Broncos' undrafted tight end holds the key to team creating an extra roster spot | Sporting News Denver Broncos tight end Nate Adkins could have a big impact on the team's 53-man roster this summer.
JULY 22, 2025 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM
Scores three touchdowns in 2024 Adkins finished the 2024 campaign with 14 catches on 15 targets for 115 yards and three touchdowns.
Impact Adkins appeared in all 17 games of the 2024 campaign after playing in just 10 games as a rookie 2023. The 25-year-old tight end's three trips to the end zone ranked him third in receiving touchdowns for the Broncos, behind wide receivers Courtland Sutton (8) and Marvin Mims (6) and tied with wideout Devaughn Vele. Adkins role did not have a major role in the offense throughout the season, failing to catch more than one pass in all but two games. The South Carolina product remains under contract for the 2025 season before coming a restricted free agent in 2026.

Hits pay dirt against Indianapolis Adkins caught his lone target for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Colts.
Impact Adkins' trip to the end zone was his third score of the season, each coming on the tight end's only reception in a contest. Through 14 games, the 25-year-old has failed to record more than one catch in any of his appearances. With that said, Adkins played 29 of 63 offensive snaps against the Colts, ahead of both Adam Trautman (27) and Lucas Krull (24). Due to his inconsistent usage and minimal production, Adkins remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Chargers.

Posts one catch, TD in Week 11 Adkins secured his lone target for a 12-yard touchdown in Sunday's 38-6 win over the Falcons.
Impact Adkins started the Denver's avalanche of scoring Sunday, catching his second touchdown of the season early in the first quarter against Atlanta. The 25-year-old tight end has recorded just six receptions for 34 yards and two scores over the course of the first 11 games of the 2024 campaign. Adkins' role as the No. 2 tight end in Denver's passing offense has predictably not resulted in much production this season. He should remain off the fantasy radar in a Week 12 matchup with the Raiders.

Healthy scratch for Week 13 Adkins (coach's decision) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans.
Impact The 24-year-old tight end appeared in each of Denver's last two games, but it now seems as if he's fallen down the depth chart. The Broncos elevated Lucas Krull to their active roster Saturday, and with Adkins inactive, Krull will likely serve as the team's No. 3 tight end in Week 13. Adkins has appeared in eight games for Denver this season, catching four of his five targets for 22 yards and primarily playing on special teams.
