1. Elite, lethal receivers

Whether it ends up being Brock Osweiler or Peyton Manning throwing the ball, one luxurious constant both quarterbacks can enjoy is the talented receiver group on the other end of the field catching the ball.

Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders are two of the best wideouts in the NFL, and they just so happen to play for the same team. While both players saw their touchdown totals drop this season with Manning’s first half struggles, both still finished top-15 at their position in receiving yards by the end of the year. Sanders continued to show off his usefulness as both a receiver and a kick returner, and Thomas is still well-established as one of the top-five elite receivers in the league.

Combined, the dynamic duo have opened up opportunities for up-and-coming players like Jordan Norwood, Cody Latimer, and Kubiak favorite Owen Daniels to move the chains underneath.

As long as both stars are healthy, the Broncos have the vertical firepower to stretch the field and keep opposing defenses honest.
