Denver Broncos wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey is second on the team this year in targets behind Courtland Sutton, but he cannot be trusted in starting fantasy lineups for the Monday night matchup in Week 13 against the Cleveland Browns. The matchup is a good one for fantasy purposes, with the Browns allowing the seventh-most half-PPR points per game to the position, but Humphrey could see even more competition for targets if Josh Reynolds (hand) returns from Injured Reserve. In addition, rookie Devaughn Vele has been more involved of late and has essentially become rookie QB Bo Nix's No. 2 target behind Sutton. The best fantasy managers can hope for with Humphrey is that he uses his after-the-catch skills to break a big play. Humphrey has scored only once in 2024, has gone over five catches in a game only once and has 50-plus yards only twice in 12 games.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey had his best game of 2024 in the Week 11 blowout win over the Atlanta Falcons, catching all four of his targets for a season-high 52 yards and his first touchdown of the year. Humphrey will be looking for a second straight strong game this Sunday against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders and their beat-up secondary. The 26-year-old played only 44% of the offensive snaps last week, though, and faces plenty of competition for targets alongside Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims Jr. and rookies Devaughn Vele and Troy Franklin. Rookie QB Bo Nix has been spreading the ball around all year to wideouts not named Sutton, too, making it mostly a crapshoot for which receiver might have the best game behind Sutton. Fantasy managers playing him as a WR5/flex in deep leagues are merely hoping for a couple big plays and potentially another TD.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey joined the party in the Week 11 win over the visiting Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, catching all four of his targets on the day for a season-high 52 receiving yards and his first touchdown of the year in the 38-6 laugher. It was a nice bounce-back performance after Humphrey had only two catches for 23 yards in the Week 10 loss to the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. Humphrey brings impressive after-the-catch abilities, so it was no surprise his touchdown catch came on a 41-yard reception to put the Falcons away late. He has seen additional opportunities in an improving Broncos passing attack since Josh Reynolds (finger) went on Injured Reserve, but Reynolds could be returning soon. At best, Humphrey will be a dart-throw WR5/flex in Week 12 when the team travels to take on the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders.
Nov 18, 2024 12:39 AM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey is 0% rostered in Yahoo fantasy football leagues and is not a recommended play for the Week 11 tilt in Denver against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Humphrey does have some impressive after-the-catch abilities, but Denver's offense just hasn't had enough firepower this year to really support another fantasy-relevant pass-catcher behind Courtland Sutton. The 26-year-old Humphrey only had two receptions (three targets) for 23 yards in last week's loss to the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs, and he's currently fourth on the team in receiving yards (211) on the year. Humphrey also has yet to find the end zone in 2024. He hasn't eclipsed 50 receiving yards in a single game despite seeing a bigger role on offense ever since the injury to Josh Reynolds (finger).
Nov 16, 2024 10:25 AM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey simply cannot be trusted in fantasy for a Week 10 divisional matchup this Sunday on the road against the 9-0 Kansas City Chiefs. Humphrey ranks third on the Broncos in targets (32), receptions (21) and receiving yards (188), but the lack of production speaks for itself, and he has yet to get into the end zone in nine games played. The 26-year-old does have some impressive yards-after-the-catch skills, but he's only gone over four catches in a game once this year and still has yet to eclipse 50 yards in a game. Denver's offense could struggle to move the ball for the second straight week against a Chiefs defense that has allowed the eighth-fewest half-PPR points to opposing pass-catchers this season. There's no reason for Humphrey to be rostered in 12-team fantasy leagues.
Nov 9, 2024 12:05 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey contributed very little in the team's 41-10 blowout loss to the hosting Baltimore Ravens on Sunday in Week 9, catching two of his five targets for a measly 11 yards. The good news is Humphrey played the second-most offensive snaps among wideouts behind Courtland Sutton, and his five targets were also second-most on the team behind Sutton's 10 in a game in which the Broncos were shut down by a Ravens defense that had been struggling coming into this contest. The 26-year-old former undrafted free agent out of Texas has impressive after-the-catch abilities and should continue to have an expanded role for as long as Josh Reynolds (finger) remains out, but fantasy managers just can't trust any Broncos receiver outside of Sutton for weekly production. Through nine games, Humphrey has 21 catches, 188 yards and no touchdowns.
