News

  • Faces threat from fellow Buckeye

    The Broncos' signing of Nick Vannett could place Heuerman's roster spot in jeopardy, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

    Analysis: Heuerman had a nice game or two as an underneath receiver for the Broncos in 2019, but he's never quite lived up to the expectations coming out of Ohio State in 2015. It now seems his TE2 role will be taken by Vannett, who was drafted by Seattle out of OSU in 2016. Vannett is mostly known as a blocker, but he put together some nice receiving performances in 2018. With Noah Fant leading the way and cheap, promising youngsters like Andrew Beck and Austin Fort at the bottom of the roster, it would…read more

  • Ends season with 14 catches

    Heuerman caught 14 of 20 targets for 114 yards and a touchdown during the 2019 season.

    Analysis: Heuerman, not surprisingly, saw a drop-off in production with the rise of rookie first-round pick Noah Fant. Heuerman's 114 receiving yards were a career low despite him tying a career high with 14 games played. The Ohio State product had a couple of nice outings as a short, underneath target -- Week 2 against the Bears and Week 13 against the Chargers come to mind -- but his production was capped thanks to just one reception of 12 or more yards all season and one target inside the 10-yard…read more

  • Snags two passes in win

    Heuerman caught both of his targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 27-17 win over Detroit.

    Analysis: Heuerman caught multiple passes for just the second time since Week 3. The veteran tight end has had slightly more production with Drew Lock under center (1.5 catches for nine yards per game) than he did with Denver's other passers (one catch for 8.7 yards per game), but even the improved stats don't inspire much excitement. Heuerman ends the season against an Oakland defense that held him catchless in Week 1.

  • Targetless in loss

    Heuerman was not targeted during Sunday's 23-3 loss in Kansas City.

    Analysis: Despite not being targeted, Heuerman saw the field on 24 offensive snaps -- 41% of Denver's total. It's hard to read too much into Sunday's game given the Broncos' recent history against the Chiefs and the wintery conditions. Expect for him to return to his role as a decent underneath target and occasional red-zone option for rookie passer Drew Lock over the final two weeks.

  • Scores first touchdown of 2019

    Heuerman caught his only target, an eight-yard touchdown, during Sunday's 38-24 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Heuerman extended Denver's hot start to three scores early in the second quarter, rolling out into the flat for a catch-and-run touchdown. It's still early, but rookie passer Drew Lock has been good for Heuerman, who led the team in targets in Lock's debut Week 13. The Broncos are also mixing it up and getting more creative on offense with Lock, with all four of the tight ends recording at least 15 offensive snaps Sunday, and Heuerman led the way with 30. He could see more Sunday against Kansas…read more

  • Ties for team lead in targets

    Heuerman caught three of five targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: It's predictable for a tight end to serve as his rookie quarterback's security blanket, but many fans predicted it'd be Noah Fant helping out Drew Lock in his first start. Instead it was Heuerman tying Courtland Sutton for the team lead with five targets despite playing on just 28 of 57 offensive snaps, 13 fewer than Fant. All three of Heuerman's catches converted a third down. Converting third-and-twos isn't the path to fantasy glory, but Lock's reliance on him is worth noting, especially…read more

  • Sees 16 snaps in return

    Heuerman was not targeted during Sunday's 20-3 loss in Buffalo.

    Analysis: Sunday was Heuerman's first game in nearly a month as he battled through a knee injury. Even accounting for that three-game absence, Heuerman has been extremely quiet this season with just two catches since Week 3. Noah Fant's emergence and the team's use of two-back sets further limits the veteran's role. Next up is a matchup against a Chargers defense that has limited yards, mostly because they've been dinked-and-dunked on all season. Heuerman probably would be satisfied if he comes away with…read more

  • Making return against Buffalo

    Heuerman (knee) is active Week 12 against Buffalo.

    Analysis: Heuerman is set to see his first action since Week 8 and will presumably serve as the secondary option to starting tight end Noah Fant. Troy Fumagalli may also be in the mix after catching his first career touchdown last week against Minnesota, though it's likely he takes a step back with Heuerman on the active roster. Heuerman had just 11 total targets in eight games to begin the season, but it's unclear what his role might be following the switch to a new quarterback in Brandon Allen.

