Bryant was the star of training camp and is the Broncos' WR3. The source recommends keeping him on the bench for now to see how he's utilized and how snaps are split with Mims, Franklin, and Lil'Jordan Humphrey. There's upside potential, with a realistic scenario where he becomes the Broncos' WR2 by season's end. The source recommends rostering and stashing for future payoff.

Pat Bryant is a high-upside, unrostered waiver wire target in a pass-first Denver offense.

At $4,200 on DraftKings, Bryant was one of the main stars of Broncos training camp and is expected to be in the starting three-wide for an offense that will throw a lot. Denver faces a Chiefs defense weakened by Trent McDuffie's trade to LA, leaving them with a 2025 third-round pick, the sixth overall pick in this year's draft, and L'Jarius Sneed as their three cornerbacks. The source thinks Bryant takes a step forward this year and it starts in Week 1.

Bryant was one of the main stars of Broncos training camp and should be in the starting three-wide for an offense that will throw a lot. The source believes he takes a step forward this year starting in Week 1.
