Rest-of-Season Projections
Surprise cut for Denver
The Broncos waived Hinton on Sunday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
ANALYSIS
Hinton has spent time on and off the Broncos' active roster over the past three seasons, and he appeared in 12 games with the team last year, catching 24 of 33 targets for 311 yards -- all of which were career highs. Therefore, he appeared to be a likely candidate to earn one of the team's final wide receiver spots behind Marvin Mims, Brandon Johnson and Marquez Callaway this preseason. Instead, Hinton was included among the team's initial round of roster cuts heading into the 2023 campaign. The 26-year-old did undergo a minor knee scope this offseason and opened training camp on the active/PUP list before he was quickly activated July 28, and he is considered fully healthy for this coming season. Nonetheless, his removal should increase the odds for wideouts like Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Taylor Grimes and Montrell Washington to make Denver's final 53-man roster. If Hinton is not claimed off waivers by another team, he'll likely receive a practice-squad offer from Denver prior to Week 1.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Entering his fourth year in the league, Hinton will likely continue to struggle to find consistent playing time in Denver's offense. The veteran wideout finished the 2022 season with just 24 catches for 311 scoreless yards. With that said, Hinton has been impressing new head coach Sean Payton early in training camp, which could bode well for his chances of being involved in some capacity this season. With Tim Patrick (Achilles) out for the season and KJ Hamler (pectoral/pericarditis) waived for the start of 2023, things could open up for the 26-year-old. However, Hinton faces an uphill battle for targets as he would likely play behind the likes of Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims and Marquez Callaway. Barring injuries, Hinton should have a difficult time reaching fantasy relevance in the upcoming campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Another expanded opportunity coming
Hinton should continue to play a larger role in Week 12 against the Panthers, as Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports that fellow wide receivers Jerry Jeudy and KJ Hamler will remain sidelined due to their respective injuries.
ANALYSIS
Jeudy hurt his ankle in the first quarter of the Week 10 game against Tennessee, while Hamler has been sidelined by a hamstring injury since Week 8. Hinton recorded a season-high 62 yards against the Titans after Jeudy got hurt, then came five yards short of that total in Week 11 against the Rams, and he should work as the team's No. 2 wide receiver behind Courtland Sutton in Week 12.
