Re-ups with Broncos
Denver re-signed Humphrey on Thursday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: Humphrey kicked off the 2025 campaign wearing a Giants uniform, but he was poached off New York's practice squad by the Broncos in advance of a Week 11 game against Kansas City and provided the team with depth at wideout behind Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant and Marvin Mims down the stretch. Now, heading into his age-28 season, Humphrey appears positioned to reprise a similar reserve role.

Underwhelming season in 2025
Humphrey ended the 2025 regular season with 13 receptions on 25 targets for 156 yards and a touchdown across 10 regular-season games.
Analysis: Humphrey began the 2025 campaign with the Giants, recording four receptions for 55 yards over three games. The Broncos signed the veteran wideout away from New York's practice squad ahead of Denver's Week 11 matchup against the Chiefs. He rejoined the Broncos, having spent the previous two seasons in Denver. Humphrey provided depth in a familiar offense behind Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant and Marvin Mims. The 27-year-old will become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, so…read more

Cashes in TD in postseason win
Humphrey brought in two of five targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 33-30 overtime divisional-round win over the Bills on Saturday.
Analysis: The veteran journeyman delivered with a 29-yard scoring grab just before halftime, his first touchdown since Week 15 and only his second since the start of a regular season he opened with the Giants. Humphrey is likely set for another modest complementary role in the upcoming AFC Championship Game matchup against either the Texans or Patriots, but he'll operate with Jarrett Stidham as his quarterback following Bo Nix's postseason-ending ankle fracture Saturday.

Finishes another quiet season
Humphrey ended the 2025 regular season with 13 receptions on 25 targets for 156 yards and a touchdown across 10 games.
Analysis: After beginning the season with the Giants and recording just four grabs for 55 yards over three games, Humphrey was signed away from New York's practice squad by the Broncos ahead of the team's Week 11 matchup against the Chiefs. The veteran wideout was reunited with the Broncos after spending the previous two seasons in Denver. He joined a crowded wide receiver room, providing depth in a familiar offense behind Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant and Marvin Mims. Humphrey will become…read more

Catches two passes in win
Humphrey caught two of five targets for 23 yards in Denver's 20-13 win over Kansas City on Thursday.
Analysis: Humphrey's five targets were his most in a game since joining the Broncos on Nov. 12. With Pat Bryant (concussion) absent against the Chiefs, Humphrey operated as the Broncos' WR2 in terms of playing time, getting in on 60 percent of the offensive snaps, ahead of both Marvin Mims (47 percent) and Troy Franklin (38 percent). In six games with the Broncos, Humphrey has nine catches for 101 yards and one touchdown on 15 targets.

Quiet showing against Jaguars
Humphrey caught one of two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Jaguars.
Analysis: Humphrey played just 13 of the Broncos' 66 offensive snaps, the fewest of any Broncos wide receiver Sunday. The veteran wideout has recorded seven catches for 78 yards and a touchdown since re-joining the Broncos in Week 11 against the Chiefs. Humphrey is a talented player, but his inconsistent usage make him very difficult to trust for consistent fantasy production. The 27-year-old should be ignored for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 17 rematch against the Chiefs.

Finds end zone against Packers
Humphrey caught three of four targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers.
Analysis: Humphrey's trip to the end zone Sunday was his first touchdown of the 2025 campaign. The 27-year-old wideout played 46 of the Broncos' 68 offensive snaps against the Packers, behind just Courtland Sutton (60) and ahead of Troy Franklin (34), Marvin Mims (21) and Michael Bandy (two). Humphrey's jump to a 68 percent snap share coincided with rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant missing the contest with a hamstring injury. The veteran wideout could play a significant role again in Week 16 if Bryant…read more

Three grabs in win
Humphrey caught all three of his targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Humphrey played 28 of the Broncos 74 offensive snaps Sunday, behind fellow wide receivers Courtland Sutton (48) and Pat Bryant (35). The 27-year-old was on the field for more offensive snaps than Marvin Mims (20) and Troy Franklin (19). Humphrey's 38 percent snap share was his largest since joining the Broncos this season, yet his elevated usage did not lead to much production. With quarterback Bo Nix spreading the ball around to so many pass catchers, the veteran wideout remains extremely…read more

Re-joining Payton in Denver
Humphrey is signing with the Broncos and may play in Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The Broncos are signing Humphrey away from the Giants' practice squad, figuring he can acclimate quickly after previously playing for Sean Payton in both New Orleans and Denver. Humphrey isn't likely to have much fantasy value, but his presence in a depth role could take a bit of playing time away from the Broncos' other wide receivers.

