RJ Harvey Scores 10th Touchdown of Rookie Season in Week 15 Victory

Denver Broncos rookie running back RJ Harvey had another high-volume day in a 34-26 victory over the Green Bay Packers in Week 15. Knowing this would be a challenging matchup for Harvey to excel in, he still put up 65 yards on 19 carries, one touchdown, and one lost fumble. The most surprising statistic is that Harvey saw just one target in the passing game after averaging over four per game in the past five matchups. The Packers keyed heavily on Harvey in this game, but he still found a way to get into the endzone for the 10th touchdown of his rookie season. Harvey will try to find more efficiency against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16.

Lil'Jordan Humphrey Scores First Touchdown of the Season in Week 15

Denver Broncos wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey had his best game of the season in the 34-26 victory against the Green Bay Packers in Week 15. Since Broncos rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant (hamstring) was out for Week 15, Humphrey had more opportunities and filled in efficiently with three catches on four targets for 42 yards and a touchdown. This marks Humphrey's first touchdown of the season, as he has only seen the field for seven games so far in 2025. If Bryant is ruled out again, Humphrey might see more opportunities again, but will remain a dart-throw option as the Broncos host the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16.

Troy Franklin Shows Up Big in 11th Straight Win

Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin provided an efficient day in the Week 15 34-26 win over the Green Bay Packers. With Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant (hamstring) out this week, Franklin was able to reestablish himself as a force in the offense with six catches on six targets for 85 yards and a touchdown. The catches and yardage were second best on the team, trailing only Courtland Sutton. After seeing a dip in production and all-around involvement since the Broncos' bye week, this could be the game he needed to pry his way back onto the field. Keep an eye on Bryant's availability for Week 16, but Franklin could be a WR2 again against the Jacksonville Jaguars after this efficient performance.

Bo Nix Dominates in 11th Straight Victory

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix led his team to an 11th straight win on the season in the Week 15 matchup versus the Green Bay Packers, defeating them 34-26. Despite playing against a difficult defense, Nix showed up for what was one of his best games of the season, completing 23 of 34 pass attempts for 302 yards, four touchdowns, zero interceptions, and added 10 yards rushing on seven carries. This is precisely what fantasy managers were hoping for in the first round of the playoffs from Nix, who had been struggling to reach QB1 output since Week 8. Getting hot at the right time, Nix will face the Jacksonville Jaguars at home in Week 16.

Marvin Mims Jr. Returns to Sunday's Game

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (concussion) has returned to Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers. Mims was being evaluated for a potential concussion but was able to quickly return to action. With rookie Pat Bryant (hamstring) unable to suit up this weekend, Mims is expected to continue to operate as the team's No. 3 WR behind Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin. Mims immediately made an impact after returning, tallying a nine-yard reception on their scoring drive in the third quarter, which ended with Sutton bringing a 14-yard TD pass from Bo Nix.

Marvin Mims Jr. Being Evaluated for Concussion

The Denver Post's Parker Gabriel reports that Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (concussion) has exited Sunday's matchup with the Green Bay Packers to be evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return. Mims was forced from the contest in the first half, hauling in his lone target for a gain of five yards. With teammate Pat Bryant (hamstring) already having been ruled out before the contest with an issue of his own, Denver would be pretty thin at wide receiver. With the former second-round pick on the sideline, fellow wideouts Lil'Jordan Humphrey and Michael Bandy figure to pick up some extra snaps. As it stands, Humphrey, Bandy, Courtland Sutton, and Troy Franklin are the only remaining WRs without an injury designation on the active roster.

Courtland Sutton Startable Despite Tough Matchup in Week 15

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton isn't quite having the type of success that fantasy managers expect from a WR1 in an offense. Sutton has played better lately, with 59 receiving yards or more in three straight games. Over that span, Sutton has seen 24 targets, so he should continue to see the ball coming his way. He'll draw a tough matchup against the Green Bay Packers defense in Week 15. A defensive unit that has allowed the fewest yards per reception coming into this game. Sutton has enough upside to be at least started as a FLEX option this weekend.

