TE Ryan Griffin

We mention Sam Darnold, but Ryan Griffin could be a player benefiting from the QB. Last week he had a huge game with 109 yards on five catches with one touchdown. In three of his last four games, he has at least four catches with three scores over those four games as well. It’s been a weak year for plenty of tight ends, so Griffin could be a solid add down the stretch like his teammate.

WR Tim Patrick

The Broncos got Tim Patrick back in their lineup last week for the first time since opening day and he had four catches for 77 yards on eight targets. Patrick has a tough matchup against the Bills this week and Brandon Allen is still his QB, but he’s the clear No. 2 man in Denver opposite Courtland Sutton which always makes someone a worthwhile add.
