Reynolds

The deal surprisingly includes $2.75 million guaranteed, which suggests a player who was cut by the Broncos in December and Jaguars earlier this month has strong 53-man roster odds. Now on the wrong side of 30, Reynolds does offer plenty of experience as a boundary role player. The Jets are evidently comfortable penciling him into one of their 5-6 receiver spots in what is a really undermanned group behind Garrett Wilson. It goes without saying that Reynolds won’t come into fantasy relevance as a down-ballot player in a limited offense.

Now on the wrong side of 30, Reynolds had two decent years in Detroit from 2022-23 but couldn’t get established with either the Broncos or Jaguars last season. His size and experience will likely keep him in the league another year or two, but it’s obviously a bad sign he’s longer automatically sticking on 53-man rosters.

That didn’t take long. Reynolds was released by the Broncos on Tuesday. The field-stretching wide receiver helps replace Gabe Davis (meniscus), who is out for the year. Reynolds is unlikely to be fantasy-relevant with Mac Jones under center, now that Trevor Lawrence (shoulder/concussion) is on injured reserve though.

The Broncos had to either activate Reynolds off IR or end his season, so instead they let him go free. Reynolds’ two-year contract makes it unlikely he’ll be claimed off waivers. The 29-year-old will be free to sign with whoever he wants if he makes it off waivers. His short-lived Broncos career ends with a 12/183/1 line in five games.

The club downgraded him to out hours before game time. Reynolds only has until Wednesday to be activated before his 21-day window closes. The wideout hasn’t played since Week 5. The Marvin Mims and Devaughn Vele show will roll on unimpeded for the Broncos should the club not activate Reynolds.

Reynolds managed a week of full practices but drew a questionable tag as he still must be activated from injured reserve. Reynolds has not played since Week 5 following surgery on his finger in addition to being the victim of a shooting, attempting to return to an offense suddenly humming through quarterback Bo Nix.

Reynolds was a full participant in multiple practices this week but remains on injured reserve for Week 12. He appears to be on track to be activated ahead of Week 13. Devaughn Vele will cling to WR5 fantasy value until he returns.

Reynolds has been on injured reserve since getting surgery on his finger six weeks ago. He was also the victim of a shooting shortly after, but sustained only minor injuries from the incident. The Broncos opened Reynolds’ practice window last week and he starts this week out as a full participant. It is possible Reynolds will be activated off injured reserve for Week 12 against the Raiders, but he will be on the fringe of fantasy relevance when playing.

Reynolds is currently on injured reserve while recovering from finger surgery. The Broncos opened his practice window this week, but the veteran wideout will miss at least one more game. Devaughn Vele remains the only interesting Broncos receiver outside of Courtland Sutton, and even he is barely clocking in as a WR5.

Reynolds was placed on injured reserve after undergoing minor surgery on his finger five weeks ago. He was also the victim of a shooting shortly after being placed on injured reserve. Thankfully, the incident only left him with minor injuries. His return will make a jumbled Denver receiver room even more messy aside from Courtland Sutton.
