Coming off a disastrous 2022 that saw the Denver Broncos fire their head coach after less than a full season on the job, the team hoped luring Sean Payton out of retirement to take over the reins would turn things around. It did not. A year after finishing 21st in total offense, Denver slipped to 26th overall (298.4 yards per game) and 24th in passing (191.9).
That marked the end of quarterback Russell Wilson‘s time in the Mile High City. He was released and signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The club also moved on from former first-round pick wide receiver Jerry Jeudy, who was traded to the Cleveland Browns. Additions were made as well, including QB Bo Nix, selected 12th overall selection back in April, along with WRs Josh Reynolds, signed from the Detroit Lions in free agency, and Troy Franklin, who played with Nix at Oregon the past two seasons.
While this absolutely feels like a rebuilding year in Denver, that doesn’t mean there won’t be any fantasy value to be found in the Broncos’ receiver room.
