Lynch will serve as the Broncos' backup quarterback to open the season after the team named Trevor Siemian its starter on Monday.
Despite spending most of his rookie campaign as an understudy to Siemien, Lynch was still unable to unseat the incumbent in his second NFL training camp. Although the 2016 first-round pick drew praise for his performance in shells, once the Broncos strapped on their pads, it was Siemian who prevailed in the competition. In the wake of Lynch losing out on the starting gig again, he'll need an injury to Siemian in order to approach fantasy relevance outside of dynasty formats.
