Fantasy Upside
Known more as a blocking TE, Virgil Green is coming off of career-highs in receptions (22) and yards (237) last season. His best game came in an October win over the Chargers, where he caught four passes for 55 yards. He is a huge weapon, especially in the red zone, at 6-foot-5 and 255 pounds.
Fantasy Downside
Green saw a lot of playing time the past two seasons due to his run-blocking ability in Gary Kubiak’s more conservative offense. However, he was only targeted 37 times in 12 contests and scored just once –- in the Broncos' meaningless season finale.
2017 Bottom Line
Green will likely be the Denver starting TE again when the season begins. He's not much of a threat in the passing game, though, which could dampen his playing time. Even with an offense expected to pass the ball more this season, there is no reason for Green to be on your fantasy roster.
