We are just a handful of days away from the Denver Broncos kicking off their 2022 NFL season by heading to Seattle to take on the Seahawks on Monday Night Football. We all know about the drama surrounding this game and how there is likely bad blood on both sides of the sideline. It’s going to be a big game for both teams, and potentially even the ‘Super Bowl’ of the Seahawks' season, and hopefully the Broncos come out on top.

However, before we get into all of that, let us take a look at the Broncos roster that will be taking on the Seahawks. The team has released their official week one depth chart ahead of their opener, so let us take a deep dive into that and discuss the decisions that have been made.

Denver Broncos Offense

Position Player Player Player Player
Position Player Player Player Player
WR 10 Jerry Jeudy 15 Jalen Virgil
LT 72 Garett Bolles 76 Calvin Anderson
LG 66 Dalton Risner 61 Graham Glasgow
C 79 Lloyd Cushenberry III 61 Graham Glasgow 60 Luke Wattenberg
RG 77 Quinn Meinerz 60 Luke Wattenberg
RT 57 Billy Turner 73 Cam Fleming
TE 85 Albert Okwuegbunam 83 Andrew Beck 87 Eric Tomlinson 82 Eric Saubert
WR 1 KJ Hamler 12 Montrell Washington
WR 14 Courtland Sutton 16 Tyrie Cleveland
RB 33 Javonte Williams 25 Melvin Gordon III 26 Mike Boone
QB 3 Russell Wilson 4 Brett Rypien

Notes

  • If K.J. Hamler is on a pitch count for snaps in week one, it appears that rookie Montrell Washington will be the one to spell him on offense. The rookie was the star of the preseason and training camp so I think we will see them utilize him in certain packages on offense.
  • TE/FB Andrew Beck is listed as the Broncos' number two tight end. So, when he is not lined up in the backfield as a fullback, he figures to be the guy in two tight-end sets. With that said, I think we will see a solid rotation at the tight-end position
  • Billy Turner is listed as the starting right tackle with veteran Cam Fleming as his backup. So, If Turner can’t go week one or is limited, Fleming looks to be the next man up.
  • Veteran Graham Glasgow is listed as the main backup at left guard and center while rookie Luke Wattenberg is the backup right guard and third-string center
