Krull caught all three of his targets for 21 yards in Thursday's 34-27 loss to the Chargers. Krull finished the contest tied in playing time with Adam Trautman, as both tight ends finished the game with 28 offensive snaps. The 26-year-old Krull, however, was the more relied upon pass catcher, seeing three targets while Trautman was targeted just once. With that said, none of Denver's tight ends had a big game, including Nate Adkins, who caught two passes for just 18 yards. Krull remains extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes while stuck in a timeshare. The Pittsburgh product's next opportunity to take a step forward comes when the Broncos visit the Bengals in Week 17.

Krull caught all three of his targets for 21 yards in Thursday's 34-27 loss to the Chargers. Krull finished the contest tied in playing time with Adam Trautman, as both tight ends finished the game with 28 offensive snaps. The 26-year-old Krull, however, was the more relied upon pass catcher, seeing three targets while Trautman was targeted just once. With that said, none of Denver's tight ends had a big game, including Nate Adkins, who caught two passes for just 18 yards. Krull remains extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes while stuck in a timeshare. The Pittsburgh product's next opportunity to take a step forward comes when the Broncos visit the Bengals in Week 17.
Krull caught all three of his targets for 24 yards in Monday's 41-32 win over the Browns. Krull paced all Denver tight ends in targets, receptions and yards Monday, though he played fewer offensive snaps (22) then both Adam Trautman (37) and Nate Adkins (26). The 26-year-old's involvement in the passing game, though minimal, was an improvement over his last two weeks in which he failed to earn a single target on 38 snaps in that span. Nonetheless, Krull is not seeing enough usage to garner any attention for fantasy purposes. The Broncos will host the Colts on Dec. 15 when they return from their Week 14 bye.
Krull (shoulder) returned to the field Sunday versus the Panthers, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports. Krull briefly left the game with a shoulder injury, but he has since returned. To this point, the tight end has caught both of his targets for 18 yards against Carolina.
Krull (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports. The tight end caught his only target for three yards before exiting. Krull recorded six catches for 57 yards and no scores in three previous games this season. The Broncos do not have another active tight end Sunday beyond starter Adam Trautman.
Krull caught three of four targets for 41 yards in Thursday's 33-10 win over the Saints. Krull played 29 of the Bronco's 65 offensive snaps Thursday, while fellow tight end Adam Trautman played 40 snaps. This comes a week after Krull's playing time nearly doubled that of Trautman against the Chargers in Week 6. Despite the flip in playing time, the 26-year-old Krull was the more effective of the two tight ends, as Trautman was unable to record a single catch on three targets. Meanwhile, Krull's three catches and 41 yards were both season highs for the Pittsburgh product. The 6-foot-6, 260-pounder has continued to push for a more prominent role in Denver's passing attack, and he'll have his next opportunity to do just that when the Broncos host the Panthers in Week 8.
Krull caught two of his four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Chargers. In his second game of the 2024 campaign, Krull appeared to take over the lead role at tight end for the Broncos, playing 33 of Denver's 55 offensive snaps, ahead of fellow tight ends Adam Trautman (17) and Nate Adkins (15). The 26-year-old Krull's four targets were the most any Broncos tight end has recorded since Greg Dulcich's eight-target game in Week 2 against the Steelers. It's possible that Krull could take over the top spot on the depth chart in Denver, but that role has not come with much production so far in 2024. The 6-foot-6, 260-pounder will look to build upon this performance when the Broncos visit the Saints in Week 7.
Krull secured his lone target for five yards in Sunday's 34-18 win over the Raiders. Krull made his season debut Sunday after being a healthy inactive for the first four weeks of the 2024 campaign. The 26-year-old tight end played just 18 of the Broncos' 63 offensive snaps in the contest, behind both Adam Trautman (34) and Nate Adkins (32). Krull's involvement, though limited, coincided with the fact that teammate Greg Dulcich was inactive against the Raiders. It's possible his role as a pass catcher could increase throughout the season with Dulcich struggling to cement himself as a the top option in passing situations as many expected. Until then, Krull should not be trusted for fantasy purposes. The Broncos are set to host the Chargers in Week 6.
Krull is active for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports. After being a healthy inactive for the first four weeks, Krull is set to make his season debut. He caught eight of 14 targets for 95 yards and a touchdown last season and could see an increased role in Week 5 due to Greg Dulcich (coach's decision) being inactive.
Krull (coach's decision) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay. Krull is going to have to wait at least one more week before he makes his first appearance of the 2024 season. The Broncos will have to lean heavily on Greg Dulcich and Adam Trautman for snaps at tight end in Week 3.
