Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds (finger) returned to practice on Wednesday, opening his 21-day practice window. Ryan McFadden of The Denver Post reported the news. The 29-year-old wideout was on the shelf for the last month when the Broncos placed him on injured reserve due to a broken finger. Reynolds was also the victim of a shooting not six days later. However, the Texas A&M product was able to log a full session in the team's first practice ahead of Week 11, suggesting that his return could come sooner rather than later. When Reynolds is activated, one of his fellow wideouts, Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Troy Franklin, and Devaughn Vele, will see their playing time cut; though, who that will be remains to be seen.
Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds (arm, head, finger), who is currently on Injured Reserve due to a broken finger injury, was injured in a shooting on Oct. 18 in Denver after being followed from a strip club. Reynolds was shot twice, once in his left arm and once in the back of his head. "Josh Reynolds was a victim of a shooting on Friday in Denver and received treatment for minor injuries. Out of respect for the legal process, we will defer further comment on this matter to the authorities," the Broncos said in a statement. The 29-year-old is extremely lucky to come away with only minor injuries after being shot twice. He is eligible to return from IR in Week 10 against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs, but his new injuries may push that timetable back. Reynolds is rostered in just 1% of Yahoo leagues and had 12 catches for 183 yards and a TD in his first five games with Denver.
Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds (finger) is dealing with a fractured finger, according to head coach Sean Payton. The Broncos put Reynolds on Injured Reserve over the weekend, so he'll be forced to miss at least the next three games after Denver's Week 6 loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. The earliest Reynolds would be able to return will be for a Week 10 divisional clash against the Kansas City Chiefs. Until then, Broncos rookie wideouts Devaughn Vele and Troy Franklin will see added opportunities to make plays in the passing game alongside Courtland Sutton. Vele has shown some nice chemistry with rookie quarterback Bo Nix in his two games played, while Franklin, a former college teammate of Nix's at Oregon, scored his first career NFL touchdown in Week 6. Still, both wideouts will need to show more to become realistic waiver-wire pickups in 12-team leagues.
Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds (finger) has been placed on the injured reserve ahead of the Week 6 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. The organization was hopeful that Reynolds would only miss one game after having a minor finger surgery. Clearly that wasn't the case as Reynolds will now sit out the next four weeks. The absence of Reynolds should mean more playing time for Lil' Jordan Humphrey, Marvin Mims Jr. and Troy Franklin. Between the trio, Humphrey has the biggest upside after a 48-yard performance last week.
Josh Reynolds Undergoes Finger Surgery, Expected To Miss At Least One Game
Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds (finger) had minor finger surgery and is expected to miss at least one game and likely a few more as he works to potentially return in late October, according to a league source. Reynolds will not suit up this Sunday as the team takes on the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers in Denver. The 29-year-old was already heading towards being inactive this weekend after not practicing at all this week. With just three receptions on six targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in the last three games, Reynolds wasn't really on the fantasy radar in most leagues to begin with heading into the divisional showdown versus the Bolts. With Reynolds sidelined now, look for Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Marvin Mims Jr. and rookie Troy Franklin to have more chances for targets behind WR1 Courtland Sutton. We wouldn't recommend any of Humphrey, Mims or Franklin as streaming options against a tough LA defense.
Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hand) missed his second straight practice this week on Thursday due to a hand injury. Reynolds' status for the Week 6 contest versus the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers this Sunday is firmly up in the air. He'll likely need to practice in some fashion on Friday to avoid being ruled out entirely. If Reynolds is limited or out entirely this weekend, look for the likes of Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Marvin Mims Jr. and rookie Troy Franklin to battle for more targets behind WR1 Courtland Sutton. The 29-year-old Reynolds was much more involved in the first several games of the 2024 season. During the team's three-game winning streak, Reynolds only has three catches on six targets for 45 yards, although he did find the end zone for the first time this year in the Week 5 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Reynolds belongs on the waiver wire in most formats.
Josh Reynolds' Lone Catch Goes For A Touchdown In Week 5
For the second straight week, Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds saw just two targets from rookie quarterback Bo Nix in the 34-18 blowout win over the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Reynolds caught one of those two targets for a nine-yard touchdown reception, his first score of the 2024 season. The 29-year-old pass-catcher entered the Week 4 upset win over the New York Jets leading the team in receiving yards, but he's caught just one pass on four targets for the nine-yard touchdown the last two games. It was especially disappointing that he didn't do much as the team scored a season-high 34 points. Courtland Sutton will continue to be the unquestioned top target for Nix, and Denver's offense to this point hasn't been explosive enough to sustain more than one wideout for fantasy purposes. Reynolds belongs on the waiver wire in most fantasy leagues heading into Week 6 against the Chargers.
Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds (foot) is rostered in only 2% of Yahoo leagues and shouldn't be anywhere near starting fantasy lineups for the team's Week 5 matchup at home against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. Reynolds surprisingly entered the Week 4 tilt against the New York Jets leading the team in receiving yards after three weeks, but he proceeded to put up a donut last Sunday with no catches on only two targets in the 10-9 upset win. Conditions should be more favorable against a softer Raiders defense this weekend, but Reynolds belongs on the waiver wire in most fantasy leagues as the WR2 in one of the weakest offenses in the NFL. At best, he's a volatile WR4/flex for those desperate in deeper formats. Reynolds has 11 catches on 17 targets for 174 yards and no touchdowns through four games, placing him outside the top-50 wideouts in half-PPR scoring.
Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds entered the Week 4 contest against the New York Jets as Denver's leading receiver through the first three games. But in the 10-9 rain-soaked upset victory on Sunday over the Jets in Week 4, rookie quarterback Bo Nix only looked Reynolds' way two times, and he was unable to catch either of the two targets. We warned fantasy managers that Reynolds was an extremely volatile and desperate flex play in an offense that is among the worst in the NFL after four weeks of the 2024 campaign. Reynolds and the Broncos should be able to move the ball much better in a Week 5 divisional matchup versus the Las Vegas Raiders, but expectations should remain low for Broncos pass-catchers not named Courtland Sutton. The 29-year-old caught 11 of his 17 targets for 174 yards and no touchdowns through the first three games.
Josh Reynolds A Desperation Flex Option Versus Jets
Surprisingly, Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds leads the team with 174 receiving yards on 11 catches (15 targets) through the first three weeks of the season. He is second on the team in targets behind Courtland Sutton's 27. But with the Broncos offense struggling under rookie quarterback Bo Nix as he spreads the ball around, Reynolds profiles as a desperation flex play in Week 4 against a stout New York Jets defense that has allowed the fourth-fewest passing yards per game so far in 2024. Reynolds has been battling an Achilles injury that kept him limited in Wednesday's practice, but he was a full-go on Thursday and Friday and was removed from the final injury report for the week. The 29-year-old is only rostered in 3% of Yahoo leagues at the moment and is coming off his worst game in the Week 3 in over the Buccaneers, when he caught two passes for 36 yards.
