   Bryant recorded two receptions for 44 yards and a touchdown on two targets in Sunday's 30-26 win over the Rams. He also scored on a two-point conversion.

   Bryant reached the end zone for the first time this season with 7:44 left in the third quarter, connecting with quarterback Bo Nix on a five-yard catch. The second-year wideout has seen his snap share gradually climb through the first three weeks, topping out at 70 percent in Week 3. The Broncos have been without Marvin Mims (foot) for the past two games, however, so Bryant could see a slight downturn in playing time once the Denver receiving corps is at full strength.

   Bryant failed to catch his only target while adding a 16-yard rush during Sunday's 20-13 win over the Jaguars.

   Bryant was unable to leave his mark on the contest, but his 41 offensive snaps ranked second only to Courtland Sutton (45) at wide receiver, out-snapping Jaylen Waddle (38) and more importantly Troy Franklin (13) with Marvin Mims (foot) sidelined. Bryant's playing time hasn't directly correlated to major production through two weeks, but he has separated himself as the team's No. 3 option at wide receiver.

   Bryant caught four of six targets for 42 yards in Monday night's 31-10 loss to Kansas City.

   Bryant was on the field for 30 of the team's 51 offensive snaps, trailing only Courtland Sutton and Jaylen Waddle at wide receiver. The 23-year-old led the team in targets in the loss, and he'll look to build on this performance against Jacksonville in Week 2.

   Adam Schefter's fantasy football cheat sheet: Value picks and sleepers to target

   Each year, we at ESPN Fantasy endeavor to help with your fantasy football draft prep, including sleepers lists and cheat sheets. Below, you will get the best of both worlds, as ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter offers up his personal list of early-, middle- and late-rounds targets in 2026 fantasy drafts. Below are some players who are poised to be fantasy standouts this season. Obviously, they aren't the only ones with a chance to excel, but this is a distinguishing part: These are some of the players who have a real chance to outperform their current average draft position (ADP). If given a choice at certain junctures in the draft, or in tiebreaker situations, these are players who will receive strong consideration. In this space last season, one of the recommended middle-rounds values was wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and some of the later-rounds values included quarterbacks Drake Maye and Trevor Lawrence, wide receiver Emeka Egbuka, and running back Quinshon Judkins. I am in one 12-team league, in which some of these players will not need to be drafted, and one 16-team league, in which some of them might be more valuable. But again, these players hold strong value relative to their ESPN ADPs and are in a position to have productive seasons. I hope this list is helpful. Good luck this season. NOTE: For the purposes of this column, the round ranges listed are based on ADP relative to 10-team leagues: "early" refers to Rounds 1-4, "middle" to Rounds 5-11 and "later" to Rounds 12 or higher. Quarterback There's nothing wrong with drafting a quarterback such as Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson early. But there is so much depth at the position this year that there can be strong values found in the middle-to-late rounds. This is why you'll see no QBs listed as early-rounds targets below. Middle rounds Bo Nix, Broncos (ADP: 86.3): Nix's ability to rack up fantasy points with his legs as much as his arm is underappreciated. Caleb Williams, Bears (ADP: 92.2): His talent was on full display last season and, after a year in Ben Johnson's offense, he should be even more improved. Justin Herbert, Chargers (ADP: 106.0): Matched with Mike McDaniel as his offensive coordinator, Herbert could be in line for his best NFL season. Later rounds Tyler Shough, Saints (ADP: 155.4): He flashed as a rookie last season and is expected to make continued growth in Year 2. Jordan Love, Packers (ADP: 158.0): Team officials are confident he's set up to take the next step this season. Daniel Jones, Colts (ADP: 158.2): Jones was one of the best fantasy QBs last season until he was injured — and now he looks to be healthy. Running back A case can be made to draft Bijan Robinson or Jahmyr Gibbs with the No. 1 pick in fantasy football this season. There is talent sprinkled across the position, including some intriguing late-rounds picks. Early rounds Jahmyr Gibbs, Lions (ADP: 1.4): He might be the most dangerous offensive threat in the NFL, one with 38 touchdowns in the past two seasons. Bijan Robinson, Falcons (ADP: 2.5): Robinson and Gibbs will — and should — be going 1-2 in almost every fantasy football draft. Chase Brown, Bengals (ADP: 21.9): He is the lead back and a multipurpose threat in one of the highest-scoring offenses in the NFL. Kenneth Walker III, Chiefs (ADP: 22.3): He has never finished higher than RB18 in a fantasy season, but he seems set to shatter that mark in 2026. Omarion Hampton, Chargers (ADP: 25.3): When healthy last season, he was highly productive. If he's healthy this season, he will be again. Middle rounds Bhayshul Tuten, Jaguars (ADP: 71.8): The Jaguars loved him coming out of college, and that hasn't changed heading into his second season. Rhamondre Stevenson, Patriots (ADP: 83.1): Always overlooked, always productive. Later rounds Kenny Gainwell, Buccaneers (ADP: 116.5): Bucs have raved about the different skills he brings to the offense. Blake Corum, Rams (ADP: 135.1): He will share work with Kyren Williams … and be drafted many

   Bryant is slotted in as a top reserve option on the Broncos' unofficial depth chart.

   Bryant reeled in 31 of 49 targets for 378 yards and a touchdown over 15 regular-season contests in his rookie campaign with Denver in 2025. The 23-year-old possesses a 6-foot-2, 200-plus pound frame, and he's on track to operate as the immediate backup behind Courtland Sutton as a boundary receiver with Denver this season. Bryant has already impressed with his physicality at his position, and he could earn more opportunities in his first campaign with new play caller Davis Webb.