  • Questionable for Week 12

    Heuerman (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Heuerman logged a trio of limited practices this week. The fifth-year tight end last suited up for game action Week 8 against the Colts. If Heuerman manages to retake the field against Buffalo on Sunday, he'll fill in as the No. 2 tight end behind Noah Fant for Denver.

  • Status remains uncertain

    Heuerman (knee) will likely be questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Coach Vic Fangio said Heuerman's truly "50-50." His practice status will likely be closely monitored during the practice week, but the fifth-year tight end isn't fantasy owners' concern with just eight receptions for 78 yards this year. If he's unable to go, Troy Fumagalli will fill in as the No. 2 option behind Noah Fant again.

  • Officially out Sunday

    Heuerman (knee) won't suit up in Sunday's road contest against Minnesota, Ben Swanson of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Heuerman came into the contest with a doubtful tag due to the knee issue, so this news isn't quite surprising. It will be the Ohio State product's second straight missed game, and in his stead, Troy Fumagalli will be the team's No. 2 tight end for Week 11.

  • Officially listed as doubtful

    Heuerman (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's tilt against the Vikings, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Heuerman appears to be trending toward missing a second straight game due to a lingering knee issue. If he's indeed unable to suit up in Minnesota on Sunday, expect Troy Fumagalli to serve as Denver's No. 2 tight end behind Noah Fant.

  • Status for Week 11 uncertain

    Coach Vic Fangio said Thursday that Heuerman (knee) has a "50-50 or less" chance of suiting up against the Vikings on Sunday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Fangio also evaluated Heuerman as being "just so-so" in Wednesday's practice, during which he was a limited participant. With rookie first-round pick Noah Fant fully healthy and coming off a career performance, the Broncos may not feel pressured to rush Heuerman back to action until he's back to full health. Troy Fumagalli would step up as the team's No. 2 tight end if Heuerman were forced to miss any more time.

  • Works as limited participant

    Heuerman (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Heuerman sat out Week 9 but appears to be in better shape coming out of Denver's bye week. The 26-year-old has primarily served as a blocker this season and should return to that role if he can play Week 11 versus Minnesota.

  • Ruled out this week

    Heuerman has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: With just eight catches (on 11 targets) for 78 yards in eight games to date, Heuerman is off the fantasy radar. His absence, however, could free up some extra snaps for rookie tight end Noah Fant, who saw a season-high nine targets in Week 8.

  • Misses another practice

    Heuerman (knee) will not practice Thursday, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

    Analysis: Heuerman is nursing a knee issue sustained during Sunday's loss to the Colts, and he'll now miss a second consecutive practice. It appears as though Heuerman is trending towards sitting out Week 9 versus the Browns, in which case Noah Fant would likely be in line for a slight uptick in snaps.

  • Sits out practice

    Heuerman (knee) was listed as a non-participant for Wednesday's practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Heuerman was forced to exit Sunday's game against the Colts, and was spotted using crutches following the clash. This news certinly doesn't bode well for his chances to suit up in Week 9, as he'll likely need to log at least a limited practice to play Sunday. If he can't suit up, rookie Noah Fant is in line to take over the lion-share of snaps at tight end.

  • Dealing with knee issue

    Heuerman (knee) is slated to undergo an MRI on Monday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.

    Analysis: Per the report, Heuerman was using crutches after Sunday's loss to the Colts, which suggests that he could miss some time. If that's the case, Noah Fant figures to see a few more looks in the Denver passing offense for any length of time Heuerman misses.

  • Exits game with knee injury

    Heuerman was forced out of Sunday's game against the Colts with a knee injury, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Prior to his exit, Heuerman caught his only target for 11 yards. The tight end headed into Week 8 action with a total of seven catches for 67 yards, so he's off the fantasy radar, but if Heuerman ends up missing time, Noah Fant could see a few more looks in the Denver passing offense going forward.

  • Targetless in win

    Heuerman lined up on 32 of Denver's 62 offensive snaps during Sunday's 16-0 win over Tennessee, but did not garner a target.

