Broncos’ Lil’Jordan Humphrey Receives Minimal Involvement in Loss to Chargers

In a matchup held on Sunday, October 15, 2024, the Denver Broncos faced a 23-16 defeat against the Los Angeles Chargers. Broncos wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey saw limited action during this game, securing his lone target for a minimal gain of eight yards. His participation accounted for just 35 percent of the offensive snaps, marking a reduction from the 64 percent snap count he achieved in the previous week.

This decrease in on-field involvement appears to have allowed teammates Troy Franklin and Devaughn Vele to shoulder a more significant role in Sunday’s contest. Humphrey’s declining presence comes amidst an inconsistent Broncos passing attack in the early part of the 2024 NFL season. Fantasy analysts suggest exercising caution in expecting reliable outputs from the 26-year-old veteran in the coming weeks.

The Broncos are slated to face the New Orleans Saints in Week 7. This upcoming game will also be notable as it marks the return of former Saints head coach Sean Payton to the Superdome for the first time since he transitioned to his current role as Broncos head coach. Payton, who led the Saints for 15 years, is now in his second year coaching the Broncos and will aim to lead his team to a more promising performance.