Placed back on practice squad
Humphrey reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday.
Analysis: Humphrey was elevated each of the past three weeks and played a major role in New York's offense, logging at least 64 percent of the team's offensive snaps each week. However, after producing four catches on eight targets for 55 yards in Week 6, Humphrey didn't make any catches on two targets over his subsequent two games. Still, with Malik Nabers (knee) on injured reserve and the Giants getting very little production from their wideouts outside of Wan'Dale Robinson, there's certainly a chance…read more

Gets third practice-squad elevation
The Giants elevated Humphrey from their practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus Philadelphia, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Humphrey was also elevated each of the past two weeks and played a major role in the Giants' offense, logging 77 percent of the team's offensive snaps in Week 6 and 95 percent in Week 7. Darius Slayton (hamstring) is returning for Sunday's game after sitting out each of the past two weeks, so Humphrey will likely take on a lesser role, though he could still be the team's No. 3 WR option behind Slayton and Wan'Dale Robinson. Since Humphrey has now been elevated three times, he'd need to be…read more

Heads back to practice squad
Humphrey reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: In this past Sunday's loss to Denver, Humphrey led New York's wideouts with 74 offensive snaps (out of a possible 77), though he got only two targets and didn't catch either of him. Malik Nabers (knee) is out for the season, so Humphrey could eventually be signed to the active roster to provide every-week receiver depth. His role could be reduced, however, when Darius Slayton (hamstring) is ready to return to action.

Elevated from practice squad again
The Giants have elevated Humphrey from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's road matchup against the Broncos, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: New York will be without Darius Slayton (hamstring) for a second consecutive game, while Malik Nabers (knee) is already done for the year, which positions Humphrey to again join Wan'Dale Robinson, Jalin Hyatt, Beaux Collins and Gunner Olszewski in the wide receiver corps. Humphrey was elevated Week 6 against the Eagles due to the same circumstance, a game in which he played 77 percent of offensive snaps and secured four of eight targets for 55 yards.

Humphrey reverted to the Giants' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: With Malik Nabers (knee) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) injured, Humphrey started Thursday night against the Eagles and played 77 percent of the offensive snaps, finishing with four catches for 55 yards on eight targets in his first regular-season action of 2025. Humphrey figures to be a regular elevation candidate over the next few weeks after his strong Week 6 performance.

Busy after promotion Thursday
Humphrey brought in four of eight targets for 55 yards in the Giants' 34-17 win over the Eagles on Thursday night.
Analysis: Elevated from the practice squad earlier in the day, Humphrey made very good use of his first taste of regular-season action in 2025. The veteran wideout finished second to Wan'Dale Robinson in receptions and receiving yards on the night for the Giants while surprisingly pacing the team in targets. Humphrey posted a solid 31-293-1 line on 45 targets in a part-time role for the Broncos a year ago, and while Darius Slayton's absence due to a hamstring issue was the biggest factor in Humphrey's…read more

Analysis: Humphrey will join the active roster for the first time this season after joining New York's practice squad in the offseason. The 27-year-old will provide the team with an additional depth option at wide receiver with Darius Slayton (hamstring) unavailable for Thursday Night Football.

Staying with Big Blue
The Giants signed Humphrey to the practice squad Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Humphrey wasn't able to beat out Gunner Olszewski or undrafted rookie Beaux Collins for a depth wideout spot on the Giants' 53-man roster. Humphrey has elected to stay with the team on the practice squad and is a candidate to be elevated to the active roster should the Giants need extra depth at wide receiver. The seventh-year wideout logged six catches (on nine targets) for 94 yards and a touchdown across the Giants' three preseason games.

Analysis: Humphrey had a productive preseason, catching six passes for 94 yards and one touchdown on eight targets across 96 offensive snaps.

Back with Big Blue
The Giants re-signed Humphrey on Monday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: The Texas product was dropped by the Giants just three days ago, but it now appears the team has decided to bring him back to New York. Humphrey appeared in all 17 of the Broncos' regular-season contests in 2024, catching 31 of his 45 targets for 293 yards and one touchdown. With the Giants' limited depth at wide receiver, Humphrey likely will have the opportunity to compete for a reserve role on offense this summer.

