Top Diontae Spencer News

  • Diontae Spencer: Gets look from Pittsburgh

    The Steelers hosted Spencer (undisclosed) for a workout Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Spencer last saw NFL regular-season action in 2021 with the Broncos, during which he caught one pass (on four targets) for minus-three yards across 15 games. The 32-year-old will look to catch on with the Steelers to provide depth at wide receiver.

  • Diontae Spencer: Let go by New York

    Spencer (undisclosed) was released by the Jets from injured reserve with an injury settlement Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Spencer was placed on injured reserve last week, which would have meant he would have to miss the entire 2023 season. Now that he's been let go with an injury settlement, Spencer has a chance to crack a roster spot elsewhere when fully healthy.

  • Jets' Diontae Spencer: Lands on IR

    The Jets placed Spencer on injured reserve Wednesday due to an undisclosed injury, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Spencer will now have to miss the entire 2023 campaign unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Jets. The undrafted receiver out of McNeese State bounced on and off the Jets' practice squad last season and primarily operated as a return man during his first three NFL seasons in Denver.

  • Jets' Diontae Spencer: Inks future deal

    The Jets signed Spencer to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.

    Spencer bounced on and off the Jets' practice squad all year, but he was never elevated to the active roster. With his new contract, the fourth-year return man will stick with New York and have a chance to compete for a larger role next season.

  • Diontae Spencer: Back once again

    Spencer signed with the Jets' practice squad Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.

    Spencer has been cut and then re-signed to the Jets' practice squad multiple times this season, but he has still not appeared in a game this year. The 30-year-old will continue to work to earn an opportunity to be elevated before the season ends.

  • Diontae Spencer: Let go Tuesday

    Spencer was cut from the Jets' practice squad Tuesday.

    Spencer has now been cut from the team's practice squad for the third time this season, so a return is certainly possible. The 30-year-old had a regular role with the Broncos each of the last three seasons as a return man, but he's failed to find a role with the Jets. If the Jets don't come back calling, Spencer will look to earn an opportunity elsewhere.

  • Diontae Spencer: Joins Jets' practice squad

    Spencer signed with the Jets' practice squad Tuesday.

    This will be Spencer's third time joining New York's practice squad this season. Throughout his past three seasons in the league, Spencer has been with the Broncos, where he recorded a mere 10 receptions for 54 yards.

  • Diontae Spencer: Let go by Jets

    Spencer was cut from the Jets' practice squad Wednesday.

    For the second time in two weeks, Spencer was cut loose from New York's practice squad. The 30-year-old wideout spent his last three NFL seasons with the Broncos, where he collected just 10 receptions for 54 yards in that span.

  • Diontae Spencer: Joins practice squad

    Spencer signed with the Jets' practice squad Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.

    Spencer originally joined the Jets' practice squad Sept. 6 and then was cut Wednesday. He'll now get a second chance with the team. The 30-year-old spent the last three seasons with the Broncos, where he was primarily used as a return man while remaining near the bottom of the team's wide receiver depth chart.

  • Diontae Spencer: Cut by Jets

    Spencer was released from the Jets' practice squad Wednesday.

    Spencer was let go by the Jets just one week after joining the team's practice squad. The 30-year-old wideout recorded ten receptions for 54 yards while playing primarily on special teams (365 of his 552 total snaps) over the past three seasons with the Broncos. Spencer will now likely look to work his way up from the practice squad with a new team in need of wide receiver depth at some point this season.

  • Diontae Spencer: Joins Jets' practice squad

    The Jets signed Spencer to their practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Spencer previously signed with the Rams' and Steelers' practice squads, but it wasn't until 2019 where he made his NFL debut for the Broncos. Over the last three seasons, the 5-foot-8 receiver suited up for 42 games, catching just 10 passes for 54 yards in that span. Spencer is now a candidate for a promotion to the Jets' active roster should the team's WR corps miss time.

  • Diontae Spencer: Won't be tendered

    The Broncos won't tender Spencer, who will become a free agent when the new league year starts March 16, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Spencer had two good years as the Broncos' primary returner, but he struggled in that role last season. He garnered a minimal role on offense during his three seasons in Denver, registering just 10 catches for 54 yards.

