Justin Simmons

I mentioned in my preview this week that Justin Simmons should be the X-Factor in the game against the Jaguars. That is a big part as to why he is one of my key players to Sunday’s game. But his success will all depend on the pass rush as well.

With a rookie quarterback in Gardner Minshew under center, the pass rush will look to get after him the majority of the day. This could mean he will force some passes. That is where Simmons comes into play. If he can make that center field interception, the turnover should help Denver’s momentum.

Justin has been quiet through the first three games of the season, therefore, I am hoping that he can make an impact against the Jaguars.
