Broncos’ 2022 projected receiving leaders

Receiving yards: Jerry Jeudy

As stated, Wilson is going to spread the ball around and make some plays in the passing game by getting all of his targets involved. The Broncos could have a different wide receiver be the leader in receptions, receiving yards and touchdown catches and in fact, that is exactly what I am going to predict happens.

Jeudy had 856 yards receiving as a rookie in 2020 but injuries limited him last year and he finished with just over half that. While he’s never been able to post huge numbers, the talent has always been evident.

Jeudy needs to have a big year in 2022 and with Wilson tossing the ball to him, he will.

Receiving touchdowns: Tim Patrick

Tim Patrick has led the Broncos in touchdown catches in each of the last two seasons so why not make it a hat trick? Patrick will be a big target for Wilson down in the red zone and he will look for No. 81 often.

Look for Patrick to have around eight or nine touchdown catches this season.