    Analysis: Heuerman has consistently played at least half of Denver's offensive snaps, but he has not been much of a factor as a receiver with just one catch in his last three games. Denver has played relatively conservatively on offense as of late, pounding the ball and playing great defense. That keeps the experienced Heuerman on the field as a blocker, but doesn't necessarily translate to fantasy value. He might have a shot to fill the stat sheet a little more Thursday against a vulnerable Chiefs…read more

  • Snags pass in win

    Heuerman caught one of three targets 26 yards during Sunday's 20-13 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Heuerman wasted no time getting involved Sunday, cutting upfield for a 26-yard play on the game's first play from scrimmage. The Buckeye has maintained solid offensive snap counts and ended Sunday with 37 offensive snaps, five more than WR3 DaeSean Hamilton, but his presence on the field seems to be to the benefit of the running game more than anything else. A whopping 43.5 percent of Denver's targets have gone to Courtland Sutton or Emmanuel Sanders this season, which hasn't left Heuerman much…read more

  • Targetless in loss

    Heuerman was not targeted during Denver's 26-24 loss to Jacksonville.

    Analysis: The veteran tight end still managed to see just over half of Denver's offensive snaps (29), but it wasn't enough to get involved in a game in which the Broncos scored quickly early and then were deprived of the ball for much of the second half. Even when Heuerman is getting the ball, he's working mostly underneath with just 41 yards on six catches this season. He should not be on your radar.

  • Snags two passes

    Heuerman caught both of his targets for 20 total yards during Sunday's 27-16 loss in Green Bay.

    Analysis: The Broncos got creative with Heuerman in the first quarter, running a little play-fake rollout only to throw a quick crosser to Heuerman for a 10-yard gain. Overall, the veteran tight end saw the field for just under half of Denver's offensive possessions, but the production still wasn't particularly newsworthy. With six catches, but just 41 yards, over the past two weeks, Heuerman shouldn't be in consideration for fantasy purposes.

  • Snags four passes

    Heuerman caught four of five passes for 21 yards during Sunday's 16-14 loss to Chicago.

    Analysis: Heuerman trailed rookie Noah Fant in snaps again this week, this time 54-38, but still managed to see the field on about half of Denver's offensive plays. He was involved early, catching three of his passes during the game's first two drives. He remains a solid underneath option for Joe Flacco in an offense that likes to throw it to the backs and tight ends, but is unlikely to put up the kind of numbers warranting fantasy consideration.

  • Eased back in during opener

    Heuerman was not targeted during Monday's 24-16 loss in Oakland.

    Analysis: After dealing with a shoulder injury for much of training camp, Heuerman played only 21 snaps on offense Monday, 31 fewer than rookie Noah Fant. Fant had an uneven debut, and it wouldn't be surprising for the dependable veteran to get more snaps as he rounds into form in the coming weeks. Expect snaps to be divided a little more evenly in the coming weeks, though the advantage in snaps and targets should still reside with the rookie first-round pick.

    Heuerman (shoulder) is not listed on Thursday's injury report, Zac Stevens of BSNDenver.com reports.

    Heuerman (shoulder) participated in Tuesday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Heuerman has yet to suit up for preseason action due to a lingering shoulder injury, though he appears to be progressing in his recovery. The 2015 third-round pick's status for Thursday's final exhibition match against the Cardinals is murky at best, with the Broncos likely prioritizing his Week 1 availability.

    Heuerman (shoulder) isn't practicing Thursday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: Heuerman returned to practice last week but was held out of Monday's preseason win over the 49ers. He now appears questionable, at best, for Saturday's exhibition matchup with the Rams. Fellow tight end Noah Fant (ankle) also is absent, leaving Troy Fumagalli and Jake Butt with a nice chance to get some snaps with the starters.

  • Unlikely to play Monday

    Heuerman isn't expected to play in Monday's preseason game against the 49ers, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: Since playing nine offensive snaps without a target in the Hall of Fame Game, Heuerman has missed some practices with a shoulder injury and the Broncos' two subsequent exhibitions. He'll have two more opportunities to suit up before the regular season, when he'll be attempting to fend off rookie Noah Fant and holdovers Troy Fumagalli and Jake Butt at tight end.

  • Tops depth chart

    Heuerman is listed as Denver's top tight end on the team's first official depth chart.

    Analysis: The Broncos have drafted three tight ends since taking Heuerman in the third round of the 2015 draft, including a huge splash move by drafting Noah Fant 20th overall in April. Still, after signing a modest extension in March, Heuerman has continued to have a hold of the starting job. The former Buckeye may just be keeping the Hawkeye's seat warm before Fant takes off in the near future, but in an offense that made George Kittle a star last season, Heuerman could have surprising 2019 campaign.

