Broncos' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Catches two passes in win
Rotowire
Humphrey caught two of five targets for 23 yards in Denver's 20-13 win over Kansas City on Thursday.
Humphrey's five targets were his most in a game since joining the Broncos on Nov. 12. With Pat Bryant (concussion) absent against the Chiefs, Humphrey operated as the Broncos' WR2 in terms of playing time, getting in on 60 percent of the offensive snaps, ahead of both Marvin Mims (47 percent) and Troy Franklin (38 percent). In six games with the Broncos, Humphrey has nine catches for 101 yards and one touchdown on 15 targets.

Broncos' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Quiet showing against Jaguars
Rotowire
Humphrey caught one of two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Jaguars.
Humphrey played just 13 of the Broncos' 66 offensive snaps, the fewest of any Broncos wide receiver Sunday. The veteran wideout has recorded seven catches for 78 yards and a touchdown since re-joining the Broncos in Week 11 against the Chiefs. Humphrey is a talented player, but his inconsistent usage make him very difficult to trust for consistent fantasy production. The 27-year-old should be ignored for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 17 rematch against the Chiefs.

Broncos' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Finds end zone against Packers
Rotowire
Humphrey caught three of four targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers.
Humphrey's trip to the end zone Sunday was his first touchdown of the 2025 campaign. The 27-year-old wideout played 46 of the Broncos' 68 offensive snaps against the Packers, behind just Courtland Sutton (60) and ahead of Troy Franklin (34), Marvin Mims (21) and Michael Bandy (two). Humphrey's jump to a 68 percent snap share coincided with rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant missing the contest with a hamstring injury. The veteran wideout could play a significant role again in Week 16 if Bryant continues to miss time, but the severity of the hamstring issue remains unclear. Nonetheless, Humphrey would be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes in a Week 16 matchup against the Jaguars, as quarterback Bo Nix tends to spread the ball around to several pass catchers each week.

Broncos' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Three grabs in win
Rotowire
Humphrey caught all three of his targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Raiders.
Humphrey played 28 of the Broncos 74 offensive snaps Sunday, behind fellow wide receivers Courtland Sutton (48) and Pat Bryant (35). The 27-year-old was on the field for more offensive snaps than Marvin Mims (20) and Troy Franklin (19). Humphrey's 38 percent snap share was his largest since joining the Broncos this season, yet his elevated usage did not lead to much production. With quarterback Bo Nix spreading the ball around to so many pass catchers, the veteran wideout remains extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes. Next up for Denver is a Week 15 home matchup against the Packers.

Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Re-joining Payton in Denver
Rotowire
Humphrey is signing with the Broncos and may play in Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The Broncos are signing Humphrey away from the Giants' practice squad, figuring he can acclimate quickly after previously playing for Sean Payton in both New Orleans and Denver. Humphrey isn't likely to have much fantasy value, but his presence in a depth role could take a bit of playing time away from the Broncos' other wide receivers.

Giants' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Placed back on practice squad
Rotowire
Humphrey reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday.
Humphrey was elevated each of the past three weeks and played a major role in New York's offense, logging at least 64 percent of the team's offensive snaps each week. However, after producing four catches on eight targets for 55 yards in Week 6, Humphrey didn't make any catches on two targets over his subsequent two games. Still, with Malik Nabers (knee) on injured reserve and the Giants getting very little production from their wideouts outside of Wan'Dale Robinson, there's certainly a chance Humphrey could continue to be called upon on game days. However, he would need to be signed to the active roster for that to happen, since he's already been elevated the maximum three times.

Giants' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Heads back to practice squad
Rotowire
Humphrey reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
In this past Sunday's loss to Denver, Humphrey led New York's wideouts with 74 offensive snaps (out of a possible 77), though he got only two targets and didn't catch either of him. Malik Nabers (knee) is out for the season, so Humphrey could eventually be signed to the active roster to provide every-week receiver depth. His role could be reduced, however, when Darius Slayton (hamstring) is ready to return to action.

Giants' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Reverts to practice squad

Humphrey reverted to the Giants' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.
With Malik Nabers (knee) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) injured, Humphrey started Thursday night against the Eagles and played 77 percent of the offensive snaps, finishing with four catches for 55 yards on eight targets in his first regular-season action of 2025. Humphrey figures to be a regular elevation candidate over the next few weeks after his strong Week 6 performance.

Giants' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Busy after promotion Thursday
Rotowire
Humphrey brought in four of eight targets for 55 yards in the Giants' 34-17 win over the Eagles on Thursday night.
Elevated from the practice squad earlier in the day, Humphrey made very good use of his first taste of regular-season action in 2025. The veteran wideout finished second to Wan'Dale Robinson in receptions and receiving yards on the night for the Giants while surprisingly pacing the team in targets. Humphrey posted a solid 31-293-1 line on 45 targets in a part-time role for the Broncos a year ago, and while Darius Slayton's absence due to a hamstring issue was the biggest factor in Humphrey's elevation against the Eagles, he could be on the active roster for a Week 7 road matchup against his former Denver teammates on Sunday, Oct. 19.

