Virgil Green is Broncos' starting tight end

Denver Broncos tight end Virgil Green is officially listed as the starting tight end on the team's Week 1 depth chart.

What It Means:

Jeff Heuerman drew some early-offseason buzz as a potential breakout candidate after missing his 2015 rookie season, but he hasn't been able to stay healthy. Green has never been a model of health, either, but he seized the job in training camp.

Our algorithms project Green for 347 receiving yards and 3.56 touchdowns on 31 receptions this year, as the 27th-best fantasy tight end in 2016.
