One of the biggest reasons for optimism with Lock is the superb weapons he has around him.
Wideout Courtland Sutton emerged as a true No. 1 receiver last year, hauling in 72 catches for 1,112 yards and six touchdowns. With a bonified No. 1 target in Sutton, the Broncos were able to acquire arguably the best pure wideout in the draft in Jerry Jeudy, and arguably the bets slot receiver in the draft with K.J. Hamler.
That trio of wideouts should give opposing secondaries fits all season. We can’t forget about tight end Noah Fant either, who had a very solid rookie outing last year, accumulating 40 receptions for 562 yards and three touchdowns.
Along with all these pass catchers at Lock’s disposal, he’ll also have an improved offensive line blocking for him with the additions of rookie third round pick Lloyd Cushenberry III and free agent acquisition Graham Glasgow. The backfield tandem of Melvin Gordon and Phillip Lindsay should also benefit from this improved offense line and allow Lock to really utilize the play action game.
There’s no reason Lock shouldn’t succeed this season. With Pro Bowl talent at nearly level of the offense, Lock should have a field day distributing the ball to all his playmakers.
If you start to notice Lock slide in your respective fantasy drafts this season, be sure to snag him before someone else does. He could help your team go on a deep playoff run.
