Broncos | Two catches for Jerry Jeudy Sun Oct 18, 04:50 PM
Denver Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy caught two passes for 32 yards against the New England Patriots in Week 6. He was targeted five times during the game.
Link to story Broncos | Tim Patrick finishes with 101 yards Sun Oct 18, 04:39 PM
Denver Broncos WR Tim Patrick caught four passes for 101 yards against the New England Patriots in Week 6. He was targeted eight times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Patrick is more prominent than Jerry Jeudy in the game plan and on the field, no matter who the quarterback is. He made some strong plays on deep balls to account for Drew Lock's best plays of the day. He'll be in WR3/Flex consideration against the Chiefs next week. |

Broncos | Phillip Lindsay surpasses 100-yard mark Sun Oct 18, 04:29 PM
Denver Broncos RB Phillip Lindsay rushed for 101 yards on 23 carries against the New England Patriots in Week 6.
| Footballguys view: Lindsay ran with a ton of effort and intensity and will force the Broncos to reconsider Melvin Gordon as the lead back. He shouldn't be on the waiver wire in league and he might be flexworthy against the Chiefs next week. |

Broncos | Drew Lock throws two INTs Sun Oct 18, 03:44 PM
Denver Broncos QB Drew Lock went 10-for-24 for 189 yards, zero touchdowns and two interceptions against the New England Patriots in Week 6.
| Footballguys view: Lock wasn't very nuanced in his play and forced the ball to his college teammate Albert Okwuegbunam. He also threw two picks late that gave the Patriots a chance to win. He doesn't seem like anything but a desperation play, even in 2QB/Superflex leagues. Lock faces the Chiefs next week, which won't be as tough a draw as the Patriots secondary. |

Broncos | Denver brings two onto active roster Sat Oct 17, 06:17 PM
Denver Broncos RB Jeremy Cox and LB Josh Watson were elevated to the active roster Saturday, Oct. 17.
| Footballguys view: With Melvin Gordon (illness) out on Sunday, the team needed more running back depth behind Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman. Undrafted out of Old Dominion in 2019, Cox was signed to a futures deal by the Broncos in early 2020. He is a big back, weighing 225 pounds, but he has explosive traits (39-inch vertical leap) and can consistently catch passes out of the backfield. |
Broncos | Blake Bortles released by Denver Sat Oct 17, 01:55 PM
Denver Broncos QB Blake Bortles was released Saturday, Oct. 17.
| Footballguys view: Borltes was picked up a couple of weeks ago with QB Drew Lock banged up. With Lock returning to the lineup this week, the team felt comfortable moving on from Bortles. Jeff Driskel and Brett Rypien are the quarterbacks behind Lock on the depth chart. |

Denver Broncos RBs coach Curtis Modkins (illness) tested positive Saturday, Oct. 17, for COVD-19, and will not travel with the team to face the New England Patriots in Week 6.
Link to story Broncos | Noah Fant downgraded to out Sat Oct 17, 01:33 PM
Denver Broncos TE Noah Fant (ankle) was downgraded Saturday, Oct. 17, to out for Week 6 at the New England Patriots.
| Footballguys view: Fant was 50/50 in terms of returning this week but he's not yet fully recovered. That means the team will use more of Nick Vannett and Jake Butt in Week 6 against the Patriots. We might see rookie Albert Okwuegbunam activated for the first time this year too. |

Broncos | Melvin Gordon declared out for Week 6 Sat Oct 17, 10:48 AM
Denver Broncos RB Melvin Gordon (illness) has been declared out for Week 6's game against the New England Patriots. He was diagnosed with strep throat and will not be traveling with the team on their flight.
| Footballguys view: Gordon got strep throat the same week that he was cited for a DUI. Any team or league discipline may still be upcoming for the veteran back. Phillip Lindsay is back this week for the Broncos and he'll lead the way at the running back position. Royce Freeman will work as his primary backup. |

Denver Broncos TE Noah Fant (ankle) is 'truly questionable, 50-50' for the team's Week 6 matchup with the New England Patriots, according to head coach Vic Fangio.

Broncos | Melvin Gordon back on field Thu Oct 15, 01:30 PM
Denver Broncos RB Melvin Gordon (non-injury) returned to practice Thursday, Oct. 15.
| Footballguys view: Gordon was cited with a DUI on Tuesday, so his status for Week 6 is up in the air. Phillip Lindsay is back in action this week, so he could lead the way in the Broncos backfield -- even if Gordon plays against the Patriots on Sunday. |

Broncos | Drew Lock puts in full practice Wed Oct 14, 06:20 PM
Denver Broncos QB Drew Lock (shoulder) practiced in full Wednesday, Oct. 14.
| Footballguys view: Lock should be the starter for the Broncos on Sunday against the Patriots. They'll blitz him because Lock struggles mightily when you bring extra pressure. The Broncos season is in shambles, so they need to do what they can to see if Lock can be their franchise quarterback. |

Broncos | Phillip Lindsay practices in full Wed Oct 14, 06:17 PM
Denver Broncos RB Phillip Lindsay (foot) practiced in full Wednesday, Oct. 14.
| Footballguys view: Melvin Gordon's status is up in the air after being cited for a DUI on Tuesday night. Lindsay is back in action and should be their lead back. The Patriots have not allowed a 100-yard rusher this year so consider Lindsay more of a flex play in Week 6. |

| Footballguys view: Gordon was cited for a DUI and ticketed for speeding between 25-39 mph over the limit by Denver Police Department, court and police documents show late Tuesday night. Fangio says there will be some discipline for Gordon due to this incident. Good thing Phillip Lindsay is back in action this week for the Broncos. |

Broncos | Noah Fant on the field Wednesday Wed Oct 14, 02:21 PM
Denver Broncos TE Noah Fant (ankle) is participating in practice Wednesday, Oct. 14.
| Footballguys view: The early buzz was that Fant would not be able to play in Week 6. It's a good sign that he was out there for the media portion of practice. He'll no doubt be limited most of the week. We'll see what Fant can do on Friday. |
