Drew Lock Fantasy

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock, whose future in Denver may be in question after an up-and-down 2020 season, has been doing film sessions with Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning this offseason, according to offensive guard Dalton Risner. "Peyton Manning is a big fan of Drew Lock," Risner said. "Him and Drew have been doing a lot of work this offseason and watching film. If he's on board with Drew, I've been on board with Drew, too. It's been fun." Last year was Lock's first full season as the full-time starter in Denver, and it didn't help that his No. 1 wideout, Courtland Sutton, missed the vast majority of the year due to injury. Working with Manning won't hurt, but Lock will need to show fantasy managers more in 2021 if he's to become anything more than a mediocre low-end QB2.

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock didn't do enough in 2020 to prove that's he's the franchise QB, but head coach Vic Fangio said that Lock "can be" the starter in 2021 if he spends the offseason working on improving his abilities. Lock will also have to prove himself to a new general manager next season after long-time GM/president John Elway announced on Monday that he'll be moving to a senior role in football operations. The second-year signal-caller was limited to 13 games due to injury this year and finished with a completion percentage below 58 with 16 touchdowns and 15 interceptions, throwing for 2,933 yards on 443 attempts for a passer rating of 75.4. With any young QB, there's room for improvement, especially with Denver's offense being young in general, but the 24-year-old Lock will need to take the next step in 2021 to keep his job. He'll be off the radar in leagues that start two quarterbacks to begin the season.

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock had one of his best games of the season in the 32-31 Week 17 loss to the division-rival Raiders on Sunday, going 25-for-41 for a season-high 339 yards and two touchdowns. Lock didn't have any interceptions or fumbles, ending a streak of 11 straight games with a turnover. He finishes his first full season as the starting QB with 2,933 passing yards on 443 attempts, 16 touchdowns, 15 interceptions and three fumbles lost in 13 games. His completion percentage of 57.3 and QB rating of 75.4 were both down from 64.1 percent and 89.7, respectively, in his rookie season. The 24-year-old showed flashes but was mostly below-average, displaying poor accuracy and decision-making, which led to frequent turnovers. Lock could have competition under center in 2021, but it looks like general manager John Elway wants to see more. Heading into next fantasy season, Lock will be a low-end QB2 with a lot still left to prove.
