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 | 569.3 | 370 | 4099 | 23.3 | 13.7 | 42.5 | 144.5 | 1.3 | 1.6 | 248.81 |
| 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 although Keenum is a viable streaming option who should have a handful of solid performances in 2018. | ||||||||||

Running Backs
| Player | Att. | Yards | TD | Rec. | Yards | TD | FL | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Royce Freeman | 201.6 | 856.8 | 6.7 | 18.2 | 136.5 | 0.4 | 1.6 | 138.73 |
| It seems likely that Freeman will become 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 | 149.7 | 568.9 | 4.6 | 24.7 | 214.9 | 0.5 | 2.5 | 103.98 |
| With the Broncos releasing C.J. Anderson this offseason, Booker has a chance to enter the season as the starter even if he doesn't end the season in that role. The Broncos used a third-round pick on Royce Freeman, who should overtake Booker at some point during the season. | ||||||||
| De'Angelo Henderson | 38 | 142.5 | 0.8 | 9.3 | 72.5 | 0.4 | 0 | 28.7 |
| Phillip Lindsay | 4.5 | 19.4 | 0.1 | 5.7 | 44.5 | 0.2 | 0 | 8.19 |
| Andy Janovich | 5.8 | 13.9 | 0.2 | 4.4 | 38.7 | 0.2 | 0 | 7.66 |

Wide Receivers
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | FL | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Demaryius Thomas | 83.8 | 1106.2 | 6.9 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1.6 | 148.82 |
| Thomas is coming off his worst season (83/949/5) since breaking out in 2012 (Peyton Manning's first year in Denver). 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 85 catches and 1,100 yards seems reasonable with steadier quarterback play. | ||||||||
| Emmanuel Sanders | 76.4 | 1023.8 | 4.6 | 1.3 | 6.5 | 0 | 0.6 | 129.43 |
| 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 bounces back with Keenum under center. | ||||||||
| Courtland Sutton | 43.7 | 557.2 | 3.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1.2 | 74.32 |
| Highly productive at SMU and generating August buzz, Sutton is already entrenched as the team's WR3 along with Thomas and Sanders in three-wide sets. If either DT or Sanders were to miss time, Sutton could be a weekly top-36 option in those instances. | ||||||||
| DaeSean Hamilton | 18.4 | 224.5 | 1.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.3 | 30.85 |
| Carlos Henderson | 10.4 | 134.2 | 0.7 | 2.2 | 9.7 | 0 | 0.5 | 17.59 |
| Jordan Taylor | 2.6 | 31.5 | 0.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.4 | 3.55 |
| Isaiah McKenzie | 1.5 | 13.8 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.1 | 2.98 |

Tight Ends
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | FL | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jake Butt | 35.1 | 393.1 | 4.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.1 | 64.31 |
| Fully healthy after missing all of 2017 with a torn ACL, Butt has some sleeper appeal. | ||||||||
| Jeff Heuerman | 19.6 | 239.1 | 1.8 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.1 | 34.51 |
| Austin Traylor | 7.5 | 94.5 | 0.8 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.1 | 14.05 |
