Fantasy Upside
Heading in to the regular season, Virgil Green figures to be Denver’s starting TE. He is coming off of a career-high 12 catches in ’15. With a run-focused offense, he and second-year pro Jeff Heuerman will be part of the two-tight end sets.
Fantasy Downside
Playing mainly as a backup during his five NFL seasons, Green has just 35 receptions and two touchdowns. He missed almost all of the offseason program after multiple finger surgeries and has been limited in camp in an effort to try to keep him healthy.
Bottom Line
With the Broncos Virgil has hoped to be a more important part of the passing game and should get a chance to show what he can do this year. However, the big numbers from Green won’t be there, especially with the coaching staff high on Heuerman.
