DENVER BRONCOS NEWS

Mike Boone - May start to practice this week Coach Vic Fangio said Monday that Boone (quadriceps) may start to practice this week, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact Boone was carried onto Denver's initial 53-man roster after being placed on IR, so he is eligible to return this week. If healthy, the 26-year-old running back will likely overtake Damarea Crockett, who has been promoted to the active roster ahead of each game this season, as the Broncos' third back behind Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon.

Broncos WR KJ Hamler out for the season with torn ACL Hamler left Sunday's 26-0 win against the New York Jets in the second quarter.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • THEATHLETIC.COM

K.J. Hamler - Suffers torn ACL Hamler (knee) suffered a torn ACL in Sunday's win over the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Hamler was unable to put much weight on his leg as he left Sunday's Week 3 matchup, and he'll miss the remainder of the season after an MRI revealed a torn ACL. The 22-year-old hauled in five of 10 targets for 74 yards across the first three weeks of the season. It's not yet clear whether he'll be ready for the start of camp in 2022, but Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick will continue to serve as the Broncos' top receivers while Jerry Jeudy (ankle) remains sidelined.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • NORTHJERSEY.COM

Brandon McManus - Continues perfect streak McManus connected on all four of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point attempts in Sunday's 26-0 win over the Jets.

Impact McManus made field-goals from 21, 36, 45 and 47 yards in the blowout win. The 30-year-old kicker has yet to miss a field-goal attempt in the 2021 campaign. McManus will look to stay perfect in Week 4 as the Broncos host the visiting Ravens.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Albert Okwuegbunam - Catches one pass in win Okwuegbunam caught his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 26-0 win over the Jets.

Impact Okwuegbunam was essentially a nonfactor in the Broncos' blowout win over Jets. Week 3 marks the first time the second-year tight end did not record multiple targets and receptions. With injuries to key pass-catchers Jerry Jeudy and KJ Hamler, it is plausible that Okwuegbunam may see a modest increase in his passing-game usage while they miss time. Nonetheless, the 23-year-old remains largely off the fantasy radar ahead of a Week 4 matchup against the Ravens.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Noah Fant - Quiet in win Fant secured two receptions on three targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 26-0 win over the Jets.

Impact Fant was not a big part of the game plan in Week 3 as the Broncos cruised to victory over the hapless Jets. His three targets were tied for third most on a day when quarterback Teddy Bridgewater threw 25 passes. With wide receiver KJ Hamler going down with a knee injury Sunday, it is likely that the veteran tight end could see a bump in his usage going forward if Hamler is forced to miss time. The Broncos are already without Jerry Jeudy, so Denver's pass-catching group is getting thinner. The 6-foot-4, 249-pounder's athleticism will likely be relied on to help the offense move the chains going forward, and Fant will get a shot to bounce back when the Broncos host the Ravens in Week 4.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Tim Patrick - Works as deep threat Patrick recorded five receptions on five targets for 98 yards in Sunday's Week 3 win over the Jets.

Impact Patrick flipped roles with Courtland Sutton, with Patrick serving as the primary deep threat in Week 3. He connected with Teddy Bridgewater for gains of 31, 27 and 24 yards, which accounted for the majority of his production. Patrick was held back from more significant volume by game script as Bridgewater attempted only 25 passes throughout the contest. The Broncos may be forced to the air more in a Week 4 matchup against Tennessee, and Patrick should carry a significant role in the offense so long as Jerry Jeudy (ankle) is sidelined.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Courtland Sutton - Limited in blowout win Sutton recorded five receptions on five targets for 37 yards in Sunday's Week 3 win over the Jets.

Impact Sutton couldn't follow up his impressive Week 2 performance, though that was largely because of game script. Teddy Bridgewater attempted only 25 passes as the Broncos led comfortably for much of the game. Sutton did the majority of his work in short areas of the field, as his longest catch of the day went for 14 yards and served as his only reception that went for 10 or more yards. Despite the down performance, Sutton continues to play a major role in the offense, and he could see more opportunity in a Week 4 matchup against Baltimore.
