Below you will find our 2018 fantasy football projections for the Denver Broncos.
Quarterbacks
| Player | Att. | Comp. | Yards | TD | INT | Rush | Yards | TD | FL | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Case Keenum | 572.2 | 371.9 | 4120 | 23.5 | 13.7 | 42.5 | 144.5 | 1.3 | 1.6 | 250.45 |
| Following a breakout season with the Vikings, Keenum signed a free-agent deal with the Broncos to give them their most stable quarterback situation since Peyton Manning. More than anything, however, the presence of Keenum is a boost to the fantasy value of Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders, but Keenum is a viable streaming option who should have a handful of solid performances in 2018. | ||||||||||
| Paxton Lynch | 4.6 | 2.8 | 29 | 0.1 | 0.1 | 2.2 | 9.2 | 0 | 0.1 | 2.08 |
| Chad Kelly | 1.2 | 0.7 | 8 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.32 |

Running Backs
| Player | Att. | Yards | TD | Rec. | Yards | TD | FL | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Royce Freeman | 185.5 | 788.4 | 6.1 | 12.5 | 93.8 | 0.3 | 1.6 | 123.42 |
| It's more than possible that Freeman becomes that the lead guy at some point during the season even if he doesn't begin the season in that role. A four-year starter for the Ducks, the 230-pound back rushed for 5,621 (5.9 YPC) yards and 60 touchdowns in his career while adding 79/814/4 receiving. | ||||||||
| Devontae Booker | 165.4 | 628.5 | 5 | 26.5 | 230.6 | 0.5 | 2.5 | 113.91 |
| With the Broncos releasing C.J. Anderson this offseason, Booker has a chance to enter the season as the starter, but I'm not sure that he'll end the season as the team's lead back. The Broncos used a third-round pick on Royce Freeman, who could/should overtake Booker at some point during the season. | ||||||||
| De'Angelo Henderson | 38 | 142.5 | 0.8 | 11.1 | 86.6 | 0.4 | 0 | 30.11 |
| Andy Janovich | 6.7 | 16.1 | 0.3 | 4.8 | 42.2 | 0.2 | 0 | 8.83 |
| David Williams | 4.5 | 14 | 0.1 | 0.7 | 4.6 | 0 | 0 | 2.46 |

Wide Receivers
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | FL | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Demaryius Thomas | 84.9 | 1120.7 | 6.8 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1.6 | 149.67 |
| Thomas is coming off his worst season (83/949/5) since breaking out in 2012. Signing Case Keenum may not return Thomas to the days of 90/1,400/10 numbers he posted from 2012 to 2014, but a bounce-back campaign to the tune of 90 catches and 1,200 yards seems reasonable with steadier quarterback play. | ||||||||
| Emmanuel Sanders | 75.5 | 1011.7 | 3.8 | 1.3 | 6.5 | 0 | 0.6 | 123.42 |
| While Sanders missed four games, his 2017 numbers (47/555/2) were nearly half of his 2016 production (79/1,032/5). Before last season, Sanders had three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons and there is a reasonable chance that he approaches that level of production with Keenum under center. | ||||||||
| Courtland Sutton | 41.2 | 523.2 | 2.9 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1.2 | 67.32 |
| Highly productive at SMU, Sutton should get opportunities in three-wide sets for the Broncos, but he isn't on the re-draft radar (in standard-sized leagues) barring an injury to either Thomas or Sanders. | ||||||||
| Carlos Henderson | 20.8 | 266.2 | 1.2 | 2.2 | 9.7 | 0 | 0.5 | 33.79 |
| DaeSean Hamilton | 19.4 | 236.7 | 1.4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.3 | 31.47 |
| Jordan Taylor | 5.7 | 69 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.4 | 9.1 |
| Isaiah McKenzie | 2.9 | 26.7 | 0.1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.1 | 4.87 |
