(KFFL) The Denver Broncos are the first team in NFL history to have four wide receivers with at least 10 catches, 140 yards receiving and one touchdown through the first three games of the regular season, reports The Denver Post's Mike Klis. WR Brandon Lloyd has 14 receptions for 339 yards and one score, Jabar Gaffney has 17 catches for 189 yards and a score, Eddie Royal has 17 receptions for 186 yards and a score and Demaryius Thomas has 10 catches for 140 yards and a touchdown. QB Kyle Orton has been getting everyone involved after primarily just having his target locked on WR Brandon Marshall (now with Miami) last year.

The one consistent feature of this attack is the deep threat to Lloyd. It's hard to put a finger on what prompts the rest of it. I figure the tougher the pass rush the more necessary gaffney is as a hot read. I feel Royal's role stays about the same weekly, and thomas is the guy thats just gonna go off occasionally. If they ever get a healthy Moreno for a 3 or 4 week run this offense could be real fierce. I wish I had Orton as my #2 QB in every league!
 
Iagree that this passing game nuch better than anyone expected. The problem will be figuring out who to play each week. All 4 can be considered rosterable at this point.

Cant find it right now but pretty sure RC said Gaffney would have a good week #3, and I played Gaffney in a league simply because of that post!

What your call for him week #3 RC? :)
