Lil'Jordan Humphrey Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth WR for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished WR128 last season at 3.8 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 1 game he's WR156 at 0.0 PPR points per game, against 3.8 over 9 games last season (WR128). He's running behind last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 105th of 142 in target volume (5.0% target share), 107th of 142 in downfield role (6.2% air-yards share) and 115th of 142 in efficiency (0.95 yards per route run). Efficiency is the soft spot. Bo Nix is his quarterback.
He's WR2 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.
The next favorable matchup is the Cardinals in Week 7 (4th against WRs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 16, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
The profile hasn't budged. Across seven games in 2025, Humphrey logged just 25 targets and a 5% target share, turning them into 13 catches for 156 yards and a score on a thin 0.95 yards per route run. His 0.317 EPA per play and 48% success rate read fine in isolation, but at a 26% route rate they're a sample, not a role. Even his 2024 high-water mark topped out at an 8.2% target share, so the ranking sitting at 130 among wideouts reflects the opportunity, not bad luck.
Denver brought him back for a familiar depth job, and the room ahead of him is crowded enough that he projects as a special-teams body more than a target earner. He's off the draft board in every format, with an ADP near pick 570 and essentially zero rostership. File him as an injury-contingency name only.
What Drives His Outlook
His 2025 rank among the 142 receivers who played at least six games. Each bar is one receiver, best on the left; his is highlighted.
