All Broncos QB's OUT for Sunday - Practice Squad WR Kendall Hinton to start at QB

[stonewall 647]

Just when you thought it couldn't get any crazier. Broncos may not have an avialable QB

Maybe Elway can suit up! Some speculating that Royce Freeman would serve as an emergency QB:

 

[LoOnAtIk 75]

They’re not available to play. 
 

And apparently Broncos not forfeiting. This should be very interesting.

[LoOnAtIk 75]

It’s gonna be a wildcat / triple option offense lol

 

Whos starting Royce Freeman at RB if he’s named starting QB???

Oh my soul.  

Mike did you the news about the Niners need to find a new home to play at least two homes games?

I'll pass.....even in the flex position.

Can't run on the Saints, and we get -2 points for int's

Your league let’s you line up Herbert at RB?

Yep. Seems like that can be it's own topic.

[SaintsInDome2006 128]

Congrats to all owners of the Saints DST

[LoOnAtIk 75]

Saints have been removed from all sports books lol

[stonewall 647]

Bring in Kaepernick!

[stonewall 647]

Looks like practice squad WR Kendall Hinton will be the man. Former Wake Forest QB. Grab him up, boys!

[weepaws 2,457]

T Hill vs R Freeman, or T Hill vs K Hilton, this is what we saw coming based on this mandemic

Should I bench Patrick Mahomes for him?

[Mike FF Today 607]

 

[tanatastic 2,061]

Watch him be better than Lock.

This is all the more funny because Driskel tested positive which made the others deemed high risk but how much you wanna bet Driskel is perfectly healthy and doesn’t have it?

[Phil Simms 11 127]

 

[stonewall 647]

Just picked Hinton up in 3 leagues. May flex tomorrow if they keep his WR status.....which is doubtful after the Taysum Hill fiasco at ESPN

LOL!

Don't know if even you can get the Hinton-Hype-Train going....

I watched it, though, and I'll say this: Whoever put the clip together only showed highlights of games against legit competition (Clemson, NC State, Florida State, etc). Not a whole lot of arm talent, but he is shifty as heck in space. 

[Phil Simms 11 127]

Picked him up in one league, not really sure I can start him though. Jefferson, Crowder, Brown, James White & Drake. May stick him in over Crowder

[stonewall 647]

Maybe they won't change his designation. This just added to his player card on NFL.com:

Option for Broncos at QB

Hinton is expected to play at quarterback for the Broncos in Sunday's game against the Saints, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Hilton currently resides on the Broncos' practice squad and is officially listed as a wide receiver. However, he played quarterback for Wake Forest for three seasons before transitioning to wideout in 2018. The Broncos are expected to be creative, meaning the rookie likely won't get all of the work at quarterback. Nevertheless, he's an intriguing fantasy option since he's listed as a WR but carries the floor of a QB. He'll need to be activated from the practice squad before Sunday's game.

Yahoo lists him at WR...interesting flex play? May get wildcat 30 times from Gordon though

I'm flexing him in 3 leagues unless they change his designation.

May bomb....but to me that is what the flex position is for....potential upside.

This kinda stuff makes FF fun again, win or lose.

Yeah I'm debating. I'm favored to win, already have Gallman or Carson in flex...dont see Hinton doing better. He would have to throw a td at least 1.

[weepaws 2,457]

I would keep Gallman and the return of Carson.

NBC Denver's Mike Klis reports the Broncos may start RB Royce Freeman or practice squad WR Kendall Hinton at quarterback against the Saints after Drew Lock, Brett Rypien and Blake Bortles were forced to quarantine following Jeff Driskel's positive COVID-19 test. 

None of Lock, Rypien or Bortles are eligible to play, creating a farcical situation for Denver under center. Freeman could do some wildcat-ing, but Hinton was a quarterback at Wake Forest before injuries necessitated a switch to wideout. Either option will be purely disastrous vs. the NFC-leading Saints. The NFL needs to postpone this game, for the safety of the Broncos and the competitive integrity of the NFC playoff race.

IMHO, the last sentence makes the most sense. 

 

 

[stonewall 647]

FWIW, NFL.com still has Hinton listed as a WR, and have him projected with 13.66 points.

Yahoo also still has him listed as a WR, but has him listed as NA (Inactive), with zero points projected.

Check out latest ESPN's tweet still trying to justify Taysum Hill's TE designation last week:

 

[SF Forty Niners 22]

Oh my picked wrong day to drop New Orleans D

[Super Cubs 132]

screw it I'm still starting Fant

One would think that Fant would be the safest of Denver's receiving options.

[stonewall 647]

Hinton threw for 3,972 yards and 39 touchdowns as a junior......

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(in high school)

[weepaws 2,457]

Saints def is going to have an interesting game. 

[stonewall 647]

This guy found some good footage of Hinton tossing the football during Broncos training camp.

 

[DrG 94]

There is no objectively reasonable way to estimate Hinton tomorrow

[weepaws 2,457]

I think Freeman will also take some snaps from center.
