis has yet to see the field this season after sustaining an ankle injury in late August. However, the third-year cornerback was designated to return from injured reserve on Oct. 9, and Monday's full practice estimation suggests he's nearing a return to the field. Mathis could very well be activated to Denver's active roster in time for Thursday's matchup against the Saints, as the Broncos will likely be without star corner Patrick Surtain (concussion).
OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE
Pat Surtain II - Estimated as DNP Surtain (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation.
Impact Surtain sustained a concussion in the Broncos' Week 6 loss to the Chargers, so it's no surprise he was estimated as a non-participant Monday. The Alabama product must still clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to suit up for Denver's Week 7 matchup against the Saints on Thursday night.

Josh Reynolds - Dealing with fractured finger Coach Sean Payton revealed Monday that Reynolds has a fractured finger, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports.
Impact Reynolds is on injured reserve until at least Nov. 10 after undergoing surgery on his finger, and Monday's comments clarify the nature of his injury. Rookie Troy Franklin and Devaughn Vele have stepped up in complementary roles alongside Courtland Sutton in Reynolds' absence.

NFL Week 6 highlights: Bengals outlast Giants, Drake Maye shows promise in Pats' loss
Devaughn Vele - Re-emerges as leading receiver Vele caught four of six targets for 78 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Chargers.
Impact Vele had been held out of the lineup since his pro debut back in Week 1 (8-39-0) despite maintaining good health for the majority of the time between his two appearances this season. Despite coaching decisions not in his favor, the rookie seventh-rounder wound up tying No. 1 wideout Courtland Sutton for the team lead in targets and receptions Sunday. Vele's inconsistent playing time limits him from becoming a hot waiver add this week, but deep-league managers might still want to take a look at the rookie if he is active for Thursday's tilt against New Orleans in Week 7.

Coaching decisions aside, the rookie seventh-rounder wound up tying No. 1 wideout Courtland Sutton for the team lead in targets and receptions Sunday.

Javonte Williams - Rough day on nine touches Williams rushed six times for 23 yards while losing one fumble and caught three of six targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 23-16 defeat to the Chargers.
Impact Williams not only struggled to produce from a fantasy standpoint, he also coughed up Denver's only fumble in a one-score loss. The 24-year-old has been underwhelming as the Broncos' starter through six games this season, averaging 3.6 yards per carry with no trips to the end zone. Williams doesn't inspire confidence as a fantasy play heading into Thursday's matchup against a stingy Saints defense.
