2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hamler joined the Bills on a reserve/future contract in January after spending three years with the Broncos. Injuries and health concerns were an issue for the receiver. After playing 13 games as a rookie, Hamler played in 10 of 34 possible games the past two seasons. In 2020, Hamler caught 30 passes for 381 yards and three touchdowns with five receptions of over 20 yards. The receiver was showing the ability to win downfield when he began his career. It will be difficult for Hamler to crack the top-four on the Buffalo wide receiver depth chart. That said, if the veteran is able to get on the field with some regularity, Josh Allen certainly has the ability to unlock Hamler’s downfield ability. Read Past Outlooks
Sticking around via practice squad
Hamler agreed to re-sign Wednesday with the Bills as a member of the practice squad, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Hamler spent the offseason competing for a depth role in Buffalo's wide receiver room, and though he didn't make the team's initial 53-man roster, he will get a chance to continue his development via the practice squad. As a player also capable of contributing at running back and on special teams, Hamler's versatility will give him opportunities for elevation to the active roster during the regular season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2020
Hamler enters the 2023 campaign with a litany of health concerns that have plagued the start of his career. The 23-year-old missed most of the 2021 season due to an ACL tear, and the issues continued in 2022 when he dealt with a hamstring injury that ended his season early. Additionally, Hamler underwent surgery this offseason to repair a partially torn pectoral. That said, the speedster has elite field-stretching ability when healthy. The Broncos offense could take a step forward under new head coach Sean Payton, and Hamler could make an impact if he can stay on the field as the fourth option at receiver. The addition of rookie Marvin Mims, however, could eat into Hamler's already limited workload.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could return to Denver
Hamler was waived by the Broncos on Monday with a non-football illness designation, but he could return to the team later in the year, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Denver suffered a serious blow to its wideout depth Monday, as Tim Patrick also suffered what's feared to be a season-ending Achilles injury, so the team needed roster spots to bring in reinforcements. Hamler was already on the active/non-football injury list in training camp as he completed his recovery from March pectoral surgery, but a pericarditis diagnosis has now complicated the timeline for his return. The fourth-year receiver is still expected to be sidelined for only weeks and not months, however, and waiving him now gives the Broncos the option of re-signing him once he's healthy.