  • Broncos' Diontae Spencer: Records one catch in 2021

    Spencer finished the 2021 season with one catch for minus-3 yards.

    Spencer played in all but two games this season, but he was a non-factor for the Broncos' offense. The 29-year-old played on just six percent of the team's offensive snaps in 2021, finding it difficult to see the field behind the team's top trio of Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick at wide receiver. Spencer did most of his damage as Denver's leading returner, totaling 17 kickoff returns for 291 yards and 26 punt returns for 206 yards. The wideout will enter the 2022 offseason as a restricted free agent and will be free to negotiate with any teams interested in signing him. The Broncos, however, can match a contract offer if they wish to keep him with the team. Denver's receiving corps is a talented and crowded group, so it will be interesting to see if the Broncos keep Spencer around in 2022. If not, Spencer may look to sign with another team in an effort to push for more playing time on offense.

  • Broncos' Diontae Spencer: Inactive Saturday

    Spencer is listed as inactive for Saturday's regular-season finale against the Chiefs due to a coach's decision, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official website reports.

    With six other healthy wide receivers available, Spencer will be the odd man out Saturday. Thus, his 2020 campaign will officially come to an end.

  • Broncos' Diontae Spencer: Plays three snaps Week 17

    Spencer failed to record a single target while playing just three snaps on offense in Sunday's 34-13 loss to the Chargers.

    With both Jerry Jeudy (illness) and Tim Patrick (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list for Week 17, Spencer entered Sunday's contest as a candidate to see an increased workload. That ultimately didn't come to fruition, however, as the Broncos tapped Kendall Hinton (34 snaps) and Seth Williams (41 snaps) to serve as the primary replacements for Jeudy and Patrick. Denver has since reinstated both Jeudy and Patrick from the list, so Spencer's playing time will continue to come primarily on special teams during the season finale versus the Chiefs.

  • Broncos' Diontae Spencer: Starting role likely awaits

    Spencer could have a regular role in three-receiver sets Sunday against the Chargers with Jerry Jeudy (illness) and Tim Patrick (illness) not available after landing on the reserve/COVID-19 list and with Courtland Sutton (illness) listed as questionable for the contest, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Head coach Vic Fangio said that Sutton could still wind up on the list after sitting out Friday's practice with an illness, potentially leaving Denver without its top three receivers. Spencer and Kendall Hinton were left as the only fully healthy wideouts on the 53-man roster Friday before Travis Fulgham and Seth Williams were elevated from the practice squad as COVID-19 replacements for Jeudy and Patrick. With that in mind, Spencer and Hinton are presumably first in line to fill the vacated snaps at receiver, though neither has a resume at the NFL level that makes either a must-start fantasy option. Backup quarterback Drew Lock will also be directing the offense for a second straight game while Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) is out, which could result in the low-tempo Denver offense becoming even more run-heavy.

  • Broncos' Diontae Spencer: Held catchless in loss

    Spencer failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Steelers.

    Spencer played on just two of the Broncos' 60 offensive snaps Sunday. In a game where Denver trailed Pittsburgh for most of the contest, Spencer's lack of usage was somewhat surprising. The 29-year-old wideout currently is the No. 4 wide receiver on the Broncos' depth chart after KJ Hamler suffered a season-ending torn ACL and while Jerry Jeudy remains sidelined with an ankle injury. With the latter making his return to the field in the near future, Spencer should be ignored for fantasy purposes.

  • Broncos' Diontae Spencer: Ready to face Steelers

    Spencer (chest) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.

    Spencer entered Sunday with a questionable tag due to a chest injury. He exited the team's Week 4 contest early with the injury, but he was able to return to log two limited practices to close the week. Spencer should serve as the Broncos' primary return man, paired with a very limited offensive role.

  • Broncos' Diontae Spencer: Questionable for Week 5

    Spencer (chest) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Spencer practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, but he'll enter Friday's matchup with an injury designation after he exited last week's loss to the Ravens. Kendall Hinton and David Moore will likely see additional work if the 29-year-old is unavailable against Pittsburgh.