Courtland Sutton Takes Back WR1 Role in Broncos Offense

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has taken back the WR1 role in the Broncos' offense over the last two weeks. The 30-year-old has been able to rekindle his connection with Bo Nix and has taken advantage of positive matchups against the Washington Commanders and Las Vegas Raiders. In back-to-back games, Sutton has had 11 catches for 124 yards with one touchdown on 16 targets. Sutton was also able to reach double-digit targets in last Sunday's game for the first time since Week 7. This performance was able to boost his season-long stats and now leads the Broncos in every receiving statistical category. Sutton will face tougher competition on Sunday against a Green Bay Packers defense that has allowed the fewest yards per reception. Despite this, Sutton's reemergence in the Broncos' offense allows fantasy managers to fire him up as a dependable flex option in Week 15.

Marvin Mims Jr. Offers Little Value for Fantasy Playoffs

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. enjoyed an early-season stretch that saw him finish as a top 20 fantasy wideout in two of four weeks, topping out at WR8 in a Week 4 win over the Bengals. Over the past seven weeks, though, he has been a non-factor for fantasy, missing time with a concussion, and seeing little involvement since returning in Week 13. Heading into the first round of the fantasy playoffs, he no longer needs to be rostered, and he projects as RotoBaller's WR70 in a Week 15 matchup with a Packers defense that has been top-10 for most of the season at limiting opposing fantasy wide receivers.

Troy Franklin Set for Expanded Role With Teammate Out

Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin has been trending in the wrong direction since the bye week and will host a relentless Green Bay Packers defense in Week 15. Coming off his two consecutive lowest snap shares of the season at 53% in Week 13 and 26% in Week 14, it seems the Broncos have revamped the offense to feature other players in the past two weeks. After leading the team in targets on the season until Week 14, it's certainly a cause for concern with fantasy managers. However, Franklin will see an increased target share and snaps with Pat Bryant (hamstring) ruled out for Week 15. The Packers have the seventh-best pass defense, allowing 185.8 yards per game, and will likely give the Broncos' passing attack a run for their money in Week 15. Despite Bryant being out, Franklin is mainly an option in deep leagues and comes in as RotoBaller's WR41 overall in Week 15.

Wil Lutz Could Struggle to Find Opportunities Against the Packers

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz will look to get scoring opportunities against another difficult defensive matchup this week in the Green Bay Packers. The Packers rank sixth-best in points allowed per game at just 19, and Lutz has been great when being called upon to put it through the uprights, but might lack opportunities in Week 15. Lutz has only had one game all season with more than nine points scored in a game, although the outlier game was 16 points with one 50+ yard field goal in Week 11. It won't be easy to bet on Lutz having a boom week against the Packers, and he comes into Week 15 as RotoBaller's 13th-ranked kicker.

RJ Harvey Gaining Momentum but has Difficult Matchup in Week 15

Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey will be the workhorse back once again as they face the Green Bay Packers at home in Week 15. Although the Packers rank eighth-best in rushing yards allowed per game, averaging 101.8, Harvey is coming off his best game of the rookie season with 23 touches for 100 total yards and a touchdown. Having six targets in the last game as a frequent checkdown option also pads his floor and shows Harvey's versatility in the offense as a key piece of head coach Sean Payton's game plan. The Packers will be a good test for Harvey as he's rounding out his rookie regular season, alluding to RotoBaller ranking him as the RB19 overall for Week 15.

Evan Engram Remains a Dart Throw at the Tight End Position

Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram will be a tough start in Week 15 as they host the Green Bay Packers. Engram hasn't been able to provide much help to fantasy managers this season as he's had two games over 10 fantasy points in half-ppr formats in 2025, both ending in back-half TE1 finishes. Broncos tight end Adam Trautman has actually gotten the dominant snap shares for most of the season, although Engram has seen 61 targets to Trautman's 18. Shockingly, they both have the same number of touchdowns at one apiece. With Engram being a weekly dart throw at the tight end position, there are several safer options to choose from as RotoBaller ranks him at TE25 overall for Week 15.

Courtland Sutton Faces Stingy Packers Passing Defense in Week 15

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton faces the Green Bay Packers in Week 15 in what could be another defensive battle. Sutton has had exactly 62 receiving yards in the past two games, but will be challenged by the seventh-best defense in average passing yards allowed at just 185.8 per game. It seems Sutton has returned to the clear WR1 role for the Broncos' offense since the bye week, but in Week 14, he had a season-low snap share of 65%. With the likelihood that Sutton will be a key piece of the offense if the Broncos want to beat the Packers this time around, it will be tough to bet on fantasy success as RotoBaller ranks him at WR27 overall for Week 15.

