Drew Lock Fantasy

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock was forced into action in the 23-7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the second half of Week 4 after Teddy Bridgewater was diagnosed with a concussion. Unfortunately, he looked indecisive and out of sync with his receivers while going 12-for-21 with 113 yards, no touchdowns and one interception late in the game in the end zone while trying to force a pass to wide receiver Courtland Sutton. Lock can move a little but -- although he didn't attempt a single run -- and has a strong arm, but the same shakiness he showed in the second half is the whole reason the team brought in Bridgewater in the offseason to compete with him. If Bridgewater has to miss the Week 5 matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Lock will be a desperation option in two-QB superflex leagues. All of Denver's offensive skill players would take a slight hit as well.

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock went 5-for-7 for 67 yards and a touchdown in a 17-12 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in the team's preseason finale on Saturday night. Lock was efficient in his limited action on Saturday and had five more yards than starter Teddy Bridgewater on four fewer attempts, but he did lose a fumble. His lone touchdown came on a seven-yard pass to tight end Austin Fort. The 24-year-old has plenty of arm strength, but his struggles to take the next step the last two years led to Bridgewater winning the starting job in training camp this summer. As the backup entering Week 1 of the regular season, Lock has no business being rostered in redraft leagues, but he could enter the QB2 picture at some point if Bridgewater struggles.

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock will enter the team's final preseason game on Saturday against the Los Angeles Rams and the 2021 regular season opener as the backup to Teddy Bridgewater after the two competed for the starting job in training camp. Lock wasn't a disaster in the preseason, but Bridgewater just outplayed him slightly to win the starting job. The 24-year-old former second-rounder landed in this position after a disappointing 2020 season in which he started 13 games. Lock finished last in the league in completion percentage (57.3) and was tied for the lead in interceptions with 15. It wouldn't be a surprise if Lock ends up starting some games this year at some point, and Denver's offense has some talented weapons to work with, but Lock's fantasy stock is obviously at a low point as Week 1 approaches.
