QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Geno Smith	287.7	184.1	2071.4	12.08	6.19	24.6	108.2	1.23	137
Drew Lock	265.6	162	1899	10.89	6.24	23.3	97.9	1.17	123.85

Geno Smith: After trading away Russell Wilson, who will be Seattle's starter in 2022: Drew Lock or Geno Smith? Given his familiarity with the organization and coaching staff and that he's been handling the majority of first-team reps, Smith is the favorite to enter the season as the starter. That said, it's highly likely that both quarterbacks make starts throughout the season.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Rashaad Penny	170.5	792.8	5.97	29.1	240.2	1.2	160.87
Kenneth Walker III	156.1	686.8	4.84	11.2	83.4	0.4	114.06
DeeJay Dallas	17.1	71	0.51	19	148.9	0.7	38.75
Travis Homer	15	66	0.34	9.9	71.5	0.3	22.54

Rashaad Penny: Penny was a surprise first-round pick in 2018. Partly due to his durability issues, the former San Diego State Aztec has only 280 rush attempts over four seasons. Despite the limited workload, Penny has been productive and efficient with 1,580 rushing yards (5.6 YPC) and 11 touchdowns on those 280 carries. Fantasy managers got a glimpse of how productive a healthy Penny can be down the stretch last season. Over the final five weeks of 2021, Penny posted a 92/671/6 (7.3 YPC) rushing line and led all running backs in fantasy points (half-PPR) per game (21.54). In addition, Penny has eclipsed the 100-yard rushing mark in six of seven career games with at least 12 carries.

Kenneth Walker III: Walker has enormous upside ... in 2023. The former Spartan (and Demon Deacon) has been used sparingly in college as a receiver, but he's arguably the best pure rusher in the 2022 draft class given his powerful compact frame, contact balance and ability to break tackles. Walker would be catapulted into heavy workloads if Penny is unable to stay healthy.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
D.K. Metcalf	73.2	1002.5	6	1	5.7	0.05	173.72
Tyler Lockett	73.7	921.1	5.5	1.9	12.4	0.11	163.86
D'Wayne Eskridge	27	321.6	1.9	4.2	31.5	0.21	61.47
Freddie Swain	17.1	208.4	1.2	3.1	19.8	0.16	39.53
Bo Melton	4.7	61.5	0.4	0	0	0	10.9
Cody Thompson	3.6	47.6	0.3	0	0	0	8.36

D.K. Metcalf: The obvious concern with Metcalf (and the passing game overall) is that Russell Wilson is now in Denver. Still only 24 years old, the physically-imposing wideout enters his fourth season with three consecutive 900-yard campaigns. While his yards per reception (12.9) and yards per target (7.5) were both career lows, he set a career high with 12 touchdowns and has now scored double-digit touchdowns in back-to-back seasons.

Tyler Lockett: Including his rushing yardage, Lockett has exceeded the 1,000-yard mark and scored at least eight touchdowns in four consecutive seasons. Given the team's run-first philosophy, there has been some up-and-down weekly output from Lockett despite his full-season consistency even with Russell Wilson under center. Add in the QB downgrade(s) with Drew Lock and Geno Smith, it's likely that we see more week-to-week volatility from Lockett.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Noah Fant	48.3	551.9	3.2	98.54
Will Dissly	20.6	222.3	1.2	39.73
Colby Parkinson	8.7	89.3	0.5	16.28

Noah Fant: Fant's 2021 numbers (68/670/4) were nearly identical to his 2020 production (62/673/3). While Drew Lock moves to Seattle with him, Fant will be no better than third in line for targets behind D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

Fantasy Football Projections 2021: Denver Broncos

Our 2021 Fantasy Football Projections will be viewable by both position and team.

Below you will find our 2021 fantasy football projections for the Denver Broncos.

