Justin Herbert- Weeks 6 and 18

Though he has yet to lead the Los Angeles Chargers to the playoffs, the general consensus is that Justin Herbert is probably a top-five quarterback in the NFL. The Broncos must see him twice, including in the season finale in a game that could be incredibly important.

Herbert can sling the ball all over the field. He is a guy that could pass for 5,000 yards every season and he has the pieces around him to do it with Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and a very good pass-catching running back in Austin Ekeler.

In two games against the Broncos last season, Herbert completed 50-of-75 passes for 540 yards with four touchdowns. The Broncos were able to intercept him twice. But with one more year now under his belt and a team looking to make a deep run this year, Herbert is on a short list of potential league MVP candidates.

The Broncos will need to bring their best against him this season. Twice.