Nov 4, 2024 10:51 AM EST
There's a reason Denver Broncos wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey is rostered in 0% of Yahoo Leagues. He has caught only 19 passes for 177 yards with no touchdowns on 27 targets in eight games this season. With that being said, he has played more lately and has six catches for 34 yards on nine targets the last two games with Josh Reynolds (finger) still on Injured Reserve. Humphrey caught four passes for 22 yards on six targets, which was second on the team behind Courtland Sutton, in the Week 8 win over the Carolina Panthers. He also played the second-most snaps among Denver's wideouts behind Sutton. The 26-year-old is a desperation, boom/bust flex play in the deepest of fantasy leagues, although there's boom potential in Week 9 versus a Baltimore Ravens secondary that is allowing the most passing yards per game in 2024.
Nov 2, 2024 5:19 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds (finger) has been ruled out for Week 6 against the Los Angeles Chargers, which will lead to more involvement for receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey. In the Week 5 win over the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders, he played the second-most snaps of Denver's receivers and caught both of his targets for 48 yards. Despite the opportunity, we aren't recommending Humphrey to fantasy managers against a Chargers defense that has allowed the fourth-fewest half-PPR fantasy points to opposing wideouts this year. The 26-year-old does have impressive yards-after-the-catch abilities with the ball in his hands, but he's just not very exciting in what has been a low-scoring offense led by a rookie quarterback, especially in a tough matchup. Humphrey has 12 catches for 135 yards and no scores through five games in 2024 and should be left on the waiver wire in standard-sized, 12-team leagues.
Oct 12, 2024 7:37 AM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey got involved in Week 5 in the 38-14 blowout win over the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Humphrey was only targeted twice by rookie quarterback Bo Nix, but he made the most of his limited opportunities by catching both of his targets for 48 yards, which led all Denver receivers on the day. The yardage was just two yards shy of his season-high back in Week 2 in the loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, when he caught four of five targets for 50 yards. Humphrey has 12 receptions for 135 yards and no touchdowns on 17 targets through five games in his second year with the Broncos and remains well off the fantasy radar in most leagues. He will continue to fight for limited targets with Josh Reynolds, rookie Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims Jr. in what has mostly been an inconsistent offense in Denver.
Oct 7, 2024 10:30 AM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey and fullback Michael Burton have been elevated ahead of the Week 1 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Humphrey has experience in this system as he played a full season with the Broncos in 2023. He finished with 13 receptions for 162 yards and three touchdowns last season. The assumption is that Humphrey is going to be extra depth heading into this game, so he probably won't see much time on the field. As for Burton, he should be the starting fullback, but there's not much fantasy value that comes along with that spot. Both players can be kept off the fantasy radar heading into Week 1.
Sep 7, 2024 6:20 PM EST
The Denver Broncos re-signed wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey to an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday, according to a source. Humphrey had 13 receptions for 162 yards and a career-high three touchdowns in his first year in Denver in 2023 while playing in all 17 games. While he had a career-best season catching the football, he was also the team's best blocking wideout. The 25-year-old could have a bigger role in 2024, too, following the team's trade of Jerry Jeudy to the Cleveland Browns last weekend. However, with the Broncos most likely starting either Jarrett Stidham or a rookie at quarterback, it will be hard to trust any receiver in Denver next year not named Courtland Sutton. Humphrey also has only 31 career receptions for 477 yards and six touchdowns in his five NFL seasons.
Mar 13, 2024 5:39 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey was able to make a big splash for this struggling offense during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. The veteran wideout turned an eight-yard route into a 54-yard touchdown. After that, Humphrey was pretty quiet as he finished with two receptions on four targets for 69 yards in the win. The Broncos are expected to continue starting Jarrett Stidham for the regular season finale. That means, none of the Broncos wideouts are going to have much appeal versus the Las Vegas Raiders next weekend.
