2020 Fantasy Outlook
Spencer finished 10th in the league with 644 total return yards in 2019 but managed just 37 yards on nine offensive touches. Expect more of the same in 2020. Despite rookie KJ Hamler's sub-4.3 speed, coach Vic Fangio has reaffirmed his confidence in Spencer as the team's returner on both punts and kicks. That should be enough, absent a stark change of plans, to keep Spencer on the roster, even if his role on offense remains extremely limited. Read Past Outlooks

Likely safe at returner
WRDenver Broncos
April 25, 2020
Despite the addition of speedster KJ Hamler in the second round, it would "take a lot" for him to unseat Spencer as the Broncos' primary returner, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hamler returned 44 kicks for 1,036 yards and 37 punts for 222 yards during his two seasons at Penn State. That production, paired with elite speed, led some to make the immediate assumption that Hamler would come in as a returner. Head coach Vic Fangio dispelled that notion early with reporters, voicing his preference not to use offensive or defensive starters as returners. Not to mention, Spencer finished 10th in the league in total return yards in 2019. The addition of Hamler and Jerry Jeudy may spell trouble for some members of the Broncos' receiving corps, but probably not Spencer.
