Case Keenum

Week 6 vs. Los Angeles Rams
With his team playing from behind for most of the game last Sunday at the Jets, Case Keenum threw 51 passes, leading to a season-high 377 yards and two TDs – his first scoring tosses since Week 1. It wasn’t all good though, as he was sacked four times in the loss and kept his dubious streak going of at least one pick in every contest as a Bronco. With Aqib Talib out, the Rams pass defense has been a bit vulnerable, allowing an average of 234 yards per game through the air and yielded three TD tosses to Russell Wilson last week. However, Keenum remains just a QB2 start.

Week 4 vs. Kansas City Chiefs

In the loss at Baltimore last Sunday, Case Keenum finished with 192 yards and zero TDs. He was picked off once and sacked three times, as the Broncos offense struggled to move the ball for much of the afternoon. In the past two weeks, Keenum has thrown for an average of 207 yards, without a score and two interceptions. On Monday night, he faces a Chiefs defense tied for last versus the pass. The Kansas City offense has put up a lot of points, so Keenum will need to be sharp for Denver to keep up. He remains a QB2 play, however.

Week 2 vs. Oakland Raiders

It was a bit of a rollercoaster start for Case Keenum in Denver last week against the Seahawks. While he threw for 329 yards and three TDs, he was also picked off three times. He completed 64 percent of his passes and did a great job of spreading the ball around, connecting with seven different pass-catchers. In the Monday night loss to the Rams, Oakland’s defense allowed 233 passing yards to Jared Goff, who tested the secondary multiple times on deep routes. While the yardage total wasn’t high for Goff, he did generate a few pass interference calls from long throws. Look for Keenum to air it out versus the Raiders on Sunday, but he remains more of a QB2 option.