Dec 31, 2023 9:49 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey could be looking at a significant role in Week 17 versus the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers with Courtland Sutton (concussion) out and Jerry Jeudy (illness) and rookie Marvin Mims Jr. (hamstring) both questionable to play. Humphrey played 58 percent of the offensive snaps for the second straight week in last Sunday's loss to the New England Patriots after Sutton went down with a concussion, but it didn't lead to any targets through the air. The 25-year-old should see the field plenty this Sunday with Sutton out, but one of or both Jeudy/Mims will probably be active, which means Humphrey is likely to be a long shot to produce meaningful fantasy numbers, especially with quarterback Jarrett Stidham now leading the Broncos offense. Humphrey has only 11 receptions for 93 yards and two touchdowns in 2023.
Dec 30, 2023 2:01 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey found the end zone for the second time this year on a great contested catch in the back of the end zone on Saturday night in the team's 42-17 blowout loss to the Detroit Lions. Humphrey is starting to see more playing time over rookie Marvin Mims Jr. on offense and it translated to his best game of the year with three catches on four targets for 16 yards and his second touchdown in 2023. The 25-year-old's first TD came back in Week 1. Humphrey's trip to paydirt came in garbage time with the Broncos down multiple scores in the second half, so fantasy managers shouldn't bank on him becoming fantasy relevant down the stretch of the regular season in an offense that prefers to rely on their ground game in positive game script.
Dec 17, 2023 1:47 PM EST
The Denver Broncos have signed wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey to the practice squad on Saturday. They've also elevated Humphrey to the active roster ahead of Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. The 25-year-old was let go by the team on Friday, but returns a day later. The Broncos offense is in need of some help with tight end Greg Dulcich (hamstring) landing on the injured reserve. Humphrey has recorded four receptions for 26 yards and a touchdown in six games this season. Fantasy managers shouldn't view him as a reliable streaming option.
Oct 21, 2023 9:40 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey was released by the team again on Friday. The 25-year-old wideout was actually cut by the Broncos last week before subsequently resigning to the Denver practice squad and then being added to the active roster before Week 6. This time, however, the Broncos claimed defensive tackle Keondre Coburn, formerly of the Kansas City Chiefs, off waivers and needed to make room for him, so Humphrey was released yet again. If history is any indication, the fifth-year wide receiver could find himself back on the Denver practice squad before next weekend.
Oct 20, 2023 6:29 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey has been released by the team. The fifth-year receiver, who has played sparingly through the first five weeks of the season, will finish his tenure with the Broncos with four catches for 25 yards and a score. Humphrey was cut at the end of camp in August before being resigned to the practice squad and eventually being promoted to the active roster in Week 1. Not that the 25-year-old commanded much offensive attention in the first place, but his departure should open up more looks in the passing game for Marvin Mims Jr., who despite playing far fewer snaps than Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton, is leading the Broncos with 246 receiving yards.
Oct 11, 2023 6:12 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey is being promoted to the 53-man active roster. In a corresponding move, the team placed safety Caden Sterns (knee) on Injured Reserve. Humphrey caught both of his targets for 11 yards and a touchdown in the Week 1 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. The 25-year-old spent three seasons with the New Orleans Saints during Sean Payton's tenure, and he could see more playing time while Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) is out. Still, he's not on the fantasy radar until further notice.
Sep 13, 2023 2:55 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey connected with quarterback Russell Wilson on one of his two touchdown passes on Sunday in the team's 17-16 season-opening loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 1. All in all, Humphrey caught both of his targets for only 11 yards and the touchdown, so even fantasy managers in cavernous leagues shouldn't be running out to the waiver wire next week to add him. His touchdown reception came five yards out from the end zone. The 25-year-old was elevated from the practice squad for the first week of the season with the Broncos holding Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) out due to injury on Sunday. If Jeudy is able to return in Week 2 to make his season debut against the Washington Commanders, Humphrey is likely to have an even smaller role on offense.
Sep 11, 2023 12:01 AM EST
Humphrey was cut from the Patriots' practice squad Tuesday.
