Who Should I Start? D.J. Montgomery or Lil'jordan Humphrey

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver D.J. Montgomery was called on to fill in for injured wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (concussion) in the team's 30-13 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Montgomery caught two of his four targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in the team's win. Montgomery had not recorded a stat for the Colts before this week but served as a direct replacement for the injured Pittman (concussion). If Pittman (concussion) is expected to miss additional time, Montgomery may be worth a look on the waiver wire ahead of Week 16.

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.
