Isaac Yiadom, CB

2018 snap count: 62 (15.2 percent)

Bradley Roby has been bad this season, and I mean bad. He’s allowed 24 receptions on passes thrown his direction this season, including three touchdowns and 358 yards in all.

Between Tramaine Brock and Adam Jones, the Broncos’ cornerback situation has been bleak all year long and aside from one big play given up to John Brown in his first NFL game, Isaac Yiadom has looked good in very limited snaps.

There’s no reason at this point why the Broncos aren’t giving him more snaps. Is Tramaine Brock really that big of an asset to the team right now? Will he even be with the team beyond this season?

Now, as poor as his tackling was against the Rams, Brock also got his hand up in a throwing lane that ultimately caused a deflection and interception, so he deserves credit where it’s due. But the Broncos are kicking a can down the road there and Yiadom was brought in as a potential solution.