Let go by G-Men
The Giants released Humphrey on Friday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: This move comes as a bit of a surprise, as Humphrey looked to have a legitimate chance of serving as wideout depth for New York after signing with the organization March 21. The veteran wideout tallied a career-high 31 catches and 293 receiving yards over 17 regular-season games with Denver last year, adding one receiving touchdown. The Giants recently signed five receivers as undrafted free agents and needed to clear roster space, precipitating Humphrey's release.

Finds new team
The Giants signed Humphrey on Friday.
Analysis: Humphrey is coming off a 2024 regular season in which he recorded a career-high 31 receptions on 45 targets for 293 yards and a touchdown in 17 games with the Broncos. At 6-foot-4, 225 pounds, the 26-year-old will add size and experience to a Giants wideout corps that also includes Malik Nabers, Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton and Jalin Hyatt. However, in his new locale, Humphrey could see a dip in volume in 2025.

Analysis: Humphrey recorded career highs in catches, targets and yards during the 2024 campaign while appearing in all 17 games for the second straight season. With that said, the veteran wideout was not a major part of the Broncos' offensive plans this season, operating in a depth role behind Courtland Sutton, Devaughn Vele, Marvin Mims and Troy Franklin.

Modest production in win
Humphrey caught two of three targets for four yards in Sunday's 29-19 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: After scoring his first touchdown and recording a season-high 52 yards in Week 11, Humphrey came crashing back down to Earth against the Raiders in Week 12. The veteran played 38 of the Broncos' 68 offensive snaps Sunday, behind fellow wide receivers Courtland Sutton (58) and Devaughn Vele (44). Humphrey's inconsistent nature make him an unreliable option for fantasy purposes. The 26-year-old will look to bounce back in a Week 13 matchup against the Browns on Monday Night Football.

Analysis: Humphrey's trip to the end zone was his first of the season, while his 52 receiving yards accounted for his highest total of the 2024 campaign. The veteran wideout's playing time, however, dipped in Week 11, earning a 44 percent offensive snap share after playing 59 percent of snaps in Week 10.

Two grabs in Week 10
Humphrey secured two of three targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Humphrey played a solid 59 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps Sunday, but Denver's No. 3 receiver was unable to get much going against Kansas City. The 26-year-old has failed to record more than 50 receiving yards in all but one game so far this season, making him an extremely unreliable option for fantasy purposes. Humphrey should remain off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Falcons.

Analysis: Humphrey played 35 of the Broncos' 72 offensive snaps Sunday, finishing second in wide-receiver snaps behind Courtland Sutton (61). Additionally, the veteran wideout also earned the second-most targets behind Sutton while operating as the team's No. 2 receiver. Humphrey is having an underwhelming 2024 campaign, recording just 21 receptions for 188 yards through nine games.

Quarterback Bo Nix completed just 16 passes for 164 yards against the Saints, and as the rookie continues to find his footing, its reasonable to expect Denver's pass catchers to put up inconsistent performances.

Rookie quarterback Bo Nix and Denver's passing attack took a step forward Sunday, as the signal caller was able to spread the ball around to 11 different pass catchers in the contest.

Humphrey brought in six of eight targets for 37 yards in the Broncos' 26-7 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: Humphrey finished right behind Courtland Sutton for the team lead in receptions while also qualifying as a distant second to his teammate in receiving yards and as the runner-up in targets. Humphrey, who is well versed in head coach Sean Payton's offense from their time together in New Orleans, has quickly built chemistry with rookie quarterback Bo Nix, as the sixth-year pro now sports a 10-87 line on 13 targets over the last two games heading into a Week 4 road matchup against the Jets.

Humphrey signed a contract with the Broncos on Saturday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
Analysis: Humphrey was out of practice-squad elevations, so this move isn't entirely surprising.

It's unlikely those same opportunities will be available in Week 3 as Devaughn Vele is cleared to play after missing the previous week due to a ribs injury.

