Lil'Jordan Humphrey - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Finishes second season in Denver Humphrey ended the 2024 regular season with 31 receptions on 45 targets for 293 yards and a touchdown

Impact Humphrey recorded career highs in catches, targets and yards during the 2024 campaign while appearing in all 17 games for the second straight season. With that said, the veteran wideout was not a major part of the Broncos' offensive plans this season, operating in a depth role behind Courtland Sutton, Devaughn Vele, Marvin Mims and Troy Franklin. Humphrey will head into the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, but its possible his long-standing connection with head coach Sean Payton could help him to get another contract offer from the Broncos if he doesn't land with a new team in 2025.

Modest production in win Humphrey caught two of three targets for four yards in Sunday's 29-19 win over the Raiders.

Impact After scoring his first touchdown and recording a season-high 52 yards in Week 11, Humphrey came crashing back down to Earth against the Raiders in Week 12. The veteran played 38 of the Broncos' 68 offensive snaps Sunday, behind fellow wide receivers Courtland Sutton (58) and Devaughn Vele (44). Humphrey's inconsistent nature make him an unreliable option for fantasy purposes. The 26-year-old will look to bounce back in a Week 13 matchup against the Browns on Monday Night Football.

Hits pay dirt in win Humphrey caught all four of his targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-6 win over the Falcons.

Impact Humphrey's trip to the end zone was his first of the season, while his 52 receiving yards accounted for his highest total of the 2024 campaign. The veteran wideout's playing time, however, dipped in Week 11, earning a 44 percent offensive snap share after playing 59 percent of snaps in Week 10. Though Denver's offense is seemingly finding its way as the season progresses, Humphrey remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes based on his inconsistent usage. Nonetheless, the 26-year-old will look to build upon this performance when the Broncos visit the Raiders in Week 12.

NOVEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Two grabs in Week 10 Humphrey secured two of three targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Chiefs.

Impact Humphrey played a solid 59 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps Sunday, but Denver's No. 3 receiver was unable to get much going against Kansas City. The 26-year-old has failed to record more at least 50 receiving yards in all but one game so far this season, making him an extremely unreliable option for fantasy purposes. Humphrey should remain off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Falcons.

NOVEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Minimal production in loss Humphrey caught two of five targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Ravens.

Impact Humphrey played 35 of the Broncos' 72 offensive snaps Sunday, finishing second in wide receiver snaps behind Courtland Sutton (61). Additionally, the veteran wideout also earned the second-most targets behind Sutton while operating as the team's No. 2 receiver. Humphrey is having an underwhelming 2024 campaign, recording just 21 receptions for 188 yards through nine games. The 26-year-old should not be trusted for fantasy purposes as the Broncos visit the Chiefs in Week 10.

NOVEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Targeted six times against Panthers Humphrey secured four of six targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 28-14 win over the Panthers.

Impact Humphrey played the second-most offensive snaps (44) at wide receiver Sunday, behind Courtland Sutton (61) and ahead of Troy Franklin (27), Devaughn Vele (25) and Marvin Mims (21). Operating as the Broncos' No. 2 wideout, the 26-year-old Humphrey was unable to make much noise for fantasy purposes, continuing his underwhelming season. The veteran has failed to find the end zone through eight weeks and remains extremely difficult to trust despite his increased playing time in recent weeks. Humphrey and the Broncos will visit the Ravens in Week 9.

Targeted six times against Panthers Humphrey secured four of six targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 28-14 win over the Panthers.

OCTOBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited production in Week 7 Humphrey caught two of three targets for 12 yards in Thursday's 33-10 win over the Saints.

Impact Humphrey finished the contest tied for the second-most offensive snaps (33) among wide receivers with Troy Franklin, yet he was unable to get much going from a fantasy perspective. Quarterback Bo Nix completed just 16 passes for 164 yards against the Saints, and as the rookie continues to find his footing, its reasonable to expect Denver's pass catchers to put up inconsistent performances. Nonetheless, Humphrey and the Broncos head into a Week 8 matchup against a vulnerable Panthers defense, which could lead to more opportunities for Denver's skill-position players.

OCTOBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

OCTOBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Two grabs in Week 5 Humphrey secured both of his targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 34-18 win over the Raiders.

Impact After failing to record a catch in Week 4, Humphrey improved upon his disappointing outing with a two-catch game against the Raiders in Week 5. Rookie quarterback Bo Nix and Denver's passing attack took a step forward Sunday, as the signal caller was able to spread the ball around to 11 different pass catchers in the contest. The 26-year-old Humphrey played the second-most snaps at wide receiver for the Broncos, seeing the field for 40 of Denver's 63 offensive snaps. As Denver continues to find its way on offense, its possible the veteran could parlay his consistent playing time into improved production for fantasy purposes. Humphrey and the Broncos will host the Chargers in Week 6.

OCTOBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Non-factor in Week 4 Humphrey failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 10-9 win over the Jets.

Impact After recording catching eight of 13 targets for 87 yards over the previous two contests, Humphrey saw a major dip in his utilization Sunday. The veteran wideout played 42 of the Broncos' 61 offensive snaps Sunday, behind only Courtland Sutton (48) in the receiving corps. The entire Broncos aerial attack was grounded Sunday with rookie quarterback Bo Nix mustering just 60 passing yards against a stingy Jets defense. Though it appears Humphrey was been building chemistry with Nix, the inconsistency of Denver's offense will make the 26-year-old wideout difficult to trust for fantasy purposes most weeks. The Broncos will host the Raiders in Week 5.

OCTOBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Stays busy in Week 3 win Humphrey brought in six of eight targets for 37 yards in the Broncos' 26-7 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Impact Humphrey finished right behind Courtland Sutton for the team lead in receptions while also qualifying as a distant second to his teammate in receiving yards and as the runner-up in targets. Humphrey, who is well versed in head coach Sean Payton's offense from their time together in New Orleans, has quickly built chemistry with rookie quarterback Bo Nix, as the sixth-year pro now sports a 10-87 line on 13 targets over the last two games heading into a Week 4 road matchup against the Jets.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Signs with Denver Humphrey signed a contract with the Broncos on Saturday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Humphrey was out of practice-squad elevations, so this move isn't entirely surprising. The long-time Bronco put together a solid performance in Week 2 tallying 50 receiving yards despite a dismal display overall by the offense. It's unlikely those same opportunities will be available in Week 3 as Devaughn Vele is cleared to play after missing the previous week due to a ribs injury.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Goes back to practice squad Humphrey reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Like he was before the Broncos' season-opening loss at Seattle, Humphrey was elevated prior to the team's Week 2 game, but he played a far bigger role. His snap share increased from 30 to 77 percent, and he hauled in four of five targets for 50 yards as a result. The increased workload for Humphrey may have been spurred by the absence of rookie WR Devaughn Vele (ribs), but in any case the former seems poised to be a regular in three-wide sets along with Courtland Sutton and Josh Reynolds for as long as Vele is sidelined.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Moves back to active roster Humphrey was elevated from the Broncos' practice squad Saturday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Humphrey was also called up to the active roster in Week 1, playing 21 snaps on offense and unable to reel in his lone target. With Devaughn Vele (ribs) out of action for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Humphrey may find himself with extra opportunities in the Week 2 matchup.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Goes back to practice squad Humphrey reverted to Denver's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Humphrey played 21 offensive snaps during the Broncos' loss at Seattle in Week 1, but he drew just one target, which fell incomplete. Given his healthy involvement in the offense, there's a decent chance he'll get called on to suit up again in Week 2.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Goes back to practice squad Humphrey reverted to Denver's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated for Week 1 The Broncos elevated Humphrey to the active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Humphrey was unable to make the Broncos' 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp, but he opted to stick around on the practice squad. He played in all 17 regular-season games for Denver in 2023, finishing with 13 catches (on 19 targets) for 162 yards and three touchdowns.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Stays mile high Humphrey signed with the Broncos' practice squad Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Impact Humphrey appeared in all 17 regular-season games for Denver last season, but he only secured 13 catches on 19 targets for 162 yards and three touchdowns. However, it was enough to be brought back on a one-year deal. Even though wasn't able to secure a spot on the 53-man roster, he'll now have the opportunity to work his way back there.

AUGUST 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Released by Denver Humphrey was released by the Broncos on Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official website reports.

Impact Humphrey re-signed with the Broncos in March after compiling 162 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 13 catches over 17 games with the team in 2023, but he'll now look for another opportunity elsewhere. He has appeared in at least three contests in each of the last five NFL seasons and will likely find a new suitor in the near future.

Broncos rookie receiver DeVaughn Vele's age dropped him in the draft but his maturity is now a plus

Former University of Utah wide receiver DeVaughn Vele has been one of the biggest surprises at the Denver Broncos' training camp

AUGUST 14, 2024 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Incredible individual effort for TD Humphrey caught two of four targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Chargers.

Impact Humphrey made the play of the game in the second quarter when he took a short pass from Jarrett Stidham and proceeded to juke and jive his way past several certain tackle opportunities before dashing towards the end zone and extending the ball past the goal line for a 54-yard touchdown. It was the only touchdown either team would record Sunday, and it would have also counted as the game-winning score if this were hockey after breaking a then 3-3 tie. While Lil'Jordan had the best game of any Denver receiver, it is important to point out that his four targets finished third behind starters Jerry Jeudy and Brandon Johnson. Perhaps Humphrey's impressive catch and run will earn him more snaps and targets when the Broncos visit the Raiders in Week 18.

JANUARY 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Plays more than Mims again Humphrey logged 38 of the Broncos' 67 snaps on offense and hauled in his lone target for a 12-yard reception in Sunday's 24-7 win over the Chargers.

Impact For the second week in a row, Humphrey worked as the Broncos' No. 3 receiver ahead of rookie Marvin Mims, taking on a 57 percent snap share to Mims' 37 percent. Though his playing time appears to be on the rise, Humphrey is typically little more than a tertiary option in the passing game while he often shares the field with Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy and Javonte Williams. Humphrey has drawn exactly one target in five straight contests.

DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back to active roster Humphrey was elevated to the Broncos' active roster Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of Denver's official website reports.

Impact Humphrey will continue his trend of being elevated ahead of each of the Broncos' contests this year, joining the active roster for eighth consecutive contest. The wide receiver has caught four passes for 26 yards and a touchdown while playing 121 offensive snaps this season.

OCTOBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back to practice squad Humphrey reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Humphrey has shuttled between the practice squad and active roster most of the season, as he's appeared in all seven games to this point, catching four passes for 26 yards and one touchdown on five targets as a deep reserve.
