2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bryant was a surprise third-round pick this year, going 74th overall to the Broncos after mostly being discussed as a late-round-selection or priority UDFA. He had a big senior season at Illinois, catching 54 passes for 984 yards and 10 TDs, after recording just 1,111 yards and seven TDs over his first three years. Bryant then ran a disappointing 40, clocking 4.62 at the 2025 Combine, where he weighed in at 6-foot-2, 202 pounds. His jumps were decent -- 37.5-inch vertical, 124-inch broad jump -- but he mostly looks like an average or below-average athlete by NFL standards. Bryant didn't spend much time on special teams in college, so the Broncos apparently expect him to contribute on offense, despite the lack of dominant athleticism or production. He may start off as Courtland Sutton's backup, learning the X receiver position in Sean Payton's offense. Read Past Outlooks

Climbs up depth chart
Bryant is one of the main beneficiaries of Denver trading wide receiver Devaughn Vele to New Orleans on Wednesday, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Broncos' willingness to move on from Vele, who tallied 41 catches for 475 receiving yards and three scores as a rookie in 2024 despite playing just 13 regular-season games, seems a clear endorsement of Bryant. The rookie third-round pick impressed with four catches for 70 yards (on five targets) during last Saturday's preseason win over the Cardinals, and he'll have a final chance to impress in exhibition action this Saturday, Aug. 23, versus the Saints. Second-year pro Troy Franklin and veteran journeyman Trent Sherfield could both also be in line for increased opportunities in the wake of Vele's departure.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Relevant Year 1 role on tap?
Bryant, who's been impressing in training camp and preseason, seemingly saw his chances of filling a relevant role as a rookie increase Wednesday with the trade of Devaughn Vele to the Saints, as reported by Jeff Legwold and Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
As a third-round pick who's recorded six catches for 91 yards on seven targets through two preseason games after also impressing in training camp, Bryant's roster spot was safe even before Vele's trade. However, the removal of the talented second-year wideout as an obstacle to playing time certainly can only benefit Bryant, who now slots into the No. 4 spot on the depth chart heading into Denver's final exhibition against Vele's new team, the Saints.
