Broncos' Nate Adkins: Scores three touchdowns in 2024
Rotowire
Adkins finished the 2024 campaign with 14 catches on 15 targets for 115 yards and three touchdowns.
Adkins appeared in all 17 games of the 2024 campaign after playing in just 10 games as a rookie in 2023. The 25-year-old tight end's three trips to the end zone ranked him third in receiving touchdowns for the Broncos, behind wide receivers Courtland Sutton (eight) and Marvin Mims (six) and tied with wideout Devaughn Vele. Adkins did not have a major role in the offense throughout the season, failing to catch more than one pass in all but two games. The South Carolina product remains under contract for the 2025 season before coming a restricted free agent in 2026.

Broncos' Nate Adkins: Hits pay dirt against Indianapolis
Rotowire
Adkins caught his lone target for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Colts.
Adkins' trip to the end zone was his third score of the season, each coming on the tight end's only reception in a contest. Through 14 games, the 25-year-old has failed to record more than one catch in any of his appearances. With that said, Adkins played 29 of 63 offensive snaps against the Colts, ahead of both Adam Trautman (27) and Lucas Krull (24). Due to his inconsistent usage and minimal production, Adkins remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Chargers.

Broncos' Nate Adkins: Healthy scratch for Week 13
Rotowire
Adkins (coach's decision) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans.
The 24-year-old tight end appeared in each of Denver's last two games, but it now seems as if he's fallen down the depth chart. The Broncos elevated Lucas Krull to their active roster Saturday, and with Adkins inactive, Krull will likely serve as the team's No. 3 tight end in Week 13. Adkins has appeared in eight games for Denver this season, catching four of his five targets for 22 yards and primarily playing on special teams.
