Lutz connected on both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Steelers. Lutz has now made all five of his field-goal tries through two games. Though his accuracy is a positive sign, the Broncos' continued struggles on offense cap the veteran kicker's potential with the lack of opportunities in scoring range. Nonetheless, Lutz will look to continue his perfect streak in Week 3 when the Broncos visit the Buccaneers.

Lutz connected on both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Steelers. Lutz has now made all five of his field-goal tries through two games. Though his accuracy is a positive sign, the Broncos' continued struggles on offense cap the veteran kicker's potential with the lack of opportunities in scoring range. Nonetheless, Lutz will look to continue his perfect streak in Week 3 when the Broncos visit the Buccaneers.
Frankin failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Steelers. After being a healthy scratch in Week 1, Franklin was a complete non-factor against the Steelers in Week 2. The rookie wideout saw the field for 12 of the Broncos' 61 offensive snaps, and he was unable to connect with his former college quarterback Bo Nix on the one target thrown his direction. Buried on the depth chart in a struggling passing attack, Franklin should remain far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 3 matchup with the Buccaneers.
Mims secured one of his two targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Steelers. Mims had another quiet game in Week 2, playing just nine of the Broncos' 61 offensive snaps against the Steelers. It appears the second-year wideout's involvement in the Denver's offense is not a priority for head coach Sean Payton, even though the Broncos are desperate for offensive playmaking. Mims is a speedster that can stretch the field, but rookie quarterback Bo Nix is struggling to push the ball down the field in his first two regular season starts. The 22-year-old will continue to be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes when the Broncos visit the Buccaneers in Week 3.
McLaughlin rushed three times for six yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Steelers. After leading Denver's running backs in touches in Week 1, McLaughlin took a backseat to teammate Javonte Williams against the Steelers. The second-year back played just 17 of the Broncos' offensive snaps in the contest, well behind Williams who was on the field for 40 snaps. McLaughlin also failed to see a target in the passing game, though he saw a healthy five targets in Week 1. With that said, the 24-year-old has an explosive skill set, yet he has been unable to produce efficiently in Denver's struggling offense as the second option out of the backfield. Next up for for McLaughlin and the Broncos is a road matchup with the Buccaneers in Week 3.
Humphrey reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Like he was before the Broncos' season-opening loss at Seattle, Humphrey was elevated prior to the team's Week 2 game, but he played a far bigger role. His snap share increased from 30 to 77 percent, and he hauled in four of five targets for 50 yards as a result. The increased workload for Humphrey may have been spurred by the absence of rookie WR Devaughn Vele (ribs), but in any case the former seems poised to be a regular in three-wide sets along with Courtland Sutton and Josh Reynolds for as long as Vele is sidelined.
McGlinchey sustained a significant MCL sprain during Sunday's loss to the Steelers and is expected to miss about a month, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Garafolo also reported that evaluations are ongoing and McGlinchey's recovery timeline could be flexible, but he'll be sidelined for the immediate future regardless. With McGlinchey expected to miss roughly one month, expect Frank Crum or Matt Peart to assume the Broncos' top right tackle duties.
Dulcich recorded three receptions on eight targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Steelers. Dulcich joined Javonte Williams as Bo Nix's favorite target in the short areas of the field and led Denver in targets. However, he didn't capitalize on the opportunity, as he neither hauled in a high percentage of his looks nor had any significant gains. Dulcich could continue to get opportunity as no other tight end was targeted in Sunday's game, though his ability to turn that into relevant production is questionable.
Reynolds recorded four receptions on five targets for 93 yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Steelers. Reynolds led the Broncos in yards thanks to a few long receptions late in the game. He accounted for the longest play from scrimmage for either team on a trick play in the third quarter that went for 49 yards and later added a 22-yard gain in the fourth quarter -- the latter of which set up one of the team's two field goals. Reynolds has shown some rapport with Bo Nix early in the season, as he's been targeted 13 times and racked up nine receptions for 138 yards across two contests.
