K.J. Hamler's Role Expanding
4 years agoDenver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler is coming off his best performance as a professional, posting career-highs in catches (six), targets (10) and yards (75) in the loss to the Falcons. Hamler scored his first career touchdown of the game-winning variety in Week 8 and has taken over the slot role in Denver's offense. It has led to increased usage in recent weeks, although the 21-year-old from Penn State isn't quite a serious consideration for starting fantasy lineups in the flex spot just yet. He'll be facing a tough matchup in the slot against Raiders cornerback Lamarcus Joyner this Sunday, so don't expect him to put up the numbers he did last week. But Hamler is an intriguing stash in deeper leagues and has plenty of long-term upside for those that are currently stashing him in dynasty setups.
