Denver Broncos

As the consensus #87, Andrew Beck is best left on the waiver wire. Beck is projected for just 295 yards and 2.9 TDs on 27.9 receptions. Beck is not Russell Wilson's first or even second choice at tight end, with Albert Okwuegbunam and Greg Dulcich on the roster.

Courtland Sutton is correctly valued at his ADP of 41 as the consensus #33 overall player. Sutton is the #1 receiver on the Broncos, with Jerry Jeudy and KJ Hamler behind him. Ranked #13 in our consensus wide receiver rankings, he's an every week starter. He's projected to catch 70.8 receptions for 1,004 yards and 6.8 TDs, which is 31.6% of the workload for WRs on the Broncos. Denver has the 9th-best wide receiver schedule.

Albert Okwuegbunam is projected for a respectable 515 yards and 4.7 TDs on 49.9 receptions. As our #16 TE, Okwuegbunam is a low-end starter in most leagues. Okwuegbunam is correctly valued at his ADP of 160 as the consensus #130 overall player. The Broncos have the 4th-best schedule for tight ends.

Kendall Hinton is the WR5 on the Broncos. As the consensus #183 WR, he won't be worth owning in most fantasy leagues. He's projected for 77 yards and 0.5 TDs on 5.4 receptions, which is 2.4% of the total for Broncos WRs. Denver has the 9th-best schedule for wide receivers.

Kj Hamler is the #3 wide receiver on the Broncos, behind Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy. Ranked #76 in our consensus wide receiver rankings, he will ride the fantasy bench most weeks. He is projected for 566 yards and 3.3 TDs on 43.4 receptions, for 19.4% of the workload for Broncos WRs. Denver has the 9th-best schedule for wide receivers. Hamler is correctly valued at his ADP of 225 as the consensus #202 overall player.

Washington is not a focus of the the Broncos' offense as their WR4. Ranked #147 in our consensus wide receiver rankings, he's not worth a draft pick in most leagues. Washington is projected to catch 13.6 receptions for 177 yards and 1.2 TDs, which is 6.0% of the total for WRs on the Broncos. The Broncos have the 9th-best schedule for WRs.

The market has Javonte Williams correctly valued at an ADP of 18, compared to an overall ECR of 21. With 14.5 projected rushes and 2.9 projected catches per games, Williams is one of the few running backs with a workload you can feel good about. He leads Melvin Gordon III and Mike Boone on the Broncos' depth chart. Denver has the 7th-best schedule for RBs.

With 0.9 projected rushes and 0.2 projected catches per games, Mike Boone is safe to leave on the waiver wire. He trails both Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon III on the depth chart in Denver.

As our consensus #9 QB, Russell Wilson is a fine quarterback if you want to save your early draft picks for other positions. Wilson is expected to earn 13% of his projected 307 fantasy points by rushing. While it isn't nothing, it's not a huge part of his gameplan. Projected for a 3.0 touchdown-to-interception ratio, he doesn't carry much interception risk.

Melvin Gordon III is correctly valued at his ADP of 100 as the consensus #100 overall player. At a projected workload of 11.1 touches per game (9.6 carries and 1.5 receptions), Gordon will see the ball enough to be relevant in most leagues. He's second among Broncos running backs, behind Javonte Williams. The Broncos have the 7th-best schedule for running backs.

Jerry Jeudy is worth drafting at his ADP of 67 as the consensus #57 overall player. Jeudy is the second-best WR on the Broncos, trailing Courtland Sutton. As the consensus #25 WR, you'll be able to depend on him each week. He's projected for 1,025 yards and 5.9 TDs on 75.4 receptions, for 33.6% of the workload for WRs on the Broncos. The Broncos have the 9th-best wide receiver schedule.

The market has Tim Patrick correctly valued at an ADP of 147, compared to an overall ECR of 146. Patrick is the WR3 for the Broncos, behind Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy. At #58 in our WR rankings, he will ride the fantasy bench most weeks. Patrick is projected to catch 51.8 receptions for 713 yards and 5.1 TDs, which is 22.5% of the workload for WRs on the Broncos. The Broncos have the 9th-best schedule for wide receivers.

At rank 39 among tight ends, Greg Dulcich is not someone you want to start in fantasy. Dulcich is projected to catch only 17.5 receptions for 190 yards and 1.4 touchdowns. Dulcich will be playing behind Albert Okwuegbunam at TE in Denver.

At a projected workload of 1.1 carries and 0.1 receptions per game, Nate McCrary is safe to leave on the waiver wire. He has some competition on the Broncos' depth chart, where he trails both Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon III.

Diontae Spencer is not a focus of the the Broncos' offense as their WR7. Ranked #211 in our consensus wide receiver rankings, he's not really fantasy-relevant. He is projected for 53 yards and 0.3 TDs on 4.6 receptions, for 2.1% of the total for Broncos WRs. The Broncos have the 11th-best schedule for wide receivers.

At rank 101 among tight ends, Eric Saubert is best left on the waiver wire. Saubert is projected for 23 yards and 0.1 TDs on 2.4 receptions. Saubert will struggle for touches with Noah Fant and Albert Okwuegbunam ahead of him.

Drew Lock will be watching from the bench as Teddy Bridgewater starts for the Broncos. Without a starting job, he's not really relevant in fantasy. Lock is expected to earn 10% of his projected 38 fantasy points by rushing. While running is in his wheelhouse, it's not a major source of his fantasy value. With a projection of 2.2 interceptions compared to 3.6 passing touchdowns, he comes with some significant interceptino risk.

At QB31, Teddy Bridgewater isn't worth owning in 1QB leagues. His role as the starter in Denver makes him worth owning in 2QB leagues, even if you're not starting him in fantasy. Bridgewater is expected to earn 15% of his projected 248 fantasy points by rushing. While running is in his wheelhouse, it's not a core part of his fantasy value. With a projected toughdown-to-interception ratio of 1.7, he has the ability to ruin a fantasy week with multiple picks in a game.

As the consensus TE7, Noah Fant is a low-end starter in most leagues. Fant is projected for a respectable 741 yards and 4.6 TDs on 66.3 receptions. As the consensus #84 overall player, Noah Fant is a reasonable pick at his ADP of 93. The Broncos have the 4th-best schedule for tight ends.

Daesean Hamilton might see limited usage as the 6th-ranked WR on the Broncos. Ranked #205 in our consensus wide receiver rankings, he's not a real fantasy asset. He's projected to catch 7.3 receptions for 75 yards and 0.5 TDs, which is 3.4% of the workload for Broncos WRs. Denver has the 11th-best wide receiver schedule.
