Lil'Jordan Humphrey - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Cashes in TD in postseason win Humphrey brought in two of five targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 33-30 overtime divisional-round win over the Bills on Saturday.

Impact The veteran journeyman delivered with a 29-yard scoring grab just before halftime, his first touchdown since Week 15 and only his second since the start of a regular season that he opened with the Giants. Humphrey is likely set for another modest complementary role in the upcoming AFC Championship Game matchup against either the Texans or Patriots, but he'll operate with Jarrett Stidham as his quarterback following Bo Nix's postseason-ending ankle fracture Saturday.

Finishes another quiet season Humphrey ended the 2025 regular season with 13 receptions on 25 targets for 156 yards and a touchdown across 10 games.

Impact After beginning the season with the Giants and recording just four grabs for 55 yards over three games, Humphrey was signed away from New York's practice squad by the Broncos ahead of the team's Week 11 matchup against the Chiefs. The veteran wideout was reunited with the Broncos after spending the previous two seasons in Denver. He joined a crowded wide receiver room, providing depth in a familiar offense behind Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant and Marvin Mims. Humphrey will become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, so he'll hope to garner interest from team's around the league ahead of the 2026 campaign. With that said, it wouldn't be surprising to see the 27-year-old re-sign with the Broncos based on his familiarity with head coach Sean Payton's system, though he would have an uphill battle for meaningful playing time once again.

Catches two passes in win Humphrey caught two of five targets for 23 yards in Denver's 20-13 win over Kansas City on Thursday.

Impact Humphrey's five targets were his most in a game since joining the Broncos on Nov. 12. With Pat Bryant (concussion) absent against the Chiefs, Humphrey operated as the Broncos' WR2 in terms of playing time, getting in on 60 percent of the offensive snaps, ahead of both Marvin Mims (47 percent) and Troy Franklin (38 percent). In six games with the Broncos, Humphrey has nine catches for 101 yards and one touchdown on 15 targets.

Quiet showing against Jaguars Humphrey caught one of two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Jaguars.

Impact Humphrey played just 13 of the Broncos' 66 offensive snaps, the fewest of any Broncos wide receiver Sunday. The veteran wideout has recorded seven catches for 78 yards and a touchdown since re-joining the Broncos in Week 11 against the Chiefs. Humphrey is a talented player, but his inconsistent usage make him very difficult to trust for consistent fantasy production. The 27-year-old should be ignored for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 17 rematch against the Chiefs.

Finds end zone against Packers Humphrey caught three of four targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers.

Impact Humphrey's trip to the end zone Sunday was his first touchdown of the 2025 campaign. The 27-year-old wideout played 46 of the Broncos' 68 offensive snaps against the Packers, behind just Courtland Sutton (60) and ahead of Troy Franklin (34), Marvin Mims (21) and Michael Bandy (2). Humphrey's jump to a 68 percent snap share coincided with rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant missing the contest with a hamstring injury. The veteran wideout could play a significant role again in Week 16 if Bryant continues to miss time, but the severity of the hamstring issue remains unclear. Nonetheless, Humphrey would be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes in a Week 16 matchup against the Jaguars, as quarterback Bo Nix tends to spread the ball around to several pass catchers each week.

DECEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Three grabs in win Humphrey caught all three of his targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Raiders.

Impact Humphrey played 28 of the Broncos 74 offensive snaps Sunday, behind fellow wide receivers Courtland Sutton (48) and Pat Bryant (35). The 27-year-old was on the field for more offensive snaps than Marvin Mims (20) and Troy Franklin (19). Humphrey's 38 percent snap share was his largest since joining the Broncos this season, yet his elevated usage did not lead to much production. With quarterback Bo Nix spreading the ball around to so many pass catchers, the veteran wideout remains extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes. Next up for Denver is a Week 15 home matchup against the Packers.

Re-joining Payton in Denver Humphrey is signing with the Broncos and may play in Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact The Broncos are signing Humphrey away from the Giants' practice squad, figuring he can acclimate quickly after previously playing for Sean Payton in both New Orleans and Denver. Humphrey isn't likely to have much fantasy value, but his presence in a depth role could take a bit of playing time away from the Broncos' other wide receivers.

NOVEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Placed back on practice squad The Giants reverted Humphrey to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Humphrey was elevated each of the past three weeks and played a major role in New York's offense, logging at least 64 percent of the team's offensive snaps each week. However, after producing four catches on eight targets for 55 yards in Week 6, Humphrey didn't make any catches on two targets over his subsequent two games. Still, with Malik Nabers (knee) on IR and the Giants getting very little production from their wideouts outside of Wan'Dale Robinson, there's certainly a chance Humphrey could continue to be called upon on gamedays. However, he'd need to be signed to the active roster for that to happen since he's already been elevated three times.

Gets third practice-squad elevation The Giants elevated Humphrey from their practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus Philadelphia, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Humphrey was also elevated each of the past two weeks and played a major role in the Giants' offense, logging 77 percent of the team's offensive snaps in Week 6 and 95 percent in Week 7. Darius Slayton (hamstring) is returning for Sunday's game after sitting out each of the past two weeks, so Humphrey will likely take on a lesser role, though he could still be the team's No. 3 WR option behind Slayton and Wan'Dale Robinson. Since Humphrey has now been elevated three times, he'd need to be signed to the active roster in order to be active for New York on gameday again beyond this weekend.

OCTOBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Heads back to practice squad Humphrey reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact In this past Sunday's loss to Denver, Humphrey led New York's wideouts with 74 offensive snaps (out of a possible 77), though he got only two targets and didn't catch either of him. Malik Nabers (knee) is out for the season, so Humphrey could eventually be signed to the active roster to provide every-week receiver depth. His role could be reduced, however, when Darius Slayton (hamstring) is ready to return to action.

OCTOBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated from practice squad again The Giants have elevated Humphrey from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's road matchup against the Broncos, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Impact New York will be without Darius Slayton (hamstring) for a second consecutive game, while Malik Nabers (knee) is already done for the year, which positions Humphrey to again join Wan'Dale Robinson, Jalin Hyatt, Beaux Collins and Gunner Olszewski in the wide receiver corps. Humphrey was elevated Week 6 against the Eagles due to the same circumstance, a game in which he played 77 percent of offensive snaps and secured four of eight targets for 55 yards.

OCTOBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Reverts to practice squad Humphrey reverted to the Giants' practice squad Friday.

Impact With Malik Nabers (knee) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) injured, Humphrey started Thursday night against the Eagles and played 77 percent of the offensive snaps, finishing with four catches for 55 yards on eight targets in his first regular-season action of 2025. Humphrey figures to be a regular elevation candidate over the next few weeks after his strong Week 6 performance.

OCTOBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Busy after promotion Thursday Humphrey brought in four of eight targets for 55 yards in the Giants' 34-17 win over the Eagles on Thursday night.

Impact Promoted from the practice squad earlier in the day, Humphrey made very good use of his first taste of regular-season action in 2025. The veteran wideout finished second to Wan'Dale Robinson in receptions and receiving yards on the night for the Giants while surprisingly pacing the team in targets. Humphrey posted a solid 31-293-1 receiving line 45 targets in a part-time role for the Broncos a year ago, and while Darius Slayton's absence due to a hamstring issue was the biggest factor in Humphrey's elevation against the Eagles, he could remain on the active roster for a Week 7 road matchup with his former Denver teammates on Sunday, Oct. 19.

OCTOBER 10, 2025 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Elevated to active roster Humphrey was elevated to the Giants' active roster ahead of Thursday night's contest against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Impact Humphrey will join the active roster for the first time this season after joining New York's practice squad in the offseason. The 27-year-old will provide the team with an additional depth option at wide receiver with Darius Slayton (hamstring) unavailable for Thursday Night Football.

Staying with Big Blue The Giants signed Humphrey to the practice squad Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Impact Humphrey wasn't able to beat out Gunner Olszewski or undrafted rookie Beaux Collins for a depth wideout spot on the Giants' 53-man roster. Humphrey has elected to stay with the team on the practice squad and is a candidate to be elevated to the active roster should the Giants need extra depth at wide receiver. The seventh-year wideout logged six catches (on nine targets) for 94 yards and a touchdown across the Giants' three preseason games.

AUGUST 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dumped by G-Men The Giants released Humphrey on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Humphrey had a productive preseason, catching six passes for 94 yards and one touchdown on eight targets across 96 offensive snaps. The 27-year-old veteran wideout appeared in all 17 regular-season games for the Broncos last season, making seven starts, and finished with a 31-293-1 receiving line on 45 targets.

Back with Big Blue The Giants re-signed Humphrey on Monday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact The Texas product was dropped by the Giants just three days ago, but it now appears the team has decided to bring him back to New York. Humphrey appeared in all 17 of the Broncos' regular-season contests in 2024, catching 31 of his 45 targets for 293 yards and one touchdown. With the Giants' limited depth depth at wide receiver, Humphrey will likely have the opportunity to compete for a reserve role on offense this summer.

MAY 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Let go by G-Men The Giants released Humphrey on Friday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact This move comes as a bit of a surprise, as Humphrey looked to have a legitimate chance of serving as wideout depth for New York after signing with the organization March 21. The veteran wideout tallied a career-high 31 catches and 293 receiving yards over 17 regular-season games with Denver last year, adding one receiving touchdown. The Giants recently signed five receivers as undrafted free agents and needed to clear roster space, precipitating Humphrey's release.

The New York Giants signed former Denver Broncos wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey to a one-year contract

MARCH 21, 2025 • Associated Press

Finds new team The Giants signed Humphrey on Friday.

Impact Humphrey is coming off a 2024 regular season in which he recorded a career-high 31 receptions on 45 targets for 293 yards and a touchdown in 17 games with the Broncos. At 6-foot-4, 225 pounds, the 26-year-old will add size and experience to a Giants' wideout corps that also includes Malik Nabers, Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton and Jalin Hyatt, but in his new locale, Humphrey could see a dip in volume in 2025.

Finishes second season in Denver Humphrey ended the 2024 regular season with 31 receptions on 45 targets for 293 yards and a touchdown

Impact Humphrey recorded career highs in catches, targets and yards during the 2024 campaign while appearing in all 17 games for the second straight season. With that said, the veteran wideout was not a major part of the Broncos' offensive plans this season, operating in a depth role behind Courtland Sutton, Devaughn Vele, Marvin Mims and Troy Franklin. Humphrey will head into the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, but its possible his long-standing connection with head coach Sean Payton could help him to get another contract offer from the Broncos if he doesn't land with a new team in 2025.

JANUARY 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Modest production in win Humphrey caught two of three targets for four yards in Sunday's 29-19 win over the Raiders.

Impact After scoring his first touchdown and recording a season-high 52 yards in Week 11, Humphrey came crashing back down to Earth against the Raiders in Week 12. The veteran played 38 of the Broncos' 68 offensive snaps Sunday, behind fellow wide receivers Courtland Sutton (58) and Devaughn Vele (44). Humphrey's inconsistent nature make him an unreliable option for fantasy purposes. The 26-year-old will look to bounce back in a Week 13 matchup against the Browns on Monday Night Football.
