QUARTERBACKS
| Player | Att. | Comp. | Yards | TD | INT | Rush | Yards | TD | Points | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Drew Lock | 500.9 | 313.1 | 3481.3 | 22.79 | 11.02 | 43.5 | 169.7 | 0.87 | 230.56 | |
| Lock showed some end-of-season promise as a rookie and heads into 2020 with an improved cast of pass-catchers. While Courtland Sutton had a breakout sophomore campaign, he was the only returning Bronco wide receiver to eclipse the 300-yard mark. Adding Jerry Jeudy and speedster K.J. Hamler in the first two rounds as well as a potential mismatch at tight end (Albert Okwuegbunam) in the fourth round, Lock is an intriguing streamer that is poised to make a sophomore leap. | ||||||||||
| Jeff Driskel | 34.8 | 20.4 | 222.7 | 1.27 | 1.01 | 6.5 | 37.1 | 0.2 | 16.88 | |
RUNNING BACKS
| Player | Att. | Yards | TD | Rec. | Yards | TD | Points | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Melvin Gordon | 189.1 | 765.9 | 6.15 | 37.4 | 302.9 | 1.78 | 154.46 | |
| It was a surprising move for Gordon to stay in the division as the Broncos already had a back-to-back 1,000-yard rusher that is also a capable receiver out of the backfield. Even so, "the belief" is that MG3 will be the team's "bell cow," but's he's had some early challenges adjusting to Denver's altitude. | ||||||||
| Phillip Lindsay | 152.1 | 699.7 | 4.94 | 31.7 | 199.7 | 0.71 | 123.84 | |
| The former UDFA has begun his career with back-to-back seasons with 1,000 rushing yards and 35 catches. As productive as he has been, he moves down a spot on the depth chart as the team signed Melvin Gordon in free agency. | ||||||||
| Royce Freeman | 30.4 | 118.6 | 0.84 | 14.1 | 83.9 | 0.28 | 26.97 | |
| Khalfani Muhammad | 2.2 | 9 | 0.03 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1.08 | |

WIDE RECEIVERS
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | Points | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Courtland Sutton | 68.9 | 978.4 | 6.55 | 3.3 | 14.9 | 0.03 | 138.81 | |
| Sutton made a big leap in his second season with 72 catches for 1,112 yards and six touchdowns on 125 targets, but he was less efficient with Drew Lock (12.73 Y/R, 7.0 Y/TGT) than before him (16.64 Y/R, 9.79 Y/T). With little talent surrounding him in 2019, the Broncos loaded up on playmakers early in the draft -- Jerry Jeudy (Round 1), K.J. Hamler (Round 2) and Albert Okwuegbunam (Round 4). | ||||||||
| Jerry Jeudy | 59.2 | 763.7 | 5.18 | 2.2 | 9.9 | 0.02 | 108.56 | |
| Longer term, I expect Jeudy to emerge as Denver's No. 1 receiver. In re-draft leagues, however, he'll slot in as the No. 2 option behind Sutton (for at least this year). It may take longer for rookies to make an initial impact without a preseason and unorthodox offseason, but the polished route-runner from Alabama has the chance to flirt with WR3-level production in the second half of the season as he develops rapport with second-year quarterback Drew Lock. | ||||||||
| K.J. Hamler | 31.8 | 397.5 | 2.7 | 4.3 | 22.4 | 0.09 | 58.73 | |
| DaeSean Hamilton | 11.9 | 111.9 | 0.6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 14.79 | |
| Tim Patrick | 7.9 | 104.3 | 0.4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 12.83 | |
| Diontae Spencer | 1.6 | 14.7 | 0.06 | 1.1 | 4.6 | 0.01 | 2.35 | |
TIGHT ENDS
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | Points | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Noah Fant | 46.5 | 588.2 | 3.95 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 82.52 | |
| Fant showed promise as a rookie and showed his big-play ability with a pair of 100-yard games. That said, he had as many games with single-digit receiving yards (four) as he had with 50-plus (four). While more consistency should be expected in 2020, the mass addition of offensive weapons potentially limits his ceiling for a true second-year breakout. | ||||||||
| Albert Okwuegbunam | 10.1 | 116.2 | 1.01 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 17.68 | |
| Nick Vannett | 4.7 | 45.1 | 0.38 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 6.79 | |
| Jeff Heuerman | 3.5 | 30.8 | 0.32 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 | |
