2023 Fantasy Outlook
Given the keys to the kitchen last year, Wilson flamed out in shocking fashion. Coach Nathaniel Hackett was fired before the year was over, and Wilson struggled through a career-worst season defined by poor decisions, missed throws and a lack of timing. The result was career lows in a number of stats, including TD passes and completion percentage. The passing game boiled down to chucking it deep or dumping it off -- Wilson led the league in both percentage of attempts targeting go routes and percentage of attempts targeting RB screens. His league-high 80 attempts of 20-plus yards accomplished little (6 TD, 5 INT), other than contributing to a league- and career-high 55 sacks as he waited for routes to develop -- even though he ranked just 15th in pressure rate. To the rescue is former Saints coach Sean Payton, whose proven scheme should offer Wilson more high-percentage throws and more of the field. Wilson also stands to benefit from simple regression in the red zone, where last year his TD pass percentage was a mere 15.6, 32nd in the league. Javonte Willams (knee) is uncertain, but Payton aimed to re-make the running game -- and take some heat off Wilson -- by signing blockers OT Mike McGlinchey, OG Ben Power, TE Chris Manhertz and FB Michael Burton, and running back Samaje Perine. The Broncos also used their first pick in the draft on WR Marvin Mims, who has 4.38 speed.The conditions are present for a bounce back in a career-defining year for Wilson. Read Past Outlooks

Healthy and lean at OTAs
Wilson (knee) is participating in OTAs and said he feels "leaner and meaner" after losing some weight in the offseason, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
ANALYSIS
Fitness was the least of his problems last year, but it's at least good to hear Wilson is healthy and feeling strong after having arthroscopic surgery on his knee this winter. The Denver offense has a bunch of other players coming back from more serious injuries/surgeries, namely RB Javonte Williams (ACL), LT Garret Bolles (broken leg) and WRs Tim Patrick (ACL) and KJ Hamler (torn pectoral). Even so, Wilson should be set up better under new coach Sean Payton than he was last year with Nathaniel Hackett, aided by pricey additions at left guard (Ben Powers) and right tackle (Mike McGlinchey) and a second-round pick at wide receiver (Marvin Mims). Any issues with the knee didn't seem to impact Wilson's mobility much last year, as a 55-277-3 rushing line in 15 games was an improvement from 43-183-2 in 14 games his final season in Seattle.

Last year was a season of inglorious firsts for Wilson: first missed game, first three-game losing streak, first losing record. But despite a broken finger that cost him three games, he finished with 25 touchdown passes, becoming the third quarterback in NFL history with at least 20 TD passes in each of his first 10 seasons. This year brings an even bigger first: Wilson's debut as a Bronco. After forcing his way out of Seattle - in part because the offense didn't cook enough for his taste - Wilson looks set to fire it up in Denver. First-year head coach Nathaniel Hackett, the former Green Bay OC, is expected to place Wilson's big arm and play-making talent at the center of the gameplan. Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton and KJ Hamler form a strong WR trio, and the Broncos are high enough on third-year TE Albert Okwuegbunam that they included Noah Fant in the trade with Seattle. Melvin Gordon and Javonte Williams, who is coming off an impressive rookie year, form a tough, two-headed backfield, and, crucially, the offensive line is better than what Wilson's had since his early days in Seattle. Wilson turns 34 in November and doesn't run like he used to, but he only looked ordinary last season after returning too quickly from injury. He had three offensive coordinators his last five years in Seattle and the offense always looked the same. Now he gets to show it wasn't his fault.
