Lucas Krull

26-Year-Old Tight EndTE
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. Read Past Outlooks

Makes three grabs in loss
TEDenver Broncos
December 20, 2024
Krull caught all three of his targets for 21 yards in Thursday's 34-27 loss to the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
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.
