Houston Texans wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton (knee) will undergo knee surgery, but is expected to return at some point this season. He suffered a non-contact injury during OTA workouts. Luckily, the injury isn't believed to be a torn ACL, which is good news. The 27-year-old was released by the Denver Broncos in March after missing all of the 2021 season. Hamilton has recorded 81 receptions with 833 receiving yards over the course of his first three seasons in the NFL. He's not expected to have a huge role in the Houston offense, assuming he returns in time for the beginning of the season.
Houston Texans wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton (knee) is having his right knee examined at practice on Tuesday at voluntary organized team activities. It's unknown how serious Hamilton's knee injury is at this time, but it's worth noting that he missed all of last year with the Denver Broncos due to a torn ACL that he suffered last May. Hamilton came to Houston on a one-year deal this offseason, and he's expected to provide receiving depth after catching 81 of 141 targets for 833 yards and five touchdowns in his three seasons with the Broncos from 2018-20.
The Houston Texans are working out former Denver Broncos wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton on Friday. Hamilton was released by the Broncos earlier this week. The 27-year-old tore his ACL last May and missed all of the 2021 season. In three prior seasons with the Broncos, Hamilton combined for 81 catches on 141 targets for 833 yards and five touchdowns in 46 games (nine starts). The former fourth-round pick in 2018 will most likely represent receiving depth for whichever team he joins next, so fantasy managers can safely avoid him in drafts.
The Denver Broncos released wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton on Tuesday, according to a source. Hamilton is fully recovered from the torn ACL he suffered last offseason. The Broncos were set to trade him to the San Francisco 49ers last year before his knee injury, but the former fourth-round pick is expected to draw interest on the open market this offseason. The 26-year-old has 81 receptions for 833 yards and five touchdowns on 141 targets in three NFL seasons with Denver, and he should serve as depth at the position for whichever organization he signs with. It's unclear if the Niners still have interest in him after his injury.
The Denver Broncos officially waived wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton (knee) with a non-football injury designation on Tuesday after he tore his ACL while training on his own last week. The Broncos were on the verge of trading Hamilton to the San Francisco 49ers last week, but his injury ended any chances of a deal happening. With Courtland Sutton returning from a torn ACL of his own, Hamilton would've been far down the team's receiving depth chart behind Jerry Jeudy, KJ Hamler and Tim Patrick. Teams likely would've been interested in Hamilton's blend of speed and athleticism, but he'll now likely miss all of the 2021 season. The 26-year-old had 81 catches (141 targets) for 833 yards and five touchdowns in his three seasons with the Broncos.
Denver Broncos wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton (knee) has suffered a torn ACL away from the team's facilities, according to sources. It was reported on Thursday that the Broncos were waiving Hamilton due to a surplus of depth at the position, but he hasn't officially been waived and the team was in the process of working out a trade with another team for after rookie minicamp before the injury struck. In light of this injury, the Broncos will hold tight and re-evaluate their options with Hamilton. Waiving Hamilton will save the team $2.8 million in salary cap space. He's likely to become the odd man out of a loaded wideout corps that includes Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy, KJ Hamler and Tim Patrick. Hamilton had 23 catches for 293 yards and two touchdowns in 16 games for Denver last year.
The Denver Broncos are waiving wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton on Thursday, according to a source. The Broncos have a surplus of depth at the position and had trade talks involving the former fourth-round pick, but they couldn't finalize a deal. There's a strong possibility that Hamilton is claimed off waivers by another team. The 26-year-old caught 23 of his 44 targets last year for 293 yards and two touchdowns in 16 games (two starts). In his three seasons with the Broncos, Hamilton recorded 81 receptions for 833 yards and five touchdowns in 46 games (nine starts). With Courtland Sutton returning from injury this year, the Broncos will also have second-year wideouts Jerry Jeudy and KJ Hamler and Tim Patrick in the fold in four-receiver sets.
The Denver Broncos could decide to trade wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton in the coming weeks leading up to the NFL draft after they drafted wide receivers in the first and second rounds last year -- Jerry Jeudy and KJ Hamler, respectively. Denver also has Tim Patrick, who impressed in 2020 in an expanded role, and Courtland Sutton, who will be returning from injury in 2021. The Broncos have received inquiries on Hamilton, Penn State's all-time leading receiver and former fourth-round pick. He has hauled in 81 catches in his three seasons with the Broncos and had 23 receptions for 293 yards and two touchdowns last year. The 26-year-old had a 12.7 yard-per-catch average in 2020, so he could be a nice downfield threat for another team if he's traded.
DaeSean Hamilton Likely To See A Bigger Role In Week 17
Denver Broncos wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton surprisingly led the team in receiving in their Week 16 loss to the division-rival Chargers, catching a season-high five passes on a season-high nine targets for 77 yards. It was likely attributed to the fact that rookie wideout K.J. Hamler left the game early with a concussion and never returned. Hamler didn't practice on Wednesday and will likely be held out as a precaution in the meaningless season finale this Sunday, paving the way for Hamilton to work in three-receiver sets next to rookie Jerry Jeudy and Tim Patrick. While you shouldn't expect a repeat of Week 16 or start him in fantasy lineups, Hamilton should have extra opportunities to improve on his 21-275-2 line in 15 games for Denver this season in a Week 17 matchup with the Raiders.
DaeSean Hamilton Leads Broncos In Receiving In Week 16
Denver Broncos wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton surprisingly led the team in receiving in the 19-16 Week 16 loss to the division-rival Chargers. Hamilton had five catches on nine targets for 77 yards in the contest. His nine targets were tied for second-most on the team with tight end Noah Fant. The nine targets were also a season-high and were the result of rookie K.J. Hamler (head) leaving the game early to be evaluated for a concussion. Hamler never returned in the game. The 25-year-old had four catches for a season-high 82 yards and one of his two touchdowns back in Week 8 against the Chargers, so Hamilton really enjoyed facing LA this year. He'll have some more upside in Week 17 against the Raiders if Hamler isn't cleared, but Hamilton would still be a desperation flex option in Denver's inconsistent offense.
