Post-Draft AFC West Fantasy Stock Watch
Denver Broncos
Stock Up: QB Drew Lock
Lock started five games at the end of 2019, where he completed 64 percent of his passes and threw for 1,020 yards. He can certainly build on those numbers, and he has even more weapons with rookie WRs Jerry Jeudy and KJ Hamler joining stud Courtland Sutton. If you wait on a quarterback, Lock could be a sneaky late-round gem.
Stock Down: RB Royce Freeman
Now that the Broncos have signed running back Melvin Gordon, there is no place for Freeman in their committee. Gordon and Phillip Lindsay are going to get the majority of the touches in the backfield, so expect Freeman's fantasy value to be tied to an injury, or perhaps he might be traded in the preseason.
