DaeSean Hamilton

DaeSean Hamilton went down on the field early Tuesday morning, and trainers are now examining his right knee.

Fantasy Impact

The 27-year-old wideout played in 46 games for the Broncos before missing the entire 2021 season due to an ACL tear. Earlier this spring, he signed with the Texans and will be competing with a crowded WR corps if this injury is minor. Fantasy managers should wait to draft him due to knee injury concerns.

Aaron Wilson reports that Houston is working out DaeSean Hamilton today.

Fantasy Impact

Hamilton has played in 46 NFL games, tallying 81 receptions for 833 yards and five touchdowns. He was drafted in the fourth round by Denver in 2018 but was officially released earlier this week.

The Broncos officially released WR DaeSean Hamilton Tuesday, according to Adam Schefter. ESPN's Senior NFL Insider added, "Hamilton was set to be traded to [San Fransico] before his injury in 2021 and the former fourth-round pick is expected to draw interest."

Fantasy Impact

In 2020, the WR totaled 23 receptions on 44 targets for 293 yards and two touchdowns. A former fourth-round pick out of Penn State, Hamilton's landing spot determines his potential fantasy football relevance. He's shown promise in the past but hasn't been able to put it together for a full season, as he averaged a lowly six fantasy points per game his last healthy season.

Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network is reporting that the Broncos are waiving WR DaeSean Hamilton.

Fantasy Impact

The Broncos reportedly had trade talks involving Hamilton. Denver was unable to finalize a deal and ultimately decided to waive him, saving $2.8 million in cap space. Hamilton was the odd man out in a loaded Broncos receiving group. The 26-year-old will most likely be claimed by another NFL team within the next few days. He caught 23-of-44 passes for 293 yards and two touchdowns across 16 games in 2020. Hamilton is 189th among all wideouts in the latest expert consensus rankings and is mainly a stash in dynasty leagues formats.

The Broncos have been receiving inquiries about DaeSean Hamilton, according to Mike Garafolo, and he will be moved "for the right price."

Fantasy Impact

Hamilton is the fifth receiver for the Broncos - behind Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy, K.J. Hamler, and Tim Patrick - and is on the last year of his deal, so a potential trade is best for both parties. Hamilton totaled the highest yards per reception last season, according to Garafolo, totaling 23 receptions on 44 targets (12.74 YPR) for 293 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He totaled a 27.2% slot rate, as well. A change of scenery may make the receiver fantasy-relevant next season.
