Drew Lock Fantasy

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock has been throwing to first-round rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy, among others, at a Denver-area field, according to a source. With teams not able to meet yet for offseason workouts due to COVID-19, many quarterbacks have set up workouts with their teammates. It's a way for the new teammates to get to know each other and to start building chemistry. Jeudy came into this year's draft as the consensus top route-runner among his class, and he will immediately start opposite Courtland Sutton in 2020. The 21-year-old former Alabama star has a bright future, but temper expectations initially with a QB heading into his first full season as the starter. We wouldn't expect Jeudy to see a ton of targets in his rookie season, which should make him more of a WR4 target with upside in fantasy drafts.

Denver Broncos general manager John Elway has been looking for an adequate replacement under center since Peyton Manning retired after bringing a third Super Bowl title to the city of Denver. Elway liked what he saw from Drew Lock in his rookie season in 2019. "I think with the way Drew played at the end of last year, we saw the signs of a guy that has a chance to be very successful in this league," Elway said. The Broncos started six different QBs in the first 59 games after Manning's retirement. Lock spent much of his first season on Injured Reserve after a preseason thumb injury, but he won four of the final five games when he entered the lineup to close the season. He completed 64.1 percent of his passes for 1,020 yards, seven touchdowns and three interceptions. He also led two game-winning drives. The Broncos think that they've hit on their guy in Lock, which is why they have added plenty of offensive weapons around him heading into 2020. There is upside in Lock's arm, but he'll continue to be more of a midrange QB2 for fantasy owners until he can prove successful over a full season in the NFL.

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock is excited about the team's new offensive scheme under new offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur and quarterbacks coach Mike Shula. Lock went 4-1 as a starter in his rookie season and is looking forward to taking the next step after throwing for 1,020 yards and seven touchdowns. He'll also focus on his speed and running the ball more in 2020 when plays break down in the pocket. If the Broncos can upgrade their aerial attack around standouts Courtland Sutton and Noah Fant, Lock could have some appealing upside as a QB2 in fantasy drafts this fall.
