3 Denver Broncos the Las Vegas Raiders should worry about in Week 10

Noah Fant, Tight End

The Denver Broncos have some solid young wide receivers on the roster, having spent draft picks on both Jerry Jeudy and K.J. Hamler this past April. Jeudy, the former teammate of Henry Ruggs III at Alabama, currently leads the team in receptions, but he is currently dealing with a shoulder injury heading into this one.

For years, the Raiders have struggled to defend against quality tight ends, and the Broncos certainly have a good one in Noah Fant. With Cory Littleton out, Las Vegas turns to Nicholas Morrow, and he will likely have a lot of one-on-one opportunities against Fant on Sunday.

Fant has 32 catches on 46 targets through the first seven games of the season, and is third on the team with 349 receiving yards. He also has hauled in two touchdowns, and if Jeudy is banged up on Sunday, you can expect Fant to play an even bigger role in the offense, especially if Drew Lock is under pressure.