Giants' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Elevated to active roster
Rotowire
Humphrey was elevated to the Giants' active roster ahead of Thursday night's contest against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Humphrey will join the active roster for the first time this season after joining New York's practice squad in the offseason. The 27-year-old will provide the team with an additional depth option at wide receiver with Darius Slayton (hamstring) unavailable for Thursday Night Football.

Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Staying with Big Blue
Rotowire
The Giants signed Humphrey to the practice squad Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Humphrey wasn't able to beat out Gunner Olszewski or undrafted rookie Beaux Collins for a depth wideout spot on the Giants' 53-man roster. Humphrey has elected to stay with the team on the practice squad and is a candidate to be elevated to the active roster should the Giants need extra depth at wide receiver. The seventh-year wideout logged six catches (on nine targets) for 94 yards and a touchdown across the Giants' three preseason games.

Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Dumped by G-Men
Rotowire
The Giants released Humphrey on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Humphrey had a productive preseason, catching six passes for 94 yards and one touchdown on eight targets across 96 offensive snaps. The 27-year-old veteran wideout appeared in all 17 regular-season games for the Broncos last season, making seven starts, and finished with a 31-293-1 receiving line on 45 targets.

Broncos' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Modest production in win
Rotowire
Humphrey caught two of three targets for four yards in Sunday's 29-19 win over the Raiders.
After scoring his first touchdown and recording a season-high 52 yards in Week 11, Humphrey came crashing back down to Earth against the Raiders in Week 12. The veteran played 38 of the Broncos' 68 offensive snaps Sunday, behind fellow wide receivers Courtland Sutton (58) and Devaughn Vele (44). Humphrey's inconsistent nature make him an unreliable option for fantasy purposes. The 26-year-old will look to bounce back in a Week 13 matchup against the Browns on Monday Night Football.

Broncos' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Hits pay dirt in win
Rotowire
Humphrey caught all four of his targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-6 win over the Falcons.
Humphrey's trip to the end zone was his first of the season, while his 52 receiving yards accounted for his highest total of the 2024 campaign. The veteran wideout's playing time, however, dipped in Week 11, earning a 44 percent offensive snap share after playing 59 percent of snaps in Week 10. Though Denver's offense is seemingly finding its way as the season progresses, Humphrey remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes based on his inconsistent usage. Nonetheless, the 26-year-old will look to build upon this performance when the Broncos visit the Raiders in Week 12.

Broncos' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Minimal production in loss
Rotowire
Humphrey caught two of five targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Ravens.
Humphrey played 35 of the Broncos' 72 offensive snaps Sunday, finishing second in wide-receiver snaps behind Courtland Sutton (61). Additionally, the veteran wideout also earned the second-most targets behind Sutton while operating as the team's No. 2 receiver. Humphrey is having an underwhelming 2024 campaign, recording just 21 receptions for 188 yards through nine games. The 26-year-old should not be trusted for fantasy purposes as the Broncos visit the Chiefs in Week 10.

Broncos' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Targeted six times against Panthers
Rotowire
Humphrey secured four of six targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 28-14 win over the Panthers.
Humphrey played the second-most offensive snaps (44) at wide receiver Sunday, behind Courtland Sutton (61) and ahead of Troy Franklin (27), Devaughn Vele (25) and Marvin Mims (21). Operating as the Broncos' No. 2 wideout, the 26-year-old Humphrey was unable to make much noise for fantasy purposes, continuing his underwhelming season. The veteran has failed to find the end zone through eight weeks and remains extremely difficult to trust despite his increased playing time in recent weeks. Humphrey and the Broncos will visit the Ravens in Week 9.

Broncos' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Limited production in Week 7
Rotowire
Humphrey caught two of three targets for 12 yards in Thursday's 33-10 win over the Saints.
Humphrey finished the contest tied for the second-most offensive snaps (33) among wide receivers behind Troy Franklin, yet he was unable to get much going from a fantasy perspective. Quarterback Bo Nix completed just 16 passes for 164 yards against the Saints, and as the rookie continues to find his footing, its reasonable to expect Denver's pass catchers to put up inconsistent performances. Nonetheless, Humphrey and the Broncos head into a Week 8 matchup against a vulnerable Panthers defense, which could lead to more opportunities for Denver's skill-position players.

Humphrey was also called up to the active roster in Week 1, playing 21 snaps on offense and unable to reel in his lone target. With Devaughn Vele (ribs) out of action for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Humphrey may find himself with extra opportunities in the Week 2 matchup.

Humphrey appeared in all 17 regular-season games for Denver last season, but he only secured 13 catches on 19 targets for 162 yards and three touchdowns. However, it was enough to be brought back on a one-year deal. Even though wasn't able to secure a spot on the 53-man roster, he'll now have the opportunity to work his way back there.

Broncos' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Back with Denver on one-year deal
Rotowire
Humphrey is re-signing with the Broncos on a one-year contract, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
Humphrey had 162 receiving yards and three touchdowns with Denver in 2023. He could have an opportunity to climb the depth chart after the Broncos traded Jerry Jeudy to Cleveland on Saturday, though Humphrey has yet to reach 250 receiving yards in a season since debuting with the Saints in 2019.
