KJ Hamler News
Denver Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler (hamstring) will not return to play this year after suffering a setback with his hamstring injury when he slipped while running on indoor turf. Hamler was placed on Injured Reserve last week, so he would've been eligible to return for the regular season finale in Week 18. Before he had aggravated his hamstring injury, the 23-year-old speedster had missed the previous three games. The former second-rounder in 2020 hasn't panned out for Denver, and injuries have mostly been to blame. Hamler played in just three games in 2021 due to a torn ACL and will finish the 2022 campaign with only seven catches on 14 targets for 165 yards and no touchdowns. He hasn't scored a touchdown since finding the end zone three times in his rookie year.
Denver Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler (hamstring) has been placed on the injured reserve. The 23-year-old reportedly suffered a setback during his rehab from his hamstring injury. He has already missed the last three games and will now miss an additional four games. Hamler will be eligible to play in Week 17, but it's likely that the Broncos just shut him down for the season. Kendall Hinton should benefit without Hamler on the field going forward.
Denver Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett said that wide receiver KJ Hamler (hamstring) has suffered a setback in his recovery from a hamstring injury that has kept him out since Week 8. Hamler hasn't practiced yet this week and remains sidelined indefinitely. The 23-year-old speedy deep threat continues to be hampered by injuries early in his career, and he should be on the waiver wire in all single-year fantasy leagues. In seven games played in 2022, he has only seven catches on 14 targets for 165 yards and no touchdowns. With Jerry Jeudy (ankle) also hurt, Kendall Hinton has emerged as the Broncos' No. 2 pass-catcher behind Courtland Sutton in this broken offense. Brandon Johnson emerged for his first career touchdown in Week 12.

The Denver Broncos mightily upgraded its quarterback position in the form of former Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton already had plenty of interest, but with Wilson in town, we can dive deeper into the Broncos' pass-catching group. KJ Hamler is likely on the outside looking in behind Jeudy, Sutton, and Tim Patrick, but he could carve out a decent role as the 2022 season progresses. He can be viewed as a "handcuff" wide receiver with upside if an...
