2025 Fantasy Outlook
Krull failed to stand out in Denver’s unimpressive tight end room last season, securing 19 of 23 targets for 152 yards. He had only eight catches in the preceding campaign, during which Krull also scored his lone NFL touchdown to date. Offseason addition Evan Engram is expected to get the majority of pass catching opportunities at the position for the Broncos, and Adam Trautman will likely continue to work ahead of Krull due to Trautman’s dependable blocking, so the 27-year-old Krull doesn’t have a clear path to fantasy relevance in 2025.

Could return Sunday
Krull (foot) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Krull has been on Denver's injured reserve list since breaking his foot during practice back in October, but it looks like there's a solid chance he will suit up for the AFC Championship versus the Patriots. With that said, there probably won't be a clear path to a significant snap share for Krull as long as Evan Engram, Adam Trautman and Nate Adkins all remain available.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Krull didn’t have an NFL catch until Week 14 of last season, but he showed some promising pass catching ability down the stretch, turning 12 targets into eight catches for 95 yards and a touchdown over the final five games of 2023. While Greg Dulcich has the most upside among Denver’s tight ends, Dulcich has played just 12 games in two seasons and has already dealt with three separate hamstring injuries. Adam Trautman is returning after leading Denver’s tight ends in snaps last season, but he’s more valuable as a blocker than a pass catcher. There’s a path to an increased role for Krull in his age-26 season, especially if Dulcich gets hurt again, but keep in mind that Krull has just eight career catches.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could get more opportunities
Krull could see additional opportunities in the coming weeks, as Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post reports that Evan Engram injured his calf in Week 1 against the Titans.
ANALYSIS
If Engram misses any games, Krull and Adam Trautman would be in line for more snaps. Trautman is the more reliable blocker, but Krull may have some untapped potential as a pass catcher in a Denver offense without a clear second option in the passing game behind Courtland Sutton.
