Lucas Krull

26-Year-Old Tight EndTE
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Krull didn’t have an NFL catch until Week 14 of last season, but he showed some promising pass catching ability down the stretch, turning 12 targets into eight catches for 95 yards and a touchdown over the final five games of 2023. While Greg Dulcich has the most upside among Denver’s tight ends, Dulcich has played just 12 games in two seasons and has already dealt with three separate hamstring injuries. Adam Trautman is returning after leading Denver’s tight ends in snaps last season, but he’s more valuable as a blocker than a pass catcher. There’s a path to an increased role for Krull in his age-26 season, especially if Dulcich gets hurt again, but keep in mind that Krull has just eight career catches. Read Past Outlooks

Krull finished the 2024 season with 19 catches on 23 targets for 152 yards and no touchdowns.
ANALYSIS
Krull played 13 games in the 2024 campaign after appearing in just seven games in 2023. The 26-year-old tight end recorded career highs in catches, targets and yards this season while splitting playing time with fellow tight ends Adam Trautman and Nate Adkins. Krull paced the group in receptions and targets, as he became more involved in Denver's offense in his second season with the Broncos. The Pittsburgh product will enter this offseason as an exclusive-rights free agent, giving the Broncos the ability to retain Krull as long as they offer him at least a one-year, league-minimum contract. Either way, Krull will look to take a step forward after gaining more experience this season.
