Paxton Lynch

Broncos' Paxton Lynch inept at moving offense on Saturday

Denver Broncos quarterback Paxton Lynch completed 9-of-13 passes for 39 yards and rushed three times for 27 yards in the second preseason game.

What It Means:

Lynch has simply shown no ability to move the Broncos' offense. Despite a reasonable completion rate, he was a checkdown machine Saturday night against a lacking San Francisco 49ers' defense, generating his best play on a 10-yard scramble. Trevor Siemian gives the Broncos a better chance to win right now.

numberFire's models expect Siemian to start under center for the Broncos this season, and we rank him 30th among fantasy quarterbacks entering the year. He's expected to complete 308.0-of-519.4 (59.3 percent) passes for 3,306.0 yards with 18.96 touchdowns and 14.3 interceptions in 2017.