MORE: Fantasy football projections for more NFL teams

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Teddy Bridgewater	520.3	345.2	3850.2	20.03	11.45	42.1	160	2.11	239.89
Drew Lock	70.9	42.9	510.5	2.87	2.13	10.5	38.9	0.53	34.71

Teddy Bridgewater: The QB competition between Drew Lock and Bridgewater is over when it comes to determining the Week 1 starter (Bridgewater), but it's possible that both make starts in 2021. While his upside is low, Bridgewater will provide steadier quarterback play for a team that has a strong roster overall and will compete for the playoffs. He finished as fantasy's QB19 with Carolina in 2020.

Drew Lock: Lock will enter 2021 as the backup, but as noted above, could certainly make a start or two in 2021. Lock completed just 57.3% of 2020 pass attempts and tied Carson Wentz for a league-high 15 interceptions thrown.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Javonte Williams	201.2	885.3	6.84	35.5	272.5	1.6	184.17
Melvin Gordon	155.6	669.1	5.45	22.3	157	0.9	131.86
Mike Boone	35.1	158	1.33	8.7	61	0.2	35.43
Nate McCrary	7	29.4	0.18	2.1	15.3	0.1	7.2

Javonte Williams: Even though he was the third back off the board in the 2021 NFL Draft, some teams viewed Williams as "best back in the draft." With the Broncos trading up to get in front of the Dolphins to select Williams, it's likely that he emerges as the team's lead back sooner rather than later. The 20-year-old back is a tackle-breaking machine.

Melvin Gordon: Gordon closed last season (Weeks 11-17) with elite volume (120 touches, seventh-most), which allowed MG3 to rank seventh in yards from scrimmage (618) and ninth in half-PPR scoring during that stretch. Regardless of how the workload allocation starts, it's likely that there will be a shift from the veteran to the rookie as the season progresses.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Jerry Jeudy	83.4	1074.9	5.1	0	0	0	179.79
Courtland Sutton	73.2	965.9	5	2.3	9.2	0.05	164.41
K.J. Hamler	34.9	425.2	2.3	14	61.6	0.35	82.03
Tim Patrick	31.4	383.7	2.2	0	0	0	67.27
Diontae Spencer	8.9	89.4	0.3	0	0	0	15.19

Jerry Jeudy: Considering Courtland Sutton (ACL) missing nearly all of 2020, Jeudy underwhelmed as a rookie. A 46.0% catch rate prevented him from capitalizing on a 31.46% share of his team's air yards. Inconsistent quarterback play contributed to the lack of production and all signs point to the potential for a breakout in year two, especially with the Broncos naming Teddy Bridgewater as their starting QB.

Courtland Sutton: Sutton had a breakout season in 2019 -- 72 catches for 1,112 yards and six touchdowns -- but missed nearly all of 2020 with a torn ACL. The choice of Bridgewater over Drew Lock more than likely benefits Jeudy more than Sutton.

K.J. Hamler: Hamler has blazing speed, but he's unlikely to carve out a fantasy-relevant second season with Sutton, Jeudy and Fant (at least) all ahead of him in the targets pecking order.

Tim Patrick: Patrick was productive last season with a career-best 51/742/6 line. While he may once again outproduce expectations, it's also possible that he ranks fourth in WR snaps behind Sutton, Jeudy and Hamler.

TIGHT ENDS

Eric Saubert	3.9	39.2	0.2	7.07
Andrew Beck	1.2	10.9	0	1.69

Noah Fant: Playing at less than 100% in 2020, Fant averaged only 10.9 Y/R after averaging 14.1 in 2019. Fant's ADOT (7.6 to 6.7) and YAC/R (8.3 to 6.1) both declined year over year, but he also set career highs in receptions (62) and yards (673). Fant has been dealing with a "leg issue" that isn't believed to be serious or keep him out Week 1.

Melvin Gordon: While only 14 yards shy of 1,000 rushing yards in 2020, Gordon averaged a career-low 4.9 yards per catch. From Weeks 11 to 17, however, elite volume (120 touches, seventh-most) allowed MG3 to rank seventh in yards from scrimmage (618) and ninth in half-PPR scoring during that stretch.

