Broncos To Announce Starters For Preseason Opener Wednesday

3 months ago

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said on Monday that he will announce on Wednesday the starters for the team's preseason opener on Sunday against the hosting Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium. Whether or not rookie first-round quarterback Bo Nix is under center to begin Sunday's game, fantasy managers should still be able to catch their first glimpse of the first-year signal-caller at some point during the contest. Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson will also see some action this summer, but they carry far less upside than Nix does. The pecking order at running back in Denver will also be a storyline to watch, as Javonte Williams figures to get the first opportunity over veteran Samaje Perine as the Broncos' lead back after Payton praised the former earlier at training camp. The workloads of the speedy Jaleel McLaughlin and rookie fifth-rounder Audric Estime will also be worth noting.
