MONTRELL WASHINGTON NEWS

Operates as returner in debut Washington failed to play a single offensive snap in the Monday's 17-16 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact After and impressive training camp, Washington secured his role as the Broncos' returner on both kickoffs and punts. He returned three kickoffs for 51 yards, adding one punt return for three yards. The rookie wideout did not see any action with the offense as Denver's No. 4 receiver. One should assume that this will likely be the case moving forward barring injuries to fellow wideouts Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy and KJ Hamler. Washington should remain off the fantasy radar as the Broncos host the Texans in Week 2.

Developing as a playmaker Washington caught two of three targets for 25 yards and returned two kickoffs for 55 yards in the Broncos' 42-15 loss to the Bills.

Impact Washington continues to make big-time plays for the Broncos as both a receiver and a returner. The rookie is receiving praise from both coaches and teammates, demonstrating that he can be a versatile weapon on offense and special teams. As Denver looks to find a way to replace Tim Patrick (knee), it seems increasingly plausible that Washington could lock himself into the No. 4 spot on the wide receiver depth chart behind Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy and KJ Hamler.

Impact The rookie fifth-round pick has been turning heads in training camp, and he was able to carry over some of the momentum into his debut Saturday night while drawing the start and the first target of the contest. However, as his final line indicates, Washington's biggest contributions by far came as a returner, and the Samford product's ticket to ultimately latching on to a roster spot could well prove to be his prowess on special teams.

Impressive in camp Washington is impressing coaches with his performance in training camp thus far, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Talking to the media Tuesday, coach Nathaniel Hackett said of Washington, "He's grasping a lot and he's made a bunch of good plays around here." Hackett also mentioned that the rookie wideout has worked very hard and that quarterback Russell Wilson has "latched on to and really tried to push" Washington. With teammate Tim Patrick suffering a season-ending knee injury Tuesday, the competition for roster spots in the receiver room is likely to heat up going forward. Washington has a chance to carve out a role as a depth option in Denver's passing attack, especially if he continues to impress Wilson and the Broncos' coaching staff.
