QUARTERBACKS

PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDPoints
Russell Wilson531.5334.83959.723.3911.9654.7251.61.91264.65
Jarrett Stidham33.920.8240.71.531.195.619.60.1716.35

Russell Wilson: Wilson's debut season with the Broncos was a flop. He set career lows in completion percentage (60.5%), TDs/TD% (16, 3.3%) and passer rating (84.4). From Weeks 1 to 13, Wilson had only one top-12 weekly performance (Week 4), but he exceeded 24 fantasy points in three of his final four games in 2022. Transitioning to Sean Payton's offense improves optimism about Wilson's 2023 outlook, but he should still be drafted as a fantasy QB2.

RUNNING BACKS

Javonte Williams179.8791.14.9437.3270.91.4162.89
Samaje Perine142.8606.93.7130.2224.71.3128.32

Tyler Badie15.666.30.393.225.20.113.69
Michael Burton6.720.80.24.329.40.18.97

Javonte Williams: It remains unclear whether Williams (ACL) will be ready to go for the start of the season, but he expects to be cleared for training camp. If he is, how close will he be to his pre-injury form and how quickly will he be able to get back to that form? Through 21 career games, Williams has 250 carries for 1,107 yards (4.4 YPC, 52.7 YPG), 59 receptions for 392 yards and a total of seven touchdowns.

Samaje Perine: The early-season availability of Javonte Williams factors heavily into Perine's role, but either way, Perine is poised for a "significant role" in Denver's backfield throughout the season. Sean Payton has a long history of giving substantial workloads to the team's second back.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Jerry Jeudy67.9907.35.43.122.50.09159.87
Courtland Sutton54.9756.14.51.16.10.03130.85
Tim Patrick48.5638.53.8000110.9
Marvin Mims23.3325.5200056.2
K.J. Hamler8.91260.700021.25
Kendall Hinton3.646.20.20007.62
Montrell Washington0.910.50.10002.1

Jerry Jeudy: Jeudy set career highs in receptions (67), yards (972) and touchdowns (six) on 100 targets over 15 games in 2022. Jeudy had 53-plus yards in 10 of his final 11 games if we exclude Week 10 (when he played only one offensive snap). During that 11-game stretch, Jeudy posted a 60/842/5 line with a 72.3% catch rate and 10.14 yards per target. Given the offseason coaching change and Jeudy's production last season when healthy, he has the potential for even better numbers in 2023.

Courtland Sutton: After missing nearly all of 2020, Sutton has appeared in 32 of 34 games over the past two seasons and has averaged 61/803/2 over that time. Like with Jeudy, Sutton could benefit from the potential for improved offensive potency, but Tim Patrick is back after missing all of 2022 with a torn ACL and the Broncos drafted Marvin Mims in Round 2.

Tim Patrick: Patrick missed all of 2022 after tearing his ACL in training camp. Before 2022, he had solid back-to-back seasons — 51/742/6 (WR41) and 53/734/5 (WR40) in 2020 and 2021, respectively. Russell Wilson was "most comfortable" with Patrick before the injury, and "multiple people in the building" have told NFL Network's James Palmer that Patrick is the "best football player" in the WR room.

TIGHT ENDS

Chris Manhertz2.727.30.20005.28

Greg Dulcich: Dulcich had 33 catches for 411 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games as a rookie in 2022. Sean Payton talked up Dulcich, saying that he has "a unique skill set. He's got traits. In the passing game we use the term, 'Joker' where you can get matchups."
