Wide Receivers (6)

Demaryius Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders, Isaiah McKenzie, Cody Latimer, Kalif Raymond, Jordan Taylor

Note: Carlos Henderson starts the season on the Regular Season PUP list

This was another battle that was very difficult to decide. The first four players that I had on the roster have earned it. Thomas, Sanders, and McKenzie were locks before the first preseason game.

Cody Latimer has earned his shot at the final 53. But it is with caution. He has not done a lot in the offense, but does have an impact on special teams. With Henderson placed on short term IR, this paves the way for both Raymond and Taylor.

Kalif Raymond has looked spectacular during the preseason. Jordan Taylor had a phenomenal catch in the second game. Because of his appearance on the roster last season, Taylor is the last player to make it.

I predict Bennie Fowler will become trade bait for the Denver Broncos. I am certain there are some teams that could use a wide receiver.
