Jordan Norwood suffers torn ACL, fantasy football season over
The Broncos’ wide receiver tore his ACL in practice on Wednesday, ending his season. We break down the fantasy implications.


Fantasy Impact: One would think that with names like Wes Welker, Julius Thomas, Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders ahead of him on the depth chart, there would be little room for Norwood to make the team. However, the fourth year receiver was impressing people during training camp and had a good shot to make the team's opening week roster.
In his three previous NFL campaigns with the Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles, Norwood appeared in a total of 17 games, catching 36 passes for 405 yards and a single career touchdown.
Though he’s still in the midst of his prime at the age of 27, Norwood is facing a long road back not just due to his ACL injury, but also because he’s a marginal player at best. He can be officially ruled out of any fantasy consideration at this time.
