The Denver Broncos have activated wide receiver K.J. Hamler (ACL, hip) off of the PUP list.
Hamler dislocated his hip and suffered a torn ACL on the same play back in Week 3 of the 2021 NFL season, but appears to be on track for Week 1 of the 2022 season. While he will have to compete for targets alongside Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy, and Tim Patrick (not to mention the Broncos' tight ends), Hamler's strength as a field stretcher would seem to mesh well with new quarterback Russell Wilson's top-notch deep-passing abilities on paper.
Hamler enters the season as numberFire's WR136 for fantasy this season, but he could shine as a potential late-round dart throw in season-long leagues, especially if the Broncos' offense lives up to expectations.
