Andy Janovich

Stats: 1 carry, 1 yard, 5 receptions, 42 yards

With Scangarello coming over from Kyle Shanahan’s system with the San Francisco 49ers, it seemed that the fullback would take on a much more important role in the Denver offense.

A nasty elbow injury in Week 11 cut Janovich’s season short. He did sign a three-year contract extension earlier in the year and will be part of the team’s future going forward.

His offensive stats are never going to jump off the page but as a blocker and as an offensive chess piece, he plays an important role.

As for his 2019 grade, he gave the team what he needed to in the games he played in.

Grade: B

Overall grade

The Broncos weren’t a terrible running team in 2019, but 20th in the league isn’t going to cut it. Particularly when you look at how some of the better teams this year (Baltimore, San Francisco, Tennessee) dominated with the running game.

At the same time, the running game has plenty of promise with two young backs. Going into 2020, it will be interesting to see how the Broncos choose to address the position.

Don’t be surprised if the team looks at running back in one of the first three rounds of the draft.

Overall grade: B-
