Zach Wilson Works As Clear QB3 In Preseason Opener

Denver Broncos quarterback Zach Wilson, as expected, worked as the clear QB3 in Sunday's preseason opener at Lucas Oil Stadium against the hosting Indianapolis Colts in the team's preseason opener behind Jarrett Stidham and rookie first-rounder Bo Nix. Wilson mostly worked with the third-team offense on Sunday and finished by going 10-for-13 passing for 117 yards without a touchdown or interception. He had three carries for minus-one yard but avoided a sack. The former first-round pick of the New York Jets came to Denver for a new opportunity after flaming out in the Big Apple, but his chances of competing for the starting QB job pretty much evaporated when the Broncos took Nix 12th overall in April's draft. The 25-year-old didn't look very good in spring practices and is well off the fantasy radar in 2024.
