Outlook Pat Bryant

Pat Bryant Activated from Injured Reserve Ahead of Road Clash in Carolina

Denver activated Bryant from injured reserve this weekend after a four-game absence due to an ankle sprain. While he is listed as the primary slot receiver on the depth chart alongside Courtland Sutton and Jaylen Waddle, the Broncos will likely ease the second-year receiver back into action rather than deploying him in an every-down role.

Rostered in roughly 2% of leagues, Bryant carries minimal standalone value this week. Our projections anticipate a modest re-entry with about one reception for 22 yards (4.2 fantasy points). In a matchup where Denver enters as a road favorite riding a four-game win streak, fantasy managers should keep him on the bench until his offensive snap share ramps back up.

Outlook Eli Raridon

Eli Raridon vs. Green Bay — Sneaky Opportunity as Target Competition Thins

Raridon enters Sunday healthy as New England's backup tight end, but his path to playing time could expand significantly with starter Hunter Henry questionable due to a foot injury and top receiver A.J. Brown ruled out. The rookie has steadily earned looks over recent weeks, commanding eight targets over his past two contests and demonstrating real red-zone capability with two touchdowns already this season.

Our models project Raridon for roughly 1.8 catches and 23 yards (6.0 fantasy points) in a matchup where New England is favored at home. Rostered in just 6% of leagues, the rookie is primarily a stash candidate in typical formats, though fantasy managers in deep leagues could consider him a speculative streamer if Henry sits.
