The Denver Broncos really went for it on the offensive side over the offseason and this gives them a depth chart that they should be satisfied with. The receiving core is going to be made up of Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy, and KJ Hamler. Despite having two rookies, this group is looking very promising. Especially when you factor in Noah Fant coming into year two as the starting quarterback. The running back committee got a bit deeper, although Royce Freeman doesn’t project to have much time on the field with Melvin Gordon signing over the offseason. Gordon and Lindsay go down as the one-two running backs.

It was an exciting offseason for the Denver Broncos as they bolstered their offense with young top wide receivers. With Courtland Sutton and Noah Fant already being young options, the Broncos drafted Jerry Jeudy and KJ Hamler. They also drafted Lloyd Cushenberry to address a need at center. Denver didn't stop there as they brought in Melvin Gordon. He will share touches with Phillip Lindsay, and it pushes Royce Freeman out of the picture, but it also gives them depth at the position if an injury occurs. Defensively the Broncos added a few names like Jurrell Casey and AJ Bouye to help get this defense back at the top of the rankings.
While the depth chart is backed with good running backs, Melvin Gordon is going to be at the top of it as the Broncos starting running back. However, Phillip Lindsay will still get his touches, creating a committee that will cap
Denver's offense has not been fantasy-friendly since Peyton Manning was under center, but the recent moves could make this a good one of Drew Lock takes a step in the right direction as the Broncos starting quarterback. They are loaded with young and talented wide receivers.
Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy, and KJ Hamler are the three starting wide receivers. Jeudy and Hamler are both in their rookie seasons, while Sutton is going on year three. Both will line up on the outside while Hamler is expected to take most snaps out of the slot.
Von Miller plays outside linebacker and is known for being one of the best pass-rushers at the position. Miller can play both sides but line up mostly as a weak-side linebacker in 2019. Bradley Chubb is on the opposite side, giving them dynamic pass-rushers.
Jeff Driskel is the man backing up Drew Lock for the 2020 season. Any injury to Lock and the Broncos are not in a good position to compete given Driskel has struggled in his career as a starting quarterback.
After Chris Harris left and went to the division rival Chargers, the Broncos traded for AJ Bouye. He came over from the Jaguars and has been one of the stronger cornerbacks in the league over the last few seasons.
