Cleveland Browns vs. Denver Broncos: Probable Starting Lineup
For the Browns, Jameis Winston will start as quarterback, so expect him to sling the ball downfield. In the backfield, Nick Chubb is ready to bulldoze through defenses. The wideouts are Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore — both are fast, with Jeudy being a great route runner and Moore adding that deep threat. Tight end David Njoku will be there to help out, both catching passes and blocking.
Now, for the Broncos, Bo Nix will be the quarterback, and he’s got that dual-threat ability to keep things interesting. Javonte Williams is the workhorse running back, always ready to push through defenders. Courtland Sutton is a reliable wide receiver who can make the tough catches, while Devaughn Vele adds some speed and potential as a big-play guy. Adam Trautman will be their tight end, playing an important role in both the passing game and as an extra blocker.
