2026 Fantasy Outlook
Bentley is Sean Payton's latest overaged project at the skill positions, heading to Denver as a seventh-round pick (256th overall) after the latest of breakouts in college. With just three career receptions to his name beforehand, Bentley unexpectedly exploded last year for a 48-620-9 receiving line at Utah... in his age-24 campaign. He actually turned 25 on the day of Utah's bowl game, in which he put up a career-high 106 receiving yards (16.6 percent of his career total). Bentley then helped his draft stock at the 2026 Combine, posting a 4.62 40, 35-inch vertical, 118-inch broad jump and 24 bench-press reps at a sturdy 6-foot-4, 253. There may not be long-term upside, but Payton isn't necessarily wrong about Bentley being able to come in and compete for a role in a wide-open TE room that's been handled via rotation for the past few years.

Signed a four-year deal with the Broncos in May of 2026.
Picked up by Broncos
The Broncos selected Bentley in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 256th overall.
ANALYSIS
Bentley's big numbers from the 2025 season were undermined by the fact that he did next to nothing in any of the prior seasons, and by the time Bentley started producing for Utah he already had a big age advantage over most of the competition, cheapening the value of that otherwise noteworthy receiving production (48 catches for 620 yards and eight touchdowns on 80 targets). Even with quality workout metrics at 6-foot-4, 252 pounds, Bentley will likely begin his NFL career as a practice squad type yet will turn 26 this winter, so he doesn't have much development time on his side.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Unlikely to make 53-man roster
Nick Kosmider of The Athletic believes that Bentley will fail to make Denver's 53-man roster.
ANALYSIS
Bentley's fighting an uphill battle in the competition to make the team out of training camp. Evan Engram, Adam Trautman, Nate Adkins and Lucas Krull all remain in the mix after contributing for the Broncos in 2025, while 2025 seventh-round pick Caleb Lohner could be ready for a larger role after spending his entire rookie season on the practice squad. Rookie fifth-round pick Justin Joly also figures to be ahead of Bentley by virtue of having been drafted two rounds earlier, so Bentley seems likely to follow in Lohner's footsteps as a practice-squad stash for his rookie campaign coming out of Utah.
