The Denver Broncos led by back-up quarterback Jarrett Stidham could not move the ball effectively against The New England Patriots.
The Denver Broncos lost the AFC Conference Championship game 10-7 against the New England Patriots. Denver already had a tall task relying on back-up quarterback Jarrett Stidham after starter Bo Nix broke his ankle last week. The first drive for Denver featured a beautiful 52 yard deep ball to Marvin Mims, followed with a touchdown to Courtland Sutton. From there, Denver could not do anything on offense. The blizzard like conditions in the second half didn’t help either offense.
Stidham finished completing 17 of 31 pass attempts for 133 passing yards for one touchdown and one interception. RJ Harvey had 13 carries for 37 rushing yards and 4 receptions for 22 receiving yards. Mims finished as the most productive reciever with 4 receptions for 62 receiving yards.
This playoff stretch was rough for rookie running back RJ Harvey. He showed so much promise throughout the season, with seven games of RB12 or higher on the week. His athletic ability is too good to ignore, now would be a good time to buy the dip in dynasty.

All of the Denver Broncos skill players underwhelmed in their Thursday Night Football matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Denver Broncos only scored one touchdown in their game Thursday night against the Las Vegas Raiders. In the second quarter Bo Nix connected with Troy Franklin for a seven yard touchdown.
Nix finished with 150 passing yards and two interceptions as well as the touchdown pass. Rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant led the team with 43 receiving yards on just one reception, JK Dobbins led the way on the ground with 77 rushing yards. Rookie running back RJ Harvey and wide receiver Courtland Sutton both had less than 25 scrimmage yards.
This was a disappointing performance for the Denver offense but Franklin seems to have established himself as their clear cut wide receiver two, Sutton and Dobbins remain quality fantasy assets and the rookies, Bryant and Harvey are still carving out their roles.

Marvin Mims receives an endorsement from a veteran teammate to be the Broncos’ wide receiver two.
Veteran wide receiver Courtland Sutton hands a vote of confidence to third-year wide receiver Marvin Mims to be the wide receiver two for the Denver Broncos and notes that Mims “can make plays anywhere”. Mims was drafted sixty-third overall in the 2023 NFL draft and has been stuck in a part-time role since joining the Broncos. He has demonstrated excellent per-play efficiency, stemming from his ability to gain yards after the catch.
If Mims has secured the wide receiver two role, that means he will remain on the field in two wide receiver sets and will have the opportunity for a breakout this season. In the last pre-season game, he ran 100% of the routes with the first-team offense, echoing the confidence Sutton shares in him. Fantasy managers got a small sample of what Mims is capable of at the end of the season, scoring as the wide receiver four and six, respectively. In those two games, he recorded thirteen catches, one hundred and fifty-four yards and four touchdowns. Mims has an Underdog ADP of 125-130, making him a low-risk, high-reward pick.

The Denver Broncos and Wide Receiver Courtland Sutton agreed to a contract extension.
The Denver Broncos and veteran WR Courtland Sutton have agreed to terms on a four-year $92 million contract extension. Entering the final year of his contract, Sutton reported to camp on time and now has a new deal in place. This deal all but secures Sutton to be part of the Broncos for the rest of his career.
Rookie quarterback Bo Nix relied heavily on Sutton last season as the team surprisingly finished with a 10-7 record and made their first playoff appearance since winning the Super Bowl in 2015. Last season was the best production we have seen from Sutton. He had 81 receptions for 1,081 yards and eight touchdowns. Heading into the 2025 season, Sutton will be counted on once again to be a focal point of the offense and the number one option for Nix. Expectations will be much higher for a Denver team that added RB RJ Harvey and WR Pat Bryant via the draft. A veteran presence on the field, along with head coach Sean Payton, could see the team take another step and be a legitimate contender come the playoffs.
Sutton currently has an ADP of 49 on Underdog. This contract shouldn’t change that, but drafters can have comfort knowing he is staying in a familiar system that saw him score as WR15 in full PPR formats.

Courtland Sutton Contract Update: What His New Deal Means for 2024 Fantasy Football
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton recently restrucured his contract by adding $1.5 million in incentives to his base salary, now totaling $13 million for the season.. In his third year of a four-year, $60.8 million deal, Sutton is looking to build on a strong 2023 season where he led the Broncos with 59 catches, 772 yards, and a career-high 10 touchdowns.
With Jerry Jeudy gone, Sutton is now Denver’s top receiver. But there are some red flags: despite his impressive touchdown count last year, he finished as the WR38 in fantasy points per game. His overall numbers weren’t as strong, and with a new quarterback coming in 2024, Sutton’s fantasy outlook could be uncertain. Sutton is a reliable WR3 or flex option in an offense with a lot of questions marks headed into 2024.
Courtland Sutton skips Broncos voluntary workouts as contract and trade talk heat up.
According to Jeremy Fowler, the Denver Broncos have received multiple trade inquiries for 28 year old veteran wide receiver Courtland Sutton. Despite all these rumors, it is being reported that the Broncos don’t plan on trading Sutton. This is now the second year in a row the Broncos have garnered significant trade interest from the former 1000 yard receiver.
Sutton played 16 games for the Broncos in 2023, having his second best statistical season as a pro, earning 59 receptions for 772 with 10 touchdowns. His 10 touchdowns was a career high and that has brought eyes on Sutton once again this offseason. Sutton is currently sitting out the Broncos voluntary camp in hopes of restructuring his contract. Sutton is only guaranteed $2M in salary this upcoming season and is looking for a pay increase based on his contributions in 2023.