Will the presence of Javonte Williams make Gordon expendable? For fantasy managers that roster MG3, it may be better for a new opportunity than a situation where the Broncos gradually shift a larger share of the workload to Williams as the season progresses, a potentially frustrating development for MG3 fantasy managers.

Teddy Bridgewater	236	158.7	1734.6	8.85	5.19	24.7	93.9	1.24	111.23

Drew Lock: The Aaron Rodgers (to Denver) speculation was at a fever pitch earlier this offseason and perhaps the Broncos will make a move to trade for Deshaun Watson. For now, however, it's a battle between Lock and newcomer Teddy Bridgewater and there appears to be "no separation" between the duo so far. If Lock opens the season as the starter, it's no (ahem) lock that he keeps the job. Not only did Lock complete just 57.3% of his pass attempts, but he tied Carson Wentz for a league-high 15 interceptions thrown in 2020.

Teddy Bridgewater: As noted above, the QB competition between Lock and Bridgewater is tight and both will most likely make starts in 2021. Even if Bridgewater wins the starting gig to enter the season, he is a low-upside option.

Javonte Williams: Even though he was the third back off the board, some teams viewed Williams as "best back in the draft." With the Broncos moving up to get in front of the Dolphins to select Williams, it's likely that he emerges as the team's lead back sooner rather than later. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if the Broncos parted ways (via trade or release) before final roster cuts. The 20-year-old back is a tackle-breaking machine.

Courtland Sutton: Sutton had a breakout season in 2019 -- 72 catches for 1,112 yards and six touchdowns -- but missed nearly all of 2020 with a torn ACL. While Sutton is our top-ranked Broncos fantasy wide receiver, it's more of a 1(a)/1(b) situation with Jerry Jeudy and both are viable WR3 types heading into 2021. A low level of quarterback play could hold both back, however.

Jerry Jeudy: Jeudy had his moments, but it was generally an underwhelming rookie season given the Week 1 season-ending injury to Courtland Sutton. Per NextGen Stats, Jeudy's 31.46% share of his team's air yards ranked 14th in 2020. That said, he had a 46.0% catch rate on the year.

K.J. Hamler: Hamler has blazing speed, but he's unlikely to carve out a fantasy-relevant second season with Sutton, Jeudy and Fant (at least) all ahead of him in the targets pecking order.

Fantasy Football QB Strength of Schedule: Week 8

When it comes to picking up or trading for players, one factor to consider is the player's fantasy football strength of schedule.

A player's fantasy strength of schedule is far from the most important aspect of his outlook. But if you're debating a pair of players and they are otherwise comparable in your view, a more favorable fantasy schedule could at least break the tie.

MORE: Our Week 8 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Post

Based on the fantasy points each team has surrendered up to this point, we average what each team's remaining opponents have given up to each position. The higher the number, the more favorable their collective remaining matchups are.

With that said, here are the QB Fantasy Football Strength of Schedule for the remainder of the year:

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	186.9	756.9	6.07	37.4	302.9	1.78	153.08
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. Vic Fangio said of the Gordon and Phillip Lindsay duo: "I anticipate both playing enough where we really don’t have to designate a starter." Either way, MG3 figures to get the larger share of the split, although Lindsay may offer more value at his later ADP.
Phillip Lindsay	154.3	709.8	5.01	31.7	199.7	0.71	125.27
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	60.1	775.3	5.26	2.2	9.9	0.02	110.2
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 (at least, for 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	27.5	343.8	2.34	4.3	22.4	0.09	51.2
DaeSean Hamilton	13.4	126	0.67	0	0	0	16.62
Tim Patrick	8.7	114.8	0.44	0	0	0	14.12
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	48.2	609.7	4.1	0	0	0	85.57
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

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.
