Drew Lock Fantasy

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock didn't do a ton with his arm in the Week 18 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday, but he put the Broncos in position to pull off an upset and ran the ball four times for 35 yards and two touchdowns. Lock went 12-for-24 for 162 yards, no touchdowns or interceptions through the air in the 28-24 defeat. In three starts to close out the year with Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) sidelined, Lock completed 63% of his 71 pass attempts for 560 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions while running for the two scores. While he took care of the football and avoided turnovers, he also didn't do anything to earn anything more than a backup role heading into the 2022 season.

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (shoulder) was a full participant in practice on Friday and was taken off the injury report for Week 18 against the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday. The signal-caller left his Week 17 game against the Los Angeles Chargers due to this injury but returned later in the game. Since he already played once he had sustained this injury, it was fairly obvious that Lock would be active to close out the year with Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) injured. However, Lock starting doesn't typically translate to fantasy prosperity. Lock could be forced to throw the ball more than the Broncos would like this weekend, but he's still a low-end QB2 that should be avoided.

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (shoulder) was limited in practice on Tuesday, while Teddy Bridgewater remains in the league's concussion protocol. Head coach Vic Fangio essentially ruled out Bridgewater for the Week 18 regular season finale on Saturday against the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday. As long as Lock's shoulder is fine, he'll make his third straight start to close out the season for the Broncos. Lock went to the locker room during the Week 17 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers to have his shoulder examined, but he returned to the game and said the injury didn't hinder him. He was better than he was in Week 16, but Lock still did very little to put Denver's offense over the top, and he'll remain an unattractive low-end QB2 against KC on Saturday.
