Top Storylines

How will the Broncos offense do without Sanders?

The Denver Broncos traded Emmanuel Sanders to the San Francisco 49ers on Tuesday. He was the final offensive player remaining from the Super Bowl 50 season. It is amazing how much can change in just three and a half years.

Now Courtland Sutton takes over as the number one wide out in Denver. I am fearful that the Broncos offense will regress without Emmanuel Sanders, but we will know more on Sunday and beyond.

Ju’Wuan James could play on Sunday

Denver has not seen Ju’Wuan James since he suffered an injury in the season opener against the Oakland Raiders. Now with the season almost halfway over, James looks to make his long awaited return.

He will be needed as the Denver Broncos offensive line has done a bad job at pass protecting. If not for that, there are some players that are holding quite a bit. I am looking at you Garett Bolles and Ron Leary.

Hopefully the return of James will help a struggling offensive line.
