K.J. Hamler Fantasy

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler has 26 targets in the last three games, which he has turned into 14 catches for 160 yards. Hamler has seen his role increase in the last three weeks, but he has only one touchdown in his rookie season and 25 receptions for 275 yards in eight total games. The 21-year-old from Penn State has seen more production out of the slot and has big-play upside, but Denver is using him as more of a chain-mover than a deep threat. In this inconsistent offense as the third wideout behind rookie Jerry Jeudy and Tim Patrick, it's hard to put much faith in Hamler in single-year fantasy leagues. He'll be a WR4/flex in deeper leagues against New Orleans this Sunday.

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler contributed four catches for 35 yards on six targets in the 20-13 Week 11 win over the Dolphins on Sunday. Hamler continues to have a role in the Broncos offense, but they relied mostly on a successful ground attack in this upset victory over Miami. The 21-year-old rookie out of Penn State does have 26 targets for 14 receptions and 160 yards over the last three games, but he has just one touchdown on the season in eight games so far. The quick and explosive slot weapon can break big plays at any time and has become a WR4/5 in deeper leagues as he sees an increased role in the offense. Hamler could be a surprise performer in a Week 12 matchup against the Saints, but fantasy managers in 12-team leagues should still have better flex options.

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler has seen 10 targets in back-to-back weeks and caught four passes for 50 yards in the Week 10 loss to the division-rival Raiders. The 20 targets in the last two weeks shows that Hamler has earned a more prominent role alongside fellow rookie Jerry Jeudy and Tim Patrick. The 21-year-old has a bright future and could be very successful out of the slot in this offense, but he's not quite a weekly flex consideration in fantasy leagues with Jeudy, Patrick and tight end Noah Fant also competing for targets with him. Hamler will have some opportunities in Week 11 against the Dolphins and has sneaky upside, but for now he's a bench stash in deeper leagues, especially if quarterback Drew Lock (ribs) doesn't play this week.