Plays more than Mims again
Humphrey logged 38 of the Broncos' 67 snaps on offense and hauled in his lone target for a 12-yard reception in Sunday's 24-7 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: For the second week in a row, Humphrey worked as the Broncos' No. 3 receiver ahead of rookie Marvin Mims, taking on a 57 percent snap share to Mims' 37 percent. Though his playing time appears to be on the rise, Humphrey is typically little more than a tertiary option in the passing game while he often shares the field with Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy and Javonte Williams. Humphrey has drawn exactly one target in five straight contests.

With the rookie Mims beginning to carve out a larger role and with head coach Sean Payton continuing to show a proclivity for two-tight end sets, Humphrey doesn't look as though he'll be able to reclaim significant snaps anytime soon.

Analysis: It didn't take long for the Broncos to bring Humphrey back, as the 25-year-old was let go Friday after the team claimed Keondre Coburn off waivers. Humphrey has bounced back and forth between Denver's practice squad and active roster this season. He's appeared in all six of the Broncos' games thus far, recording four receptions for 26 yards and one touchdown.

Analysis: Humphrey will rejoin Denver's active roster where he spent time earlier this season before being released and signed to the practice squad last week.

Gets released by Denver
The Broncos released Humphrey on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Since playing a 71 percent of the snaps on offense in the Broncos' Week 1 loss to the Raiders, Humphrey has seen his playing time steadily decline. He's logged snap shares ranging from 12 to 31 percent over the Broncos' subsequent four contests, garnering just three targets during that stretch. His release leaves Denver with just four wideouts on the 53-man roster.

Catches one pass in loss
Humphrey caught one of his two targets for four yards in Sunday's 35-33 loss to the Commanders.
Analysis: Humphrey saw a major dip in his snap share percentage Sunday, taking the field for 32 percent of the Broncos offensive plays after reaching a 71 percent snap share in Week 1. The veteran wideout's drop in usage was expected with the return of Jerry Jeudy into the lineup. With that said, Humphrey still worked ahead of Marvin Mims, but it was the rookie who made the most of his opportunities with 113 receiving yards, including a 60-yard touchdown grab.

Analysis: Despite being second among the Patriots wideouts in terms of snaps Week 3, Humphrey didn't record a catch (on one target) in the contest. For now, the 6-foot-4, 225-pounder is off the fantasy radar, though his versatility (Humphrey saw TE reps in training camp) and blocking ability could keep earning him a share of playing time in the weeks ahead.

Two catches in win
Humphrey caught both his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 18-10 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: The Saints' passing tree was very narrow in this one, as only Marquez Callaway and Alvin Kamara saw more targets or had more production than Humphrey. It was a disappointing performance for the 23-year-old after he set a career high with 70 yards last week, but he'll get one more chance in the regular season to make a splash as New Orleans faces Atlanta in Week 18 with a possible wild-card berth on the line.

Humphrey caught three of five targets for 70 yards during Monday's 20-3 loss to Miami.
Analysis: The majority of Humphrey's production came on a 56-yard bomb in the closing minutes of garbage time. Otherwise, he didn't do much, just like every other New Orleans pass catcher that had to make due with rookie quarterback Ian Book, who struggled mightily in his first NFL start. None of them, Humphrey included, will be advisable fantasy options if Book remains under center in Week 17 against Carolina.

Analysis: Humphrey missed last week's win over the Jets after a Thursday addition to the injury report, but he could make it back this Sunday after logging limited practices Thursday and Friday. Even if that happens, he'll only be the No. 3 receiver in an unimpressive passing offense, and with some risk of a game-time decision ahead of the 8:20 ET kickoff Sunday night.

Gets involved in passing game
Humphrey caught one of two targets for 27 yards during Sunday's 26-7 loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: Humphrey wasn't in the starting lineup this time around, but he jumped from 29 percent of the offensive snaps Week 1 to 55 percent Sunday, despite the Saints needing a pass-heavy approach most of the game. While this jump in playing time resulted in a couple of targets for him after he didn't see any in the season opener, the 6-foot-4 receiver likely will continue to see his biggest offensive contributions come as a blocker.

No targets in Week 1
Humphrey logged 18 offensive snaps but was not targeted with a pass during Sunday's 38-3 win over Green Bay.
Analysis: The 6-foot-4 receiver drew the start opposite Marquez Callaway, but he ultimately logged just 29 percent of the offensive snaps compared to 84 for Callaway and 44 for Deonte Harris. Moreover, Humphrey largely focuses on blocking tasks when he does see the field, so it's hard to get excited about his fantasy potential even if he is a starter in the absence of Michael Thomas (ankle) and Tre'Quan Smith (hamstring). Next up for the Saints is a Week 2 road game in Carolina.

