Drew Lock Fantasy

Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said it's a possibility that rookie quarterback Drew Lock (thumb) begins the season on Injured Reserve. Lock suffered a severely sprained right thumb during a sack early in the third quarter of the preseason game on Monday against the 49ers. He'll be limited to conditioning work the remainder of the preseason. With Lock banged up, Kevin Hogan and Brett Rypien will battle for the backup job behind Joe Flacco to start the year. Lock could be forced to miss half of his rookie season, but he's still a solid player to own in dynasty/keeper leagues.

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Drew Lock (hand) is likely done for the rest of the preseason after an MRI on his right hand showed a bad sprain, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The second-round selection suffered the injury in the preseason game Monday night against the 49ers while being sacked. The good news is that his injury won't require surgery, but he might not be ready for the regular season. In three preseason games, the rookie had gone 31-for-51 (60.8 percent) for 254 yards, a touchdown and interception. Lock could start games this year if Joe Flacco struggles, but he's mainly a dynasty league target in fantasy leagues. Kevin Hogan and Brett Rypien will back up Flacco with Lock injured.

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Drew Lock (hand) and rookie tight end Noah Fant (foot) were both injured in Monday's preseason game against the 49ers and are questionable to return. Lock went 7-for-12 for 40 yards before departing, while Fant caught two passes for seven yards on three targets. Both players will be instrumental to Denver's future, but it remains to be seen how much they'll play in their rookie seasons. Fant has the better chance to be fantasy relevant as Denver attempts to finally get some production from the tight end position. Lock could see some starts at some point if Joe Flacco falters. Both players are most attractive in dynasty/keeper formats in 2019. Stay tuned for more information on their respective injuries.