  • Could lose starting job to Fant

    Heuerman is facing serious competition for snaps after the Broncos selected tight end Noah Fant with the 20th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, Julia Maguire of FOX 21 News reports.

    Analysis: Signed to a two-year, $8 million contract earlier this offseason, Heuerman was looking at minimal competition prior to Thursday night. His experience and solid blocking will give the 26-year-old a decent chance to retain the starting job at tight end, but the uber-athletic Fant is far more intriguing in the fantasy football universe. Heuerman was limited to a 31-282-2 receiving line in 11 games (10 starts) last season before three broken ribs and a bruised lung forced him to injured reserve in…read more

    Heuerman is signing a two-year, $9 million contract to stay with the Broncos, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: Heuerman missed the final five weeks of 2018 after he suffered a bruised lung and three broken ribs, closing out the season with a 31-281-2 receiving line on 48 targets in 11 games (10 starts). He's never shown much upside as a pass catcher, but the 2015 third-round pick nonetheless profiles as the top option on a weak depth chart at tight end.

  • Ends season on injured reserve

    Heuerman ended 2018 with 31 catches, 281 yards and two touchdowns off of 48 targets.

    Analysis: The Broncos have been waiting since 2015 to see what they have in Heuerman, and just as he seemed to be finding a rhythm, he was lost for the season with injuries to his ribs and lungs. Heading into 2018, it looked like he and Jake Butt would both feature heavily in the offense. After Butt (ACL) was lost for the season early on, Heuerman became the main option and put together some quality performances, including a career-best 10 receptions in Week 9 against Houston. 2018 was easily the former…read more

    Heuerman (ribs/lung) was placed on injured reserve by the Broncos on Tuesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Heuerman was diagnosed with three broken ribs and a bruised lung Monday, so this news comes as no surprise. In 11 games this season, Heuerman showed big moments in the passing game and caught 31 of 48 targets for 281 yards and two touchdowns. With the Ohio State product headed to IR, Matt LaCosse, Brian Parker and newly promoted Temarrick Hemingway will handle duties at tight end for the Broncos going forward this season.

He had a couple big moments in the passing game and earned a solid reputation as a blocker, but his so-so marks of 9.1 yards per catch and 5.9 per target could make it difficult to land a large contract this upcoming offseason.

  • Likely done for season

    Heuerman is expected to miss the rest of the season while recovering from broken ribs and a bruised lung, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: Initially reported as a back injury, Heuerman's issue turned out to be far more serious. If Heuerman ends up being shut down for good, he'll finish the season with 31 catches for 281 yards and two touchdowns on 48 targets, highlighted by a 10-reception outing in a Week 9 loss to the Texans. The Broncos are left with Matt LaCosse as their top pass-catching tight end, while Brian Parker will ascend to the No. 2 role and likely handle some of Heuerman's blocking duties.

  • Exits with back injury

    Heuerman left Sunday's game against Pittsburgh with a back injury, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Heuerman was deemed questionable to return in the fourth quarter, exiting the game with two catches for 44 yards on three targets. An absence for Week 13 against the Bengals would push Matt LaCosse into a bigger role after he put up a 3-34-1 receiving line (on four targets) in Sunday's 24-17 win over Pittsburgh.

  • Snags four passes

    Heuerman caught four of five targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 23-22 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: It was a steep step off of Heuerman's career day against the Texans, but he's still tallied 21 targets over his past three games, just three fewer than the first seven games of the season combined. Without many established targets outside of Emmanuel Sanders and rookie Courtland Sutton, expect the targets to keep coming. Like all of Denver's pass catchers, Heuerman's value is hampered by Denver's tendency to pound the ball in the red zone, but -- of the mere three touchdown passes Denver has…read more

  • Enjoys career day in loss

    Heuerman hauled in 10 of 11 targets, racking up 83 receiving yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: The third-year man out of Ohio State destroyed previous career bests in catches and yards (previous highs were four receptions and 57 yards), while accounting for his fourth career touchdown in a backbreaking loss to Houston on Sunday. When the Broncos pick up following a bye week Nov. 18 against the Chargers, it will be against a defense that ranks among the league's best units against tight ends, with 5.4 receptions surrendered per game to the position.
