Denver Broncos wide receiver Cody Latimer will find his way onto the field this season, though it's unclear where he stands when it comes to the depth chart. With guys like Demaryius Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders and Wes Welker on the roster, Latimer won't get as much playing time as he'd like. But the snaps he gets will come in big situations.
Cody Latimer to get red zone looks, has plenty of potential for fantasy owners
Cody Latimer should be a red zone option for the Denver Broncos this season. We break down the fantasy implications.

Latimer will be used in plenty of Denver’s red zone packages, according to Jeff Legwold of ESPN. Latimer has good size and is tough to beat when it comes to jump balls. He’s not impossible to guard, but with the other aforementioned receivers on the field, he will be facing favorable matchups. He could also see more action if Welker misses time due to his concussion.
Fantasy Impact: Latimer isn’t a recommended starter in fantasy football, but he’s worth picking up regardless. There’s a chance he could put up plenty of touchdowns in limited time, and there’s also the chance that his workload picks up as the season goes on, making him a starter for fantasy owners down the line. If you’re running a dynasty league, he’s really a no-brainer.
