Trevor Siemian, QB, Denver Broncos

Trevor Siemian is battling a shoulder injury, but it is to his non-throwing shoulder. The reports this week have gotten progressively worse, but Denver Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said he is willing to start Siemian whether he is able to practice this week or not. It's certainly worth monitoring.

Siemian has had a solid start to the season, posting 0.20 Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) per drop back, which ranks 13th among the 29 quarterbacks with at least 100 drop backs to start the year. He has also been efficient from a fantasy football standpoint as he ranks sixth among quarterbacks in fantasy points per pass attempt (minimum of 25 attempts).

Siemian also draws a terrific matchup this week. He will be taking on an Atlanta Falcons defense that ranks 27th in Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per play, while having given up the most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks.
