Broncos fire HC Vance Joseph

Dec 31, 2018

Having just completed their first back-to-back losing seasons since the early 1970s, the Denver Broncos fired Vance Joseph on Monday, a day after the team finished 6-10.

Fantasy Impact:

Joseph, who still has two years remaining on the four-year deal he signed in 2017, lasted just 32 games with the team. The Broncos now are on the hunt for the fourth head coach in John Elway's tenure as the Broncos' top football executive. Denver was 5-11 in his first year.

Through two games, 69 of Christian Kirk's 77 snaps have been from the slot, per Pro Football Focus. He leads the team in yards per catch with 16.9, which is seventh-highest in the NFL among receivers with at least eight catches.

Fantasy Impact:

Since the Cardinals signed free agent wide receiver A.J. Green this offseason to line up outside, the plan was the move Kirk inside, where he played in college at Texas A&M. He said he is questioning himself less and more focused on the task in front of him. Rookie Moore also plays on the inside and had a standout game in Week 2 while Kirk is in the final year of his rookie contract, the story said.
