DaeSean Hamilton, wide receiver

DaeSean Hamilton didn’t have a great rookie season for the Denver Broncos in 2018, but he did show that he has skills.

Following the season-ending Achilles injury to Emmanuel Sanders, Hamilton got more and more opportunities to make an impact for the team.

Hamilton recorded 20 of his 25 receptions during the last five games of the 2018 season. He was on the field on offense for 43.75% of the team’s offensive snaps.

Something to keep in mind with Hamilton was that he did contribute on special teams as well. He saw 93 plays on special teams (20.85%) and returned three punts for a total of 31 yards.

Hamilton’s role is yet to be determined. However, there is a chance he will see the field even more with the departure of Demaryius Thomas, who was traded away last season, and the uncertain Week One status of Emmanuel Sanders (Achilles).

Like many wide receivers on the team, Hamilton has plenty of potential. Hopefully he will be used properly in Rich Scangarello’s offense with Joe Flacco throwing him the football.
