Krull caught all three of his targets for 21 yards in Thursday's 34-27 loss to the Chargers.
Krull finished the contest tied in playing time with Adam Trautman, as both tight ends finished the game with 28 offensive snaps. The 26-year-old Krull, however, was the more relied upon pass catcher, seeing three targets while Trautman was targeted just once. With that said, none of Denver's tight ends had a big game, including Nate Adkins, who caught two passes for just 18 yards. Krull remains extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes while stuck in a timeshare. The Pittsburgh product's next opportunity to take a step forward comes when the Broncos visit the Bengals in Week 17.

Broncos' Lucas Krull: Three grabs against Cleveland
Rotowire
Krull caught all three of his targets for 24 yards in Monday's 41-32 win over the Browns.
Krull paced all Denver tight ends in targets, receptions and yards Monday, though he played fewer offensive snaps (22) then both Adam Trautman (37) and Nate Adkins (26). The 26-year-old's involvement in the passing game, though minimal, was an improvement over his last two weeks in which he failed to earn a single target on 38 snaps in that span. Nonetheless, Krull is not seeing enough usage to garner any attention for fantasy purposes. The Broncos will host the Colts on Dec. 15 when they return from their Week 14 bye.

Broncos' Lucas Krull: Questionable to return
Rotowire
Krull (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
The tight end caught his only target for three yards before exiting. Krull recorded six catches for 57 yards and no scores in three previous games this season. The Broncos do not have another active tight end Sunday beyond starter Adam Trautman.

Broncos' Lucas Krull: Three grabs in win
Rotowire
Krull caught three of four targets for 41 yards in Thursday's 33-10 win over the Saints.
Krull played 29 of the Bronco's 65 offensive snaps Thursday, while fellow tight end Adam Trautman played 40 snaps. This comes a week after Krull's playing time nearly doubled that of Trautman against the Chargers in Week 6. Despite the flip in playing time, the 26-year-old Krull was the more effective of the two tight ends, as Trautman was unable to record a single catch on three targets. Meanwhile, Krull's three catches and 41 yards were both season highs for the Pittsburgh product. The 6-foot-6, 260-pounder has continued to push for a more prominent role in Denver's passing attack, and he'll have his next opportunity to do just that when the Broncos host the Panthers in Week 8.

Broncos' Lucas Krull: Four targets in loss
Rotowire
Krull caught two of his four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Chargers.
In his second game of the 2024 campaign, Krull appeared to take over the lead role at tight end for the Broncos, playing 33 of Denver's 55 offensive snaps, ahead of fellow tight ends Adam Trautman (17) and Nate Adkins (15). The 26-year-old Krull's four targets were the most any Broncos tight end has recorded since Greg Dulcich's eight-target game in Week 2 against the Steelers. It's possible that Krull could take over the top spot on the depth chart in Denver, but that role has not come with much production so far in 2024. The 6-foot-6, 260-pounder will look to build upon this performance when the Broncos visit the Saints in Week 7.

Broncos' Lucas Krull: One grab in debut
Rotowire
Krull secured his lone target for five yards in Sunday's 34-18 win over the Raiders.
Krull made his season debut Sunday after being a healthy inactive for the first four weeks of the 2024 campaign. The 26-year-old tight end played just 18 of the Broncos' 63 offensive snaps in the contest, behind both Adam Trautman (34) and Nate Adkins (32). Krull's involvement, though limited, coincided with the fact that teammate Greg Dulcich was inactive against the Raiders. It's possible his role as a pass catcher could increase throughout the season with Dulcich struggling to cement himself as a the top option in passing situations as many expected. Until then, Krull should not be trusted for fantasy purposes. The Broncos are set to host the Chargers in Week 6.

Krull is active for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
After being a healthy inactive for the first four weeks, Krull is set to make his season debut. He caught eight of 14 targets for 95 yards and a touchdown last season and could see an increased role in Week 5 due to Greg Dulcich (coach's decision) being inactive.

Broncos' Lucas Krull: Plays seven games in 2023
Rotowire
Krull finished the 2023 season with eight catches on 14 targets for 95 yards and a touchdown.
Krull appeared in just seven contests in his first season with the Broncos after spending much of the 2023 campaign on Denver's practice squad. The 25-year-old tight end started his NFL career in New Orleans, appearing in just one game with the Saints. Krull's touchdown in Week 16 of this season was the first of his career while he played a depth role with Greg Dulcich (foot) on injured reserve at the end of the season. The 6-foot-6, 260-pounder is under contract with the Broncos through the 2024 season, so he'll head into the offseason competing to play a larger role in the Denver's offense.

Broncos' Lucas Krull: Added to active roster
Rotowire
The Broncos signed Krull to their 53-man roster Saturday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Krull had already been elevated to the practice squad three times this season, so it was necessary for Denver to sign him to the active roster in order for him to suit up Saturday. He caught the first pass of his NFL career last week against the Chargers, gaining 35 yards on the play. Krull's spot on the team has arrived with Greg Dulcich (hamstring) on injured reserve, though Dulcich has been designated to return and could be back as soon as next week.

He played 19 snaps -- 17 on offense, two on special teams -- and caught his only target for 35 yards. If the Broncos want to utilize Krull again they'll have to sign him to the active roster, as he's reached the maximum amount of elevations from the practice squad.

Lucas Krull: Waived by New Orleans
Rotowire
The Saints waived Krull on Tuesday.
Krull appeared in one game for the Saints last year but didn't see a target across nine offensive snaps. The Pittsburgh product led the Saints in receiving yards during the preseason finale, tallying seven catches on 15 targets for 106 yards, so he's presumably a candidate to rejoin New Orleans on a practice-squad deal if he clears waivers.