Humphrey caught four passes for 74 yards and one touchdown during Monday's 23-21 preseason victory over Jacksonville.
Analysis: The 6-foot-4 Humphrey found the end zone for a second straight exhibition game, this time on a back-shoulder pass from Taysom Hill. While the Saints have a number of candidates to help fill the void at receiver while Michael Thomas (ankle) and Tre'Quan Smith (undisclosed) work their way back from injury, Humphrey is making a strong case to be near the top of the rotation. Other candidates for snaps behind Marquez Callaway and Deonte Harris include Ty Montgomery, Chris Hogan and Kawaan Baker.

Analysis: The Saints have a number of candidates to see expanded roles in Thomas' absence, starting with Tre'Quan Smith, Marquez Callaway, Deonte Harris and Kawaan Baker. However, at 6-foot-4 and 225 pounds, Humphrey certainly is a bigger asset as a blocker in the run game than many of them.

Analysis: Humphrey finished third among Saints' wide receivers with 45 snaps on offense (54 percent) in Sunday's wild-card win over the Bears, although he was held to just one 14-yard reception on his lone target. The Saints put a lot of trust in Humphrey for a playoff game, so he stands a good chance to be elevated from the practice squad for the NFC divisional-round game against the Buccaneers on Sunday.

The Saints elevated Humphrey from the practice squad Saturday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Although Michael Thomas (ankle) is back from IR, Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) is still unavailable, so Humphrey will add depth at wide receiver in Sunday's wild-card game against the Bears. The 22-year-old will be one of seven healthy wideouts for the Saints. Through three games this season, Humphrey has caught three passes for 48 yards and a touchdown.

Goes back to practice squad
Humphrey reverted to the Saints' practice squad Saturday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Analysis: Humphrey was called up for a second straight week because both Michael Thomas (ankle) and Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) are on injured reserve. The 22-year-old wide receiver scored his first career touchdown last week, but he was blanked by the Vikings in Friday's 52-33 win. With Thomas and Smith both out Week 17 as well, Humphrey could be back on the active roster for the season finale against Carolina.

Rejoins New Orleans for Week 16
The Saints elevated Humphrey from their practice squad Thursday, Larry Holder of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: After Michael Thomas (ankle) was moved to injured reserve and Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) exited early in last week's loss to the Chiefs, Humphrey ended up finishing the contest as the team's No. 3 receiver behind Emmanuel Sanders and Juwan Johnson. Humphrey was able to make an impact while playing 49 percent of the offensive snaps, hauling in two of four targets for 29 yards and a touchdown.

Gets TD, reverts to practice squad
Humphrey reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Analysis: Humphrey enjoyed an eventful Week 15, fielding 27 of 55 offensive snaps while reeling in two of four targets for 29 yards against Kansas City. The Texas standout's 17-yard touchdown catch with 2:06 remaining in regulation helped pull New Orleans to within three points, but the Chiefs would subsequently ice the game by way of a seven-play, 34-yard drive.

First NFL touchdown
Humphrey corralled two of four targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 32-29 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
Analysis: Activated to the active roster Saturday, Humphrey got his first taste of 2020 NFL action and immediately made an impact. The second-year man drew only one target as a rookie and finished his inaugural campaign without a catch. He lassoed his first receptions as a pro and his first touchdown in the process. Humphrey could stay involved to finish out the regular season with Michael Thomas (ankle) on injured reserve.

Bumps to active roster
The Saints elevated Humphrey to the active roster Saturday, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Humphrey hasn't yet appeared in a game for the Saints this season, but it looks like he could get some work against the Chiefs on Sunday. With Michael Thomas (ankle) on IR, Drew Brees could have to lean on his depth receivers a bit more than usual.

Humphrey was waived by the Saints on Saturday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Catchless in rookie campaign
Humphrey concluded the regular season with no receptions on one target across five games.
Analysis: After going undrafted out of Texas last spring, Humphrey signed with the Saints and took part in training camp and the preseason before getting waived prior to Week 1.
