Broncos roundtable: Who leads Denver in receiving over the second half of the season?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:33:10 GMT

Parker Gabriel, Broncos beat reporter: The bye week is over and Denver’s looking at nine straight games to the finish line. At 3-5, the playoff hopes are slim but have a pulse. The Broncos held at the trade deadline and as such go into the second half of the season with the same group of pass-catchers as the first half. Did you know: The only 100-yard receiving game over the first eight for Denver was Marvin Mims, Jr.’s two catches for 113 against Washington in Week 2? And he’s got two catches for four yards over the past four weeks. Head coach Sean Payton keeps talking about getting him more involved and it keeps not happening. So this week’s question is simple: Who leads the Broncos in receiving yards over the final nine games? The leaderboard right now goes Courtland Sutton (380), Jerry Jeudy (336), Mims (246) and RB Samaje Perine (231). I find myself quite tempted to go way off the board and pick RB Jaleel McLaughlin, another player Payton and company sho...
