Driskel benched, Broncos fall to 0-3 after loss to Bucs

Records first TD of 2020 Patrick caught all four of his targets for 43 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Buccaneers.
Impact Patrick was easily the most efficient of Denver's top three pass-catchers, as Jerry Jeudy (nine targets) and Noah Fant (10 targets) posted catch rates of 55.6 percent and 50 percent, respectively. The 26-year-old also accounted for multiple receptions Weeks 1 and 2, but Patrick's yardage total was his best output since Week 16 of last season. With Courtland Sutton (knee-ACL) on injured reserve, Patrick will remain the No. 2 option at wide receiver as the Broncos head into a Thursday night matchup against a Jets team that has surrendered 31.3 points per game.

Broncos receivers facing big tests with Sutton sidelined
The Denver Broncos entered the season feeling really good about their deep receiving corpsSEPTEMBER 25, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Role secure in Denver Patrick should start opposite Jerry Jeudy following news that Courland Sutton (torn ACL) will miss the rest of the season, Ben Swanson of the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact Patrick has logged at least 65 percent of offensive snaps in each of the first two games, and with Sutton done for the season, that role should be locked down for the foreseeable future. However, he hasn't been very productive through two weeks with just six catches for 53 yards on 10 targets, and his five targets in Week 2 were surpassed by rookies Jerry Jeudy (eight) and KJ Hamler (seven). There's more ambiguity now, too, as QB Drew Lock (shoulder) will sit out at least two weeks, and Jeff Driskel will take over under center. With Patrick potentially being the fourth receiving option for Driskel behind Jeudy, Hamler and TE Noah Fant, his fantasy outlook is bleak.

Snags four passes in loss Patrick caught four of five targets for 29 yards during Monday's 16-14 loss to Tennessee.
Impact Patrick was the elder statesman on the field Monday night as Courtland Sutton (shoulder) was held out. Patrick came up with a big 15-yard grab on second and long to set up Denver's fourth-quarter touchdown, but it was an otherwise quiet night, and things shouldn't get much louder once Sutton returns to the lineup. While young and inexperienced, Denver has a lot of skill players to try to get the ball to, and Patrick is probably no better than the fifth or sixth option in Drew Lock's arsenal.

Rejoins practice Patrick (undisclosed) returned to practice Friday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact Patrick was absent Monday through Thursday but will suit up to close out the week. He's competing for the No. 3 receiver job, with DaeSean Hamilton and KJ Hamler (hamstring) being the other candidates. Hamler hasn't been able to practice for the past week and a half, and it isn't clear if he'll be available for Week 1.

Absent from practice Patrick (undisclosed) got banged up during Sunday's practice and isn't participating Monday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Impact With rookie second-round pick KJ Hamler nursing a hamstring injury, Patrick was looking at an easier path to a top-three role Week 1. It isn't yet clear if his own injury might threaten that status, but the Broncos figure to give DaeSean Hamilton most of the No. 3 receiver reps for the time being. Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy appear locked in as the lead duo.

Has clearer path to starting gig Rookie speedster KJ Hamler (hamstring) is set to miss several weeks, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports. Hamler's absence provides less competition for Patrick, who has been workin...
Impact Reports out of camp have been that Patrick has consistently played opposite Courtland Sutton on the first-team offense with rookie first-rounder Jerry Jeudy in the slot. Hamler has made some highlights on the second team, but any chance he had at competing for an enlarged role early in the season are likely out the window. Patrick is a big target, but don't expect huge results even if he locks up the second outside receiver gig. Even as the WR2, Patrick is likely no better than the fourth option in the passing game behind Sutton, Jeudy, and sophomore tight end Noah Fant. His production will likely vary week to week depending on how opponents defend Sutton and Jeudy.
