4 years agoDenver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (shoulder) was going to be a game-time decision for Monday’s contest versus the Patriots, but after the game was postponed until next Sunday, he is now in line to return as the team’s starter. Having sustained a strained right rotator cuff Week 2, Lock has ceded starting signal caller duties to the duo of Jeff Driskel and Brett Rypien. After having gone 4-1 as the team’s starter down the stretch last season, there was palpable optimism around Denver and Lock to begin this year, although if he only misses two games, there’s ample time for the team to turn its season around. On paper, Lock’s matchup versus New England’s defense shouldn’t yield outstanding results, but with the team engulfed in a swath of positive COVID-19 tests, it’s difficult to know who will suit up, giving Lock some upside/contrarian appeal.--Jesse Borek
