Favorite futures for 2023
Jerry Jeudy over 4.5 receiving TDs. Projection: 5.6 (14 games).
This number is too low for a player who scored six TDs in 15 games last season despite Denver's horrific offensive efficiency and production for a majority of the year. Jeudy saw sufficient work near the goal line, having soaked up a career-high nine end zone targets (19th among WRs), but there's room for even more growth there. Jeudy emerged as Denver's No. 1 wide receiver, which is somewhat notable, as at least one wide receiver reached five TD receptions in all 15 seasons during Sean Payton's tenure as head coach of the Saints. Denver averaged 1.8 offensive TDs per game last season, whereas a Payton offense has never fallen below 2.4 (3.2 average over the past decade). An improvement is expected in that department in 2023, which adds to the appeal of Jeudy hitting the over. -- Mike Clay
Over 8.5 wins
Why would Sean Payton have taken this job if he thought Russell Wilson was washed? It just doesn't make any sense to me. Payton could command a hefty payday from multiple teams around the league. So why risk your reputation on a busted quarterback...unless, of course, you think he can be salvaged. There are several indicators that Denver is headed for some positive regression this season, notably their 4-9 record in one-score games last year as well as their -72-point differential, which is more indicative of a 6.3-win team. Throw in an above average defense and I think this club rebounds in a big way. -- Joe Fortenbaugh
*Record against the "Over" line set for the game. Both teams are credited with a win if the game went over, a loss if under, and a tie if pushed.
