A.T. Perry is back on the field for Denver after an ankle setback this summer, with coach Sean Payton highlighting a real progression and a clear developmental path. Perry, a Wake Forest standout, resurfaced on the Broncos’ practice squad after initial final-c cuts, and is shaping as a high-ceiling, long-armed option who could stretch defenses if his hands catch up. Denver’s Week 1 WR group remains Sutton, Mims, Franklin, Bryant and Sherfield, leaving Perry to grind his way into the rotation as he trims the developmental gap.

The Broncos’ decision to keep Perry on a fluid on-ramp mirrors Payton’s cautious but optimistic approach to accelerants who missed practice. Perry’s profile—4.47s 40, 35-inch vertical, lengthy frame—coupled with the team’s WR depth, makes him a sweet spot for dynasty-type upside while keeping real-season risk in mind. Fantasy managers should monitor continued health, practice reps, and any in-season bumps to the depth chart that could unlock a late-season role.