Bo Nix Faces Another Top-Ranked Defense in Week 15

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix will host the Green Bay Packers in Week 15 for the first round of fantasy playoffs. The Packers enter Week 15 as the fifth-best defense in the NFL, averaging just 287.2 yards per game. It's been tough sledding for the Broncos this year in defensive matchups, and with Nix scoring just two touchdowns through the air along with three interceptions in the past four games, it will be hard to have faith that Nix will match some of the best quarterbacks in playoff matchups. While Nix has been a solid quarterback for the Broncos and is looking to lead them to their 11th straight win, Nix is RotoBaller's QB18 for Week 15.

Pat Bryant Ruled Out for Sunday

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers, according to Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette. Head coach Sean Payton said that Bryant could play with the hamstring injury if it were a playoff game, but the team will hold him out for this game after he missed practice all week. It's unfortunate timing for the rookie third-rounder after taking over as Denver's WR2 ahead of Troy Franklin opposite Courtland Sutton in recent weeks. Bryant has totaled 12 receptions for 156 yards on 17 targets in the past three games. His absence will open up more opportunities for Franklin, Marvin Mims Jr., and Lil'Jordan Humphrey on Sunday. Franklin is back on the fantasy radar as a potential flex play with Bryant out, but he is tough to trust in lineups in a tough Week 15 matchup against the Packers.

Pat Bryant Trending Toward Missing Week 15

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant (hamstring) missed a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday and is not expected to be available to play this Sunday when the Green Bay Packers come to town. Bryant has one more day to return to practice on Friday, but as of right now, things aren't looking good for his availability this weekend. It's bad timing for the 23-year-old third-rounder out of Illinois, as he has had a bigger role in Denver's passing attack over the last three games. Bryant has been more productive than second-year wideout Troy Franklin recently, catching 12 of his 17 targets for 156 yards over the last three games. If Bryant is inactive on Sunday, which seems likely, Franklin could get back in the good graces of his fantasy managers. Big-play receiver Marvin Mims Jr. and tight end Evan Engram should see more involvement as well.

RJ Harvey Handling More Work in Broncos' Backfield

Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey posted his most significant workload of the season in Week 14's 24-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, totaling 100 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 23 total opportunities. Harvey was out there for the most snaps (50) and highest snap share (68%) of his debut season, setting a new career-high with his touch total. It was a strong performance for the rookie, and he'd be on the rise even further if fantasy managers could rely on a heavy touch load moving forward. Denver's offense has been up and down, but Harvey's touchdown upside and an increasing opportunity share have him positioned to be a force down the stretch of the fantasy playoffs. He'll face a tough test this weekend against the visiting Green Bay Packers, though he still presents solid RB2 value.

Pat Bryant Not Expected to Play in Week 15 With Hamstring Injury

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday's practice and is not looking good heading into this week's matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Bryant appeared on the injury report late last week with a hamstring injury, which limited him during Thursday and Friday's practices before Week 14. According to Broncos Insider Benjamin Allbright, Bryant is expected to be sidelined for Week 15. Thursday and Friday's practice reports will determine whether he can play in Week 15, but Troy Franklin would be the biggest beneficiary if Bryant misses this week.

Troy Franklin Fading in Broncos Offense?

Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin has operated as the team's No. 2 wide receiver opposite Courtland Sutton for the vast majority of the season. However, his role in the offense has decreased lately, beginning in Week 13 against the Washington Commanders. The second-year wideout played 37 offensive snaps in that game, his lowest all season at that time, but his 68.8% route share still aligned with his season average of 71.6%. Both marks plummeted in the Week 14 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, as his snaps were cut in half to just 19 and his route share dipped to a season-low 39.5%. Rookie third-rounder Pat Bryant has seemingly overtaken him as the No. 2 option opposite Sutton. After leading the Broncos in targets for most of the season, Franklin's role has been cut back due to his inconsistent hands and limitations as a run-blocker. He profiles as a low-ceiling flex option heading into Week 15 against a tough Green Bay Packers defense.
